GuerrillaMonsoon Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 That was a crazy last over. Should have been over with a no ball on the penultimate ball that wasn't called. Sri Lanka with a run-out opportunity at each end on the last ball, one at the keeper's end that missed by centimetres, and Williamson at the non-strikers end that hit, and got his bat barely in.

Pete Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Major League Cricket (US T20 league) teams have been announced: Seattle Orcas, San Francisco Unicorns, Los Angeles Knight Riders, Washington Freedom, Texas Super Kings, MI (Mumbai Indians) New York. As you can see, heavy IPL involvement which bodes well for the league in the long run. All games will be contested at the Grand Prairie Stadium (former Texas AirHogs stadium, now converted to a cricket facility) this July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 USA still has a chance to make the 50 over world cup https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/icc-cricket-world-cup-qualifier-play-off-2023-1365085/jersey-vs-united-states-of-america-13th-match-1365104/match-report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 (edited) "And this one is nearly over, as they need 29 off 6 balls" https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/65227021 31 run over. The crazier thing is that not only 29 off 6, they were 39 needed off 9. Just thinking about all the past cricketing greats, and how they're spinning in their graves right now.

DangerMark Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) The best bit was that this is all after a Rashid Khan hat trick in the 17th over, what a wild finish. Cricket greats in the stone age don't know what they're missing. Meanwhile in the County Championship only three out of the first round of eight matches went to a draw.

DangerMark Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Swann comes across on TV as being almost as much of a knob as Pietersen, so to hell with the pair of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 BBC Sport: Ireland face a final-day battle to save the second Test against Sri Lanka in Galle after the hosts declared on a mammoth 704-3 in their first innings. That left them with a 212-run lead and the tourists then lost two wickets to stand at 54-2 - still 158 runs adrift. Kusal Mendis (245) and Nishan Madushka (205) both fired double centuries with captain Dimuth Karunaratne hitting 115 and Angelo Mathews making 100 not out. Irish openers James McCollum and Peter Moor then both departed cheaply. Captain Andrew Balbirnie and Harry Tector guided the tourists to the close but the Irish know that they will have to bat well into the final day to save the contest despite having hit their country's highest runs total of 492 in their first innings. The hosts' top four batsmen all hit hundreds for only the third time in Test history. Sri Lanka won the first of the two-match Test series by an innings and 280 runs.
