Lol the commentators are talking about a game in 1992 in which Pakistan defended 220 - completely forgetting that they did it as well last week against South Africa.

Can't believe Afridi is still playing :psyduck:

Debuted in 1996

Only because he debuted at 16. He's only two years older than MiJo, Watson and Clarke, and two years younger than Haddin.

Shane Watson "comfortable with his body" and "let himself go".

Still my favourite cricket related story ever

quote:

In a 1997 Sahara Cup match against India in Toronto, Inzamam assaulted a member of the crowd, Shiv Kumar Thind, a Canadian-based Indian, who had been comparing Inzamam to several kinds of potato over a megaphone

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

It didn't get shown on Channel 9, therefore it doesn't count.

Just fyi if you take early wickets you are more likely to win. Learnt that from keys to success.

An idea: The number of stumps the ball is hitting is how many reviews it costs. Boom finch just used 2 reviews.

Holy poo poo how do you Australians put up with these commentators on a regular basis? Their fellating of the Australian players must be making Bill Lawrie blush.
