Cricket: International Discussion Thread

This muppet is making a big noise but if Eng/Ind reached the final there would be crickets.
They basically got fcked by their own system now they looking for alternatives.

Vaughan is an idiot. There's a reason why he can't get a gig on Sky sports in the UK were the main ex players work.

Atherton said on the Sky sports cricket pod that he is only for it if there is promotion and relegation. For divisions not elite tiers.

 

[Heisenborg]

Promotion and relegation is fine by me. We are in the top 3

England would be a tier 2 team. Lets do this.

When does it start?

Powerplay yields 47. But there's a small electrical fire in the DJ booth in the stands! A man is there with a fire extinguisher. He can't put it out though. Play has been halted. Fans are actually being evacuated from the stands nearby! It's on the third tier under the scoreboard.

Hurricanes beat Heat, Hurricanes won by 5 wickets (with 0 balls remaining)

Day 2 in the Pakistan - Windies game and it's in the third innings already (with only 41 overs played on day 1 nogal).

Windies only faced 1 over of pace in their innings of 137 all out...just subcontinent things.

The way Pakistan "prepared" the pitch...

Not surprised to see this. Such a lop-sided contest. Nothing great to watch in this game. Almost a blight on test cricket.

India thumped England in the first T20. England bowled out for 132. India chased it in 12.5.

It’s quite impressive teamwork that SA got into the final without having a player in this team.

It's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. The batting I can understand, but we have the no 3 and 5 ranked bowlers, at least one of them should have made it

So difficult to argue for any or players, bavuma, marco or kg are the closest.

I turned the tv off at 38/7

 

[3WA]

Why did they put two tests on that crap pitch Multan?

 

[Neoprod]

Shoe is on the other foot today...let's see how the Pakistanis like it.

 

[RunningFromFat]

Windies favourites to win the test tomorrow, unreal game

 

[Creag]

West Indies are just one wicket away from their first win in Pakistan since 1990.

 

[Creag]

And history is made. WI win by 120 runs in a low scoring came.

Pakistan decision with this choice of cricket pitch backfired horribly. WI effect the win with just 3 spin blowers. Roach was injured and couldn't bowl.
