dont worry, he'll come up with a new and improved way to wriggle his way out of this one too.

Very simple - was it 250 off 50 overs?
No.
It was similar (indeed it was an even better achievement) but it wasn't what I said, was it?
It is still astonishing enough, of course, and if there are any others similar I'll be amazed.

I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong if it ever happens.
Can you honestly see it?

I can see it happening, yes - if a side gets off to a flyer then the other side will struggle to contain them.

 

[Richard]

In spite of the ability to post defensive fields and bowl extremely definsively within the bounds of legality?

 

[marc71178]

Once the momentums there, it takes a lot of stopping.

Escpecially with the recent rules brought in.

 

[Richard]

Anyone who even lets the momentum start is committing serious folly.
The raw panic of the Eng-SL 50-in-5-overs absurdity 30 months ago was crazy enough, if you've got 10 times longer than that to calm down and think, it's almost inconceivable.

 

[marc71178]

Absurdity?

Come again?

 

[Richard]

What, so you didn't find Jayasuriya's tactics absurd?
