India heading for a massive T20 score against S Africa. Currently 257 for 1 off 18 overs!
 

General Cricket Thread

I think India have got this one.

This is getting beyond embarrassing.

Why was that an umpire's review?

If India thought it was a catch why didn't they review it?

Saw highlights of the Australia v Pakistan T20 game.

Some typically dodgy fielding in terms of dropped catching by the latter.

I find these slog fests really dull tbh. Might as well use a bowling machine.

Its a crap form of cricket created for players with no technique.
Lets be honest, T20 is pub cricket that should be played on Wednesdays at Thames Water

Just off on some travel but the Border-Gavaskar Trophy test series starts less than a week. Probably deserves its own thread as it’s a bigger series than the ashes #facts ?

India have to win 4-0 to guarantee a spot in the WTC final but highly unlikely. Pant and Kohli (his farewell Australia test tour) to star with the bat and be interesting to see how Jaiswal copes. First big test for him. Sadly, onus will be on Bumrah to take the wickets and Shami absent for at least the first two tests huge loss.

Prediction 2-2 and Aussies will cheat and by the end of the series no one will be wiser where the Champions Trophy will be held.

I see that the openers for Team Abu Dhabi in Monday's match were (Phil) Salt and (Michael) Pepper. This may possibly make it the first Intercondimental cricket tournament.

Marco Jansen takes 7-13 as SA bowl SL out for 42 for a lead of 149.
 

General Cricket Thread

Dont worry Ben you dont need to understand


England are nowhere near the Top 2

Even Sri Lanka had a better chance (until they were out for 42)
 

General Cricket Thread

They still hit 6 boundaries in the innings

In fact at 32 for 8 Coetzee conceded 10 in 3 balls !!
 

General Cricket Thread

And SA followed on and batted for 143 overs !!!

England
438
South Africa
30 & 390

This could be an interesting finish on Monday

South Africa v Sri Lanka
SA 358 (103.4) and 317 (86.0)
SRI 328 (99.2) and 205-5 (52.0)
Sri Lanka require 143 runs to win with 5 wickets remaining

They were 122 for 5 today

History is not on their side with such a huge target
And neither is their tail
SRI collapsed from 261 for 3 to 328 in 1st innings

SA beat Pakistan in their 2nd T20 in front of a packed crowd. Shame they bottled it on 29 June 24. Oh well. Not hard to beat this Pakistan team in any format at the moment (sorry @Jam Jar not so much for @TW3Bee) but attendances for T20 in SA have been superb but worrying is the attendances for the recent test series against SL it was so disappointing. Hardly anyone in the crowd.
 

General Cricket Thread

Yeah. Silver lining Ayub looked good actually played T20 the proper way unlike Rizwan and Babar Azam. Likely will lose every game on the tour. And that means SA will make the WTC final

I saw these stats which I think is a useful metric in how good a test batsmen:

Test innings per century (min 50 :

D Bradman: 2.76
K Williamson: 5.81
S Smith: 6.03
K Sangakkara: 6.13
G Sobers: 6.15
J Kallis: 6.22
Y Khan: 6.26
S Tendulkar: 6.45
B Lara: 6.82
V Kohli: 6.83
R Ponting: 7.00
V Richards: 7.58
J Root: 7.69
R Dravid: 7.94

A few thoughts:

Bradman numbers are impressive but masked by the fact he played probably 90% of his tests against one team.
Kumar is one of the most underrated batsmen ever and hardly ever gets mentioned in all time teams. Younis Khan was quality.
Take away Williamson record at home, he would be near the bottom.

Our ladies are doing rather well in their Test v The Saffers. Needing 351 to win, SA are currently 44-7, with Lauren Bell having taken 4 wickets so far.
