Cricket- the sport not the insect

[craig1985]

Bangladesh 4.54 at Lunch on Day 1 against Pa-kistan. And speaking of Pa-kistan, they will play an ODI against Afghanistan.

 

[ramjambunath]

Dhoni to decide about his ODI future in 2013.

I have nothing else to offer as Bangladesh are useless so here are a few names-
Uda Walawwe Mahim Bandaralage Chanaka Asanka Welegedara

Kandiah Thirugnanasampandapillai Francis (Sri Lankan umpire)

Warnakulasuriya Patabendige Ushantha Joseph Chaminda Vaas

Denagamage Proboth Mahela de Silva Jayawardene

Herath Mudiyanselage Rangana Keerthi Bandara Herath, so good that they named him twice

Narangoda Liyanaarachchilage Thisara Chirantha Perera

 

[craig1985]

This is poor bowling by Sri Lanka.

 

[ramjambunath]

If only their bowling were as good as their names were long and they'd be World Champions in every format of every sport.

Bangladesh ae fighting at 150/4

 

[craig1985]

Sri Lanka are in real trouble, 3/19 and still need another 213 runs just to make South Africa bat again. Today is a good day for Samaraweera to get his first Test century in nearly 18 months.

 

[ramjambunath]

100 for Shakib. 4/217
Sri Lanka 4/38. Who'd have thunk that Bangladesh Pakistan would be more entertaining than SL SAf

Denagamage Proboth Mahela de Silva Jayawardene fell one short of his 10000th test run.

Nafees falls for 97 after Bangladesh opt for an extra half hour to help him get his hundred. Great innings. 5/223

Bangladesh on course for their ultimate target to usurp England as the top test team.

Looks like Sydney Thunder will do it easy tonight with Warner on 86.

Poor crowd at the game with only 23,000. Most likely because there is simply way too much cricket locally and interanationally.

EDIT: Sydney Thunder have beaten Melbourne Stars. Warner 102 not out.

 

[craig1985]

You mean Sydney Thunder

Philander is loving Test cricket so far. If he keeps this up, New Zealand will be lucky to make 200 each time when he tours New Zealand next year.

if he keeps bowling the way he is anyone will struggle.

 

[craig1985]

Philander's FC bowling average is 19!

 

[greenedge]

Philander is one of the best players i have ever seen. He is also usurping Steyn who took 4 wickets. Morkel builds up the pressure whilst they take the wickets. Rudolph is now scoring consistently which is good.

Warner was great in the BBL whilst i loved how the Strikers dismissed the Renegades.

Warney shows how much of a cricketing genius he is

Mckay bowled well for the stars and Holland took 6 wickets in the game against India.

Australia's 13 man squad for the Test against India on Boxing Day:

Michael Clarke (capt), Ed Cowan, David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Michael Hussey, Daniel Christian, Brad Haddin, Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Ben Hilfenhaus, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon

 

[greenedge]

Yes. I would love to see Cowan in the team. I would also like Hilfenhaus over Starc. No Dan Christian for me. I would rest Shaun Marsh for just one more game as they have to think long term for him. Is it that hard to keep Khawaja in.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Looking forward to Boxing Day though play may start a bit late with morning showers. Australia's weakness is their batting and India's is their bowling so it should be a good match up.

Looking forward to seeing Very Very Special Laxman!

 

[ramjambunath]

Merry Christmas y'all.

Nice to see MILFenhaus back in the team and Fuse dropped. Hopefully bog can put some pressure on the thunderqunt that ponting's becoming for the team.

See you in a few days.

 

[greenedge]

I predict Tendulkar to get his 100th international hundred in 4 innings.

 

[Ferminal]

Brave move by Clarke to bat, taking last year's demons head on.

 

[craig1985]

Not only does this Indian bowling line-up looks ordinary, Ian Healy is even more ordinary as a commentator. If there is ever a job for life, it is working for Ch 9.

 

[Ferminal]

Wow, common sense in cricket, going off for rain but just standing around whilst the shower passes. Back on 5 mins later.

...and Warner goes immediately.

Ye of little faith as Yadav gets Marsh out for a duck.

 

[craig1985]

Ponting is looking good.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Ponting is looking good.

Not anymore
