Roy is such a loopy bastard. Love him.

Would you agree with not playing Rabada?
Roy taking the absolute piss here. I'd say KPesque but that's probably lazy.
Yeah. It's one of the more meaningless matches they have between November and say April, and they don't want to bowl him into the ground.
Despite the facial and tattoo similarities he's more like a classier Afridi or some other nutbag. Never seen him bat in any other gear. Frustrating as hell when Surrey are 41 for 4 and he drags on trying to hit some wiley cunt like Alan Richardson over the North Sea, but it's worth it.Originally Posted by Max Power
As if by magic...
Good knock in the context though. Plenty of batting to come and none of them are plodders. Good start.
If he did that every game he'd be doing his job. Root arrives with 42 overs to bat and 70 on the board, yes please.
This side is almost perfect. 6 proper bowlers!
Buttler sent up to 4
Oh shit. Have we put Zdenek Zeman in charge?
400 is well on.
This is like hard drugs, but I'm not sure if me or the team have taken them.
8/1 for the World T20 is worth a tickle surely? It'll be this team probably.
With Adil in tow it's a no brainer. We are in the weaker group as well.
Check out our brand of cricket.
Collapse is on!
Ok maybe not. Duminy must sort his bowling out. That shit twirl he does is horrible.
My word. The size of that six from Mo
I only have cricinfo but it describes him as having 'swung to leg like a drunken pirate'.
I have a decent stream, if you want it.
This is an onslaught
I'm in the office so streams are no good, it's all or nothing. Much like England in ODIs now.
Ah, finally, the collapse. Too late though, by a long distance. We will struggle to chase this, our bowlers has been shit. It looks like a flat track, but I think the bowling as been worse than the batting can be good. Unless AB pulls out a rabbit.
Saffers to wrap it up in the 43rd over.
They're not getting 300, never mind 400.
Jordan really is fucking useless.
There's a massive technical issue with his alignment which means he can't really adjust if someone gets stuck into him without it going wide down the leg side. Before his injuries the action was much more natural.
Love the varied reactions of those kids to that Stokes catch. Shame about the weather could be a good chase otherwise
No one mentioning that NZ have crushed Australia again at Eden Park, this time by 159 runs (as opposed to 1 wicket last time...).
DIdn't even realise New Zealand and Australia were playing an ODI series tbh. That is a right shoeing though, the reply lasting just 24 overs!
I think it can be filed under being prepared to lose, to win.

Saqi against currently active players
Pakistan Super League currently on Sky 792, for anyone who likes watching cricket streamed from the 1970s. KP, Billings, Watto and Misbah among the stars on show. Zulfiqar Babar just turned one about three yards past Twatto's edge.
Alan Wilkins has just said 'If you're in a crisis, Dial M for Misbah'. I'm not sure if that's the best or worst sentence ever spoken.
He's superb. Not sure where he fits into the current Test team though. Maybe Taylor up to three and him five if you didn't mind losing the Compdog.
The 19s quarter-finals have started and much fancied hosts Bangladesh are currently in severe danger of shitting the bed against surprise package Nepal. 104/4 chasing 212 and have 20 overs left.
We play Sri Lanka I think tomorrow.
Saw an interview with one of our lot on SSN today (Dan Lawrence?) and in response to "how far do you think you can go in this?" his answer wasn't the "we're just taking one game at a time" media trained dogma. No, no. He went with, "we think win can win the tournament comfortably".
Hopefully they can follow through.
They looked a bit becalmed against spin in one of their games that I saw which will be an issue against the better teams. That said, they are the sort of team that you want to get behind because they come in testicles swinging and just back themselves. Curran's lbw appeals are a highlight, steaming off into Broadville without a glance back at the umpire.
Lawrence is as nailed on an England top order bat as I've seen for a long time.
Good catch from Jordan, that. Still bowling shit, as per normal though.
Oh, bit of a Saffer collapse here.
I'd include Jordan in the side if we have six bowlers just because his world class catch rate is a wicket taking option in itself and he biffs down the order. And also he occasionally bowls well. For example if we don't get de Villiers there, we could be looking at a total 80 more than what we will be chasing.
That last one was a wank call, never touched it.
How did Watto end up going for more than Pietersen and Buttler combined (and then some) in the IPL auction thing?
We should shoe these to death here unless Rabada goes mad and runs through us again.
All the Aussies are laughably overpriced. Probably because they just panned India.
He did pretty well in the Big Bash. He's rather taken to the T20 format. His bowling seems to be effective enough in the format, too. Double threat. Well, one-and-two-thirds.
We got rolled in the T20s, to the consternation of precisely nobody.
Some values of overseas players. This is for new players, not retained ones who seem to be universally cheaper, so it's comparing like for like.
Shane Watson 950 Indian confusing units of measurement
Chris Morris 700
Mitchell Marsh 480
Carlos Brathwaite 420
Jos Buttler 380
Kevin Pietersen 350
Dale Steyn 230
Mustafizur Rahman 140
Aaron Finch 100 (!!!)
Marcus Stoinis 50
Sam Billings 30
I reckon Watson is literally the worst of the batsman on that list. No idea what they're smoking.
De Kwatto.
There has been some right bollocks umpiring in this game, from all three of the umpires. Tahir is absolutely seething.
Stokes to now go on and smash a quickfire 50.
Or not.
He looked shambolic for the duration of that.
