We Love Cricket Thread 2nd Innings

you still following this Test G

I watched a bit this morning amazing Run Out by Steyn & he also bowled a peach to clean up .

Gonna be interesting , can't see SA being as bad this time round but Ajmal will be dangerous who 's your ( virtual ) money on ?
 
Saffas cant win. Unless Pak are all out for 106 in the 4th. :| You'd have to bet on Pakistan.

Wait, did I just say that?
 
Btw (cricket thread, home of the double post because Mods don't enter here) I reckon Bangladesh are coming through at last. Drew with NZ this week, bloke called Sohag Gazi got a century and a hat-trick and they've got a solid no3/4 batsmen called Mominul Haque, got a big century, only 23 years old.
 
Yeah i saw that funny OTW didn't mention it ;)

It's all pretty open Zimbabwe beat Pakistan the other week as well . They have a left armer Brian Vitori got a 5fr he looks good by all accts .
 
WTF is the point of 2 match Test Series ?

Take this Pak / Saffa one if the Saffa's win the next one then it's just fukin daft .

Paki's going for a 10 wicket win as i type

Hey last time we were there we lost 4-0 so a draw is showing we are on the up.

I am trying to convince the little lady the cultural and historical worth of watching the 1st ashes test from a corporate box. Apparently $800 is better spent on the starving kids in Africa or something but I think 3 course meal in air conditioned comfort whilst doing blow from my padded seat is what those little kids would want. They would probably be denied entry what with all those blow flies buzzing off them.
 
Paki's 60/6 @ lunch Tahir 3fr so far one was a pukker wrong un btw . Steyn 2 n looking good .


Dunno how paki's spinners Ajmal n co will go on this surface .
 
Wisden Cricketers' Almanack Test XI for it's 150th Anniversary.
1. Jack Hobbs (England, Wisden Cricketer of the Year 1909) 61 Tests, 5,410 runs at 56.94
2. W. G. Grace (England, CY 1896) 22 Tests, 1,098 runs at 32.29
3. Don Bradman (Australia, CY 1931, capt) 52 Tests, 6,996 runs at 99.94)
4. Sachin Tendulkar (India, CY 1997) 198 Tests, 15,837 runs at 53.86
5. Vivian Richards (West Indies, CY 1977) 121 Tests, 8,540 runs at 50.23
6. Garry Sobers (West Indies, CY 1964) 93 Tests, 8,032 runs at 57.78, 235 wickets at 34.03
7. Alan Knott (England, CY 1970, wkt) 95 Tests, 4,389 runs at 32.75, 250 catches, 19 stumpings
8. Wasim Akram (Pakistan, CY 1993) 104 Tests, 414 wickets at 23.62
9. Shane Warne (Australia, CY 1994) 145 Tests, 708 wickets at 25.41
10. Malcolm Marshall (West Indies, CY 1983) 81 Tests, 376 wickets at 20.94
11. Sydney Barnes (England, CY 1910) 27 Tests, 189 wickets at 16.43.

Tough call leaving out players like Lara, Gordon Greenidge or Imran Khan. Even Kallis would be a handy choice for the allrounder but Sobers was pretty supreme even in weaker West Indies sides. I would have picked Ambrose ahead of Marshall. I don't know much about Barnes but he averages 16 so I'd probably bowl him into the wind and send him to short mid wicket if he complained. How the fuck Knott got picked ahead of Gilchrist I'll never know.
