Cricket: International Discussion Thread

Robin Jackman, Dean Jones and John Edrich have all passed on in the last day or so. RIP.

2020 keeps on taking.
 
Dean Jones passed away in September this year, unless you're talking about a different Deano.

From a stroke.

One of the few Aussie Cricketers I liked. Lived a 100 years worth in just 59 years. In typical Deano strike rate. RIP.

19:29 Local Time, 06:29 GMT, 11:59 IST: A good fightback by Pakistan as they manage to avoid the follow on. Not many would have anticipated that when the visitors were struggling at 80/6 earlier in the day. It was a collective effort by their pacers as Southee, Boult, Wagner and Jamieson bagged two wickets each. New Zealand had Pakistan by the scruff of their neck, until Rizwan and Faheem decided to step up. Rizwan played a captain's innings, but unfortunately got run-out. But, Faheem looked positive right throughout his innings and helped the visitors to avoid the follow. Deserved a century for his fighting innings, but Jamieson spoilt his party by getting his wicket in the final over of the day. New Zealand have a healthy first innings lead of 192, so they'll try to add some quick runs and set a big target for Pakistan tomorrow.
 

IND 326

AUS 195 & 133/6 (66)

Day 3: Stumps - Australia lead by 2 runs
 
Given their form in this match so far, it is difficult to see how the Aussies will survive this one.
 
India complete a great win against the odds. Australia must be wondering how they got so outclassed by a side that was humiliated a week ago, missing their best batsman and their number 2 bowler.

The new kid, Gill at the top of the order for India looks really good...kinda like Markram did when he first emerged.
