    **Official** Sri Lanka in India 2014

    Wouldn't have thought Rohit Sharma would be the man to get the all-time ODI high score. I even have to honoustly admit I just learnt he had a double ton earlier in his career. In a way, his innings only gets better by getting out on the last ball.....

    *Official* Pakistan v Australia in UAE 2014

    So, Misbah now has the fastest fifty in Test Cricket. As unlikely as that may sound, it strikes me as even more unlikely the record used to belong to Jacques Kallis.

    **Official** Bangladesh in the West Indies

    lol. On a serious note: I think Chanders is more concerned about the various missed tons due to being the last surviving batsman, than about this one-in-a-million declaration to set up a Test win.

    Yeah, this is what bugs me too. His doosra being judged illegal is no surprise to me and many others. But all his deliveries? Indeed weird that any of his deliveries were ok with the former testing system and are all illegal with the new system. A pure speculative theory would be that all his...

    ***Official*** Australia/South Africa/Zimbabwe Triangular ODI Series 2014

    If 8&10 score 70 runs at a run-a-ball, it's apparently a good pitch to bat on :ph34r: .

    **Official** Bangladesh in the West Indies

    Pitch looks good to bat on, will offer turn later on..... Maybe Chris will fancy the record number of career Test Sixes. He's just two away from Gilchrist's (no surprise there) 100. I am quite surprised to learn Kallis is at three on that list.

    Really hoped for a solid Indian fight back.. Too bad.

    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    Though they indeed don't have to, they can be. If we compare Steyn and Anderson, I'm inclined to say Steyn is the most talented. IMHO, talent simply means howmany times one can, after a decent amount of practice, actually make the ball land on the spot one aims for, at he pace one intends to...

    *Official* Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2014

    When I first heared Dickwella, I was thinking Richard Weller or something like that.

    *Official* Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2014

    Was Silva going for a run out? Or what? Whatver his intention was, it was a brilliant piece of fielding!

    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    Maybe an Ishant return is the kind of upward boost India need? As of now, an Indian revival seems more unlikely than the English oen did two Tests ago.....

    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    Either one of Cook, Bell, Root & Ballance has a higher batting career average than either one of Tresco, Strauss & Thorpe though. I do realise it's not always fair to compare players of various time areas, but still. I don't think there's too much wrong with England's current batting line-up...

    Oh, don't worry! Last news is that England are looking to win in 2 days, which they consider a fair possibility, if rain stays away.

    Yeah, he was picked for his first ODI at 30 and for his first Test at 31. One might draw the conclusion the Pakistan selectors have missed a trick there. Or is there a reasonable explination?

    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    Yeah, 1-0, with a narrow escape as well in the 1st Test. I also remember Anil Kumble being the only one to ton up in a line up with Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Laxman & Dhoni.

    *Official* South Africa in Zimbabwe 2014

    I just came home and checked the score. What was Duminy/Philander low scoring rate all about? I'm normally a big fan of typical Test cricket, where batsmen wear out bowlers and wait 7 wait & wait & wait for the poor ball. But with a 50 runs lead and 4 wickets in hand, scoring 40 runs at 1,5 an...

    *Official* Pakistan in Sri Lanka 2014

    Hmmm, Misbah taking 'm on. I guess a few more runs on the board would be handy for Pakistan.

    ***Official*** India in England 2014

    So, Ian Ronald Bell thinks being 85 runs ahead with 4 wickets in hand is 'nicely balanced'?

    I had to look that up in the Preston Dictionary of Northern English. Apparently it means cloudy with an occasional shower :ph34r: .

    Sun is out, right? Wouldn't surprise me if we start rather sooner than later. I take it Old Trafford has the very very best drainage system in the world.
