Another superlative contest between bat and ball unfolding in Australia by the looks of things.

Another superlative contest between bat and ball unfolding in Australia by the looks of things.
Those bowling attacks are pretty grisly in all fairness.
Yeah, looking at the Australian line-up, have they picked any actual bowlers? Just Lyon? What's Mick Lewis up to these days? If this was a first innings his record (I've no idea if it is his record) could be in danger.
Lyon's not really an ODI bowler, either. Hastings has been alright in this series, mind.
But really, this is just a shambolic series that shouldn't exist and serves no purpose.
I do not like the Indian team, but I could watch Ajinkya Rahane bat all day.
One more wicket and we'll close it out comfortably. These two could still bring it home though.
Slip catch in the last ten overs of an ODI. Don't see that every day.
This is a vintage collapse. Five wickets for seventeen runs. And they could still win despite that, if someone can hold up an end and Jadeja cuts loose.
So much at stake, too.
Shambolic series that serves no purpose. :nodd:
Still, somehow despite everything, an interesting denouement has broken out. Although a couple of players have been found out for temperament; all Dhawan (R) had to do was stick around at one end at let Jadeja do the work. Then he hit the stupidest shot in the world.
EDIT: Captaincy has played a huge role in this, incidentally. Smith's been excellent, up to and including playing a slip fielder to ramp up the pressure in India as they caved, and realising that Rahane was going to be relying heavily on leg-side shots because of his hand.
EDIT II: Yadav's here for a good time not a long time. :D
There are better bowlers in grade cricket than Kane Richardson for crying out loud.
Tell that to his five wickets. Wicket-maiden too. Don't see those too often at the back end of an ODI.Quote:

India :face:
Yadav's batting is a work of art. If he actually hits something, it'll be worth watching.
EDIT: Or not. Single to retain the strike. :D
EDIT: Oh Kane Richardson. What was that. This is a comedy of errors.
EDIT: Oh Matthew Wade. What was that. This is a comedy of errors.
Are India trying to get out? What is even happening? Bailey showing them how it's done by actually holding onto a catch after two drops in the previous two balls.
EDIT: If Pakistan were playing like this...
Pakistan playing like this would be a normal day at the office. It only gets Pakistani if they win it from here, and then the captain resigns.
I will say, you don't often get to describe a cricket match as hilarious, but this has been genuinely funny in many ways.
Snipers :D

Is their a way to resize images?
This goes down as one of my favourite collapses.
9 wickets for 46 runs in the end. One of the better collapses I've seen.
Wait, India lost?
:D
They shat themselves in spectacular fashion. Shit everywhere.

More details on that twat who scored 1000* the other week. Shameful shit.
:thbup:Quote:
Unlike his son, the senior Dubey insists on not having been angry with Dhanawade. “Instead I was proud that my boy bowled 23 overs against guys double his size and picked two wickets,” he says
10 year olds ffs. Why were media reporting it without checking anything?
Dropped 22 times :D
Bowlers now in counselling :(
AB now mouthing off about how England are shit and our bowlers are slow. Erm, mate...
Not had a good war, old AB.

A genuine attempt to troll the whole of India, especially the self-important knobhead Kohli, puts him right up there for me. You can even sense the deeply hidden seethe in the stoically neutral Wisden India author's words there.
I just watched the interview and he didnt say anything too outrageous for me. Probably not the best time for it mind.Quote:

The actual quote was 'One just gets the feeling that Virat Kohli wouldn't have whistled to 7,000 ODI runs like a tracer bullet'.
Oh shit, I've just rediscovered the famous Shastri Seethe, which I thought the BCCI had purged from Youtube. Never, ever gets old.

And to me, I’d much rather be 4-0 basically.
Cricinfo :D

Shastri did mention the tough schedule and injuries (one, to Mohammed Shami) as a mitigating factor.
Taylor has literally caught that with his penis.
'Bairsy' not having the best day with the gloves. I sense the looming threat of SCOREBOARD PRESSURE!
Bairstow is batting really well at the moment but he is barely justfiying wearing the gloves. That's a simple chance
Woakesy hitting the (middle of the) bat hard :drool:
Everyone's FURIOUS about Footitt not playing. Why? He's probably bang average (and definitely will be after a move to Surrey at any rate) and you can't just 'have a look at people' in Tests or you get farcical scenes like that time Kerrigan shat himself, or worse still the Sydney Test of 13/14.
Also, Woakesy is world class at all disciplines.
The PA announcer at Centurion apparently said 'And now Jimmy Anderson has the new ball in his grubby paws.'
:cab:
Shaun Marsh just took a fantastic outfield catch.

This Australia/India series should be scrubbed from the records.
In other news... http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-unde...ch/949683.html
I know it's only Namibia in a warm up game, but HERE'S JOHNNY.
Woakes also made his debut in that Kerrigan game didn't he? The start of a wonderful journey.Quote:

He did, batting six :D
Currently in Tests he has 8 wickets at 55, but I believe.
Stokes is improving with the ball every match he plays (that big booming inswinger :drool:). It means you could take more of a risk with that other bowling slot. Not necessarily Footitt, just someone a bit more interesting than bloody Woakes and his stupid FM regen face.
You could even just go CJ, for all his crap leg side alignment, and at least you gain some fucking ability to catch anything at slip.
Poor old Woakesy. High 'chance creation' from him.
What exactly is Dhoni playing at here?
:sherlock:
Can't need the money surely?
The mere mention of his name has me chuckling at Bob's amazing critique of him in that match. "Simple Simon was the pie-man today."Quote:

Which Cook is the leading run scorer in this series? Has Stephen gone past Alistair with that one innings?
Yep. 115 plays 103. Compdog ahead of AB :cool:
It's partly the pitch but we look completely toothless here. They could get 600 yet.
The Joy of Six does run-outs.

That Roger Harper one :drool:
No runout compilation can be complete without some Inzy comedy.

This De Kock innings is turning into one of those Angelo Matthews style efforts that blighted us a few years back.
