Cricket: International Discussion Thread

NZ defended 108 against the Lankans in a T20...pretty cool game to watch. Almost two hat-tricks in an innings - Lockie Ferguson got one and Glenn Phillips 3 wickets off 4 balls.
 
Shoriful Islam to Azmatullah, SIX runs
start the tuk-tuk because Afghanistan are done here! They have razed Bangladesh into the turf in the final ODI, and they have won this series in spectacular fashion! Slot ball on off and guess what happens to those - they go miles. Omarzai gets his front foot out of the way and clatters it over long on. Lets out a huge roar of celebration - he has been front and centre of this run-chase in the last ten overs and he was the man to land the coup de grâce! Spare a thought for Bangladesh too. They fought and fought and fought, but in the end, they just did not have enough to play with!

Afghanistan win the series 2-1.

Wow, a tense and nervy game of cricket. It ebbed one way, then threatened to flow the other. But all things considered, Afghanistan probably had things under control from the moment Gurbaz and Omarzai got together. The former managed his eighth ODI hundred and set the foundation for the run-chase before Omarzai, under immense pressure, kept his calm and sealed the deal. A word of appreciation for Nabi too, who used every bit of his experience to outfox Bangladesh and find the fence whenever his team needed and wanted him to.

This result means that Afghanistan have now won three ODI series in a row. Bangladesh still have work to do before the Champions Trophy rolls in early next year but this series will have given them enough to cling on to, and enough to take confidence from.

Pretty good performance with the ball from Pakistan. Aus were 52 for 0 from 21 balls. Pakistan also dropped 6 catches but aus still only managed 147.

Looking like it's shaping to be a good finish. Either side still well in it.

EDIT: That wicket of Khan could have just tilted it in the Aussies' favour.

The Pakistani fielding was atrocious even by their shoddy standards. I'm glad they lost (and I usually want Aus to lose).

Bracewell banned for cocaine. One month is rather lenient. I am sure the dealers in Joburg will be in contact to make sure he enjoys his time at SA20.

Doug Bracewell serves one-month ban after testing positive for cocaine

The suspension was backdated to commence on April 11, which was the date of the provisional suspension order, so Bracewell is eligible to play now
