Crazy to think that used to be considered the white whale for ODI's, now Gil is the 10th player to do so.

Rohit Sharma's done it 3 times.

A good trivia question to trip people up, who was the first person to score 200 in a ODI?
Belinda Clark

Indian supporters in particular get triggered by that one as they all think it was Sachin

I looked up the list and most players I knew ... I had NFI who Fakhar Zaman was though. Apparently he made 210 four years ago.

Some Fakhar that plays for Pakistan

One of the all time great con artists. Promised a bunch of s**t she could never deliver, trashes the country and then bails well before her party gets absolutely obliterated in an election. Watch her pop up on the international speaking circuit now, reputation intact and acting like the best political leader in modern history.

You never miss a chance to put your right-wing crap into a response. No doubt you think Putin had his good points, just like Trump and his acolytes.

Enough with the Jacinda Ardern chat in the cricket thread

I’d be pissed getting given out like this

 

[DanWCE]

Maynard Hamilton was blocked

If the obstruction is not deliberate, then it has to be given. The fielding side needs to do the righty there and call her back,

Definitely out, but fielding captain should probably be withdrawing the appeal, although I can understand why against us you wouldn't.

Hopefully same thing happens to Virat at the WC later this year.

India. Has. Nukes.

 

[THE A5]

Yeah nah thats disgraceful. Cricket gods locked down on em when they were bowled for 51 tho. Luckily these girls are 19 and will learn and grown from it

 

[kane249]

India. Has. Nukes.

If it happens against Pakistan then it would really get interesting

 

[THE A5]

Maybe it's rookie tour experience, much like taking Murphy. The guys will be nets bowlers and probably won't play a test, but when they're pushing for the XI they'll have the experience and know what's expected on a tour.

He’s already been around the squad. He’s having a ripper summer but he still hasn’t player many FC games. The more games the better bot only for him but also for Australia if they need to call upon him

 

[THE A5]

Punter left Hardie and Inglis from his tournament but had Turner and our three main quicks.

Maxwell had Hardie and Inglis but his bowling was shocking. Had ncn and worse bowlers than tye, dorff and richo

 

[ashley12]

Just take 11 Matt Shorts as the team of the tournament imo

 

[Mop]

Anyone see the start of Thunder v Renegades?

Doggett and Sams doing their best Steve Harmison impersonation, 5 wides between them in the first two overs

 

[Goroyals22]

Why withdraw the appeal? The batter clearly looks to go back for a second run. The bowler is moving into position to take the ball. Unlucky yes… bad sportsmanship no

 

[ashley12]

In serious 2 minute throw in.

Short
No other opener comes close. Prob Wade as best I can think of even tho he batted a lot of 3 but in first few balls. Or Dave Warner
Lynn
Inglis
Ollie Davies
David
Hardie
J.Richardson
Abbott
Tye
Tom Rogers
Dooley

IMO.

 

[ashley12]

Replace Dooley with Rocchiccioli IMO

 

[THE A5]

Fawed spoiling the Rocc getting 3 wickets in an over. Hate him for it

 

[KBLT]

Roc is going to be another one of those players that got away from the Scorchers

 

[Truckosaurus]

Roc is going to be another one of those players that got away from the Scorchers

And yet we're still top of the table

 

[ep2018]

Scorchers top 2 confirmed now with the gades losing. Hopefully we finish top to get two finals in Perth.

They did it fantasy draft style, so they had completely different teams from each other. Don’t know why they did it that way.

 

[FKASC]

Sarfaraz averages 80 in first-class cricket, and isn't in the squad.

There’s a lot of upset Indian fans on reddit about him getting overlooked and selecting Suryakumar instead

I thought Short was D'Arcy for some reason and spent the next minute trying to figure out what exactly this team was meant to be.
