SirFozzie Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Hate to see a game curtailed due to an unsafe pitch, but player safety has to be paramount, especially with recent history. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/67674482 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted January 5 Author Share Posted January 5 They shouldn't let the Pakistani top order get on the plane home. they needed a huge rescue job in the first innings, and are currently 67/7 in the second. Then again, it just may be seasonal allergies, as India and South Africa only needed 4 and a third sessions to lose 33 wickets (India winning by seven wickets). Watch the head honchos at ICC think this is the best thing ever. TWO DAY TESTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMark Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 If I were a Cricket administrator, I might try and do something to stop players leaving franchise leagues just before the play-offs begin. Were I an actual fan of the Brisbane Heat, I might be somewhat chapped that they lose their two top run scorers and then find it difficult to score more than 120 runs in a finals match.

The Natural Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 BBC Sport: England produced one of their best ever away wins, stunning India with a 28-run victory in a heart-stopping finish to the first Test in Hyderabad. Inspired by one of the all-time great innings by Ollie Pope and a beguiling 7-62 from debutant spinner Tom Hartley, England set India 231 to win, then hustled the hosts out for 202 in the final over of the extra half-hour at the end of the fourth day. Beating a team that had lost only three of their previous 46 home Tests is remarkable in itself, but England did it with a vastly inexperienced attack and with senior spinner Jack Leach hampered by injury. England recovered from a first-innings deficit of 190 - only twice before in Test history have they overturned such a margin to win. India have never before lost a home Test when taking a lead in excess of 100. After England began on 316-6, Pope pushed on to 196, the highest second-innings score ever made by an England batter in India. The tourists were bowled out for 420 on the stroke of lunch. The target should have been within India's reach, even on the wearing pitch, but the hosts buckled. England were led by the brilliant Hartley, who also made 34 with the bat. A collapse of 4-24 ripped the guts out of the India middle order and reduced the home supporters to an eerie silence. With India on the brink, KS Bharat and Ravichandran Ashwin combined for a rearguard partnership of 78 that made the crowd believe again. India had the momentum, only for Hartley to bowl Bharat with a beauty. The extra time was allowed, the shadows closed in. Ashwin danced past Hartley to be stumped, but still India were not beaten. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj swiped 25 for the final wicket before Siraj was stumped off Hartley to spark wild England celebrations. --- Amazing!

SirFozzie Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 yeah, I was going to post my usual "Ha! England in shambles" stuff after the first innings, but England just were apparently made of sterner stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMark Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 This is what you would have got for judging a five (well, four) day game after the first. In other cricket news, Shamar Joseph could retire tomorrow and still be one of the true legends of West Indian cricket after only two tests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 New record for high batsman score at Lord's.. 335 not out in a county championship game. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/68749184 I always thought that if someone is on an innings like this, they should let them bat as long as they want, with the innings declared afterwards, and time added on to make up for the time lost. what could they have got? 500?

DangerMark Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Update on the county championship: all but one match reached 1000 combined runs, and the one that didn't hit 905. No results in round two, one won match out of eighteen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted 5 hours ago Author Share Posted 5 hours ago From women's cricket , the indonesian teenager Rohmalia Rohmalia had a good game in the fifth t20I vs Mongolia .. 3.2 overs, 7-0. That is, if you're using the Australian scoring nomenclature: That's right.. she bowled 3.2 overs, didn't give up a run, and got 7 wickets. Most bowlers couldn't get seven wickets in 19 balls if they were bowling without a batsman.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
