Re: The Cricket Thread
Haha, poor Nicholls for the kiwis. Hits a nice drive which ricochets off his batting partner's bat and somehow chips it perfectly to mid-on.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Let's hope he doesn't walk off the field after 50 overs.

Re: The Cricket Thread
What's the odds that Warner will be ineffectual in this series, as he usually is in tests in Asia?
Re: The Cricket Thread
Shane Warne would be proud.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I’m hoping Khawaja continues his recent sub continent form with the bat.
It’s going to be a tough series.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Him and Smith finding his old form will be important. Don't feel convinced about Head on the subcontinent either
Re: The Cricket Thread
200 on a raging turner like this may be an above par score.

Just so you are aware there are about 15 different live scoring services online for anyone who wants Ball by ball updates. Surely you have better things to do with your time?-PJ- wrote:SRI 8-198

Steve Smith will be the first player to congratulate Uzzie for a fine knock.

Re: The Cricket Thread
These little Sri Lonkons have a batting line up with the strength of tissue paper. And it's not as if I'm that confident in ours.
