Hahah did anyone see that bloke in the crowd wipe himself out trying to take a catch near the sightscreen. The ball almost hit him in the head (Heat/renegades game)

Yeah he must've thought the tarp or whatever it was covering the seats next to the sightscreen was solid so would've racked himself on those chairs pretty badly. Good stuff.

quote:Dwarshuis to Klinger, OUT, is this a wicket off a miscounted seventh ball, it's been taken a third man! Short outside off, upper cut and O'Keefe takes it very low to the ground. It's certainly carried. They check it with the third umpire and it's given out on the big screen thats just godawful umpiring

pakistan's bowling has managed to keep them in the match and all they need to do now is make like the 5th highest run chase in test history in a series where they've barely been able to score above 200 in an innings

Charles 2 of Spain posted:The Gilchrist dismissal for Harby's hattrick is my personal fave. Found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHH5Qss73WM And lol. They even referred the 3rd wicket (Warne out, caught) to the 3rd Umpire who gave it out without checking the second camera angle which showed Warne hitting the ball into the ground.

Astonishingly, more than a fifth of those wins were under Ponting. Which I guess is a combo of a strong side and the proliferation of ODI cricket in the modern era. Would be interesting to see number of wins and number of matches for all teams - though you'd suspect that Australia's wins/matches ratio would be high through their 90s/00s dominance (not to mention their strong sides of the past).

Weren’t the 90s (pre Ponting as skipper) the heyday of ODI series? I recall there’d usually be a tri series after the tests which would involve a heap of games followed by a best of three finals series.

not a big wade fan but the way the selectors keep screwing players over and making up reasons why they're not being selected must be very frustrating http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/25757277/test-snub-does-not-make-lot-sense-matthew-wade

Seams posted:not a big wade fan but the way the selectors keep screwing players over and making up reasons why they're not being selected must be very frustrating I’m usually in favour of leaving organisations like sports clubs alone do their thing because it’s highly likely that there’s a lot going on behind closed doors that the public or even the media don’t know about that affects their decision making. However we’re now at a stage where not even the state sides or players have any confidence in the selectors and the explanations provided by the selectors are completely inconsistent with decisions they’ve made in the extremely recent past. I’m starting to suspect that the selectors have got it in their heads that by dropping the Marshes they’ll be calling into question those selections for the last however many years, and as a result they’re under pressure to keep picking them in the hope they come good and the million second chances will be vindicated. I don’t know much about the situation with the talent pathways CA has set up but I wouldn’t be shocked if the selectors are under pressure to give priority to players from those systems to justify the investment CA has made. Maybe the panel is just a boys club stacked with good blokes who needed a job and a mate inside CA was able to help them out. I’m not normally a fan of wholesale changes to a body because you can lose a lot of useful institutional knowledge that way, but I think something like that is needed here because I don’t think CA can afford to lose the players’ trust in the selection panel like this.

That's hosed, it essentially means an aspiring number 5 or 6 test batsman has to agitate in his state side to bat out of position in the top 4 to justify a place batting 5 or 6 in the test side, bugger what that means for your state side's balance or harmony or the specialists 3 & 4 also trying to make their own way.

It was during the last ashes where his wife dobbed him in. Shaun will probably kill me for saying this, he has a batting superstition of not wearing sunscreen when batting," Bec revealed to the Nine Network on Sunday. ______ So yeah he’s just very dumb

Renshaw out for 7, Burns out for 4, Labuschagne out for 6 in the CA XI match. Sure would be good if players would make some runs when given a chance

It’s almost a decade since the Argus review. In that time period we have produced pretty much no test batsmen
