Is it an indianism?

Ben Stokes buries the ghost of Eden Gardens | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

My only thought is

do you 'bury' a ghost?

is that how that works?

If you find out, Shane Watson would like to know

 

[honestbharani]

Just imagine, our likely top 5 for the CT is..


Rohit
Dhawan
Virat
Yuvi
MSD

If we pretend the little bloke from Mumbai and his arrogant Kolkata friend did not exist, that is an AT XI top 5 for India. I know they are not all at their peaks but even then it must be disheartening for any bowling line up to face that batting line up.

 

[Daemon]

Haha India's AT ODI XI has Tendulkar, Kohli and Dhoni. That's just stupid good.

Shame about the bowling though.

 

[Furball]

Would have all 3 in my all time ODI XI as well.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Would have all 3 in my all time ODI XI as well.

Would imagine most people would. Rest of the side will contain a lot of Aussies.

He single-handedly bowled Durham, a team which stinks at Twenty20, into the T20 final last season with some devastating bowling.

He played 5 games out of the 17 Durham did. How the **** is that single-handedly bowling them into the final?

Yes, I was there for that game.

Key being that it was only one game out of a Tournament of 17 so to say he single-handedly bowled them to the final is doing the players who, you know, did all the work actually getting them there. Not to mention that it hardly answered the point made about him taking international wickets.

Although, if we're now rating all players on 1 game only then he's have a lot of competition.

 

[Shri]

No Pant yet.

KL Rahul does MMA apparently.

 

[honestbharani]

Lol.. MSD had Jaddu and Ash.. Virat now has Chahal and Rasool.. How long before Kaptain Kohli s accused of franchise bias?

 

[Burner]

Yuvraj 'I can't get out' Singh still in? India don't learn. They've a promising 19 year old sitting out to boot.

 

[Burner]

Root has a beard finally!

 

[mackembhoy]

Our national anthem is truly awful.

But what was that mumbling **** show from your lot Indian fans?

Make so much noise for everything else.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's a weird looking pitch tstl

 

[theegyptian]

Not really a fan of billings opening the batting.

 

[theegyptian]

Lol Jordan and mills. Can't get many more erratic new ball bowlers than that.

 

[honestbharani]

Is Woakes not a good T20 bowler or is he just rested from this squad?

 

[mackembhoy]

We've given away so many overthrows in the last year or 2.

Absolutely no point in throwing down the stumps so much.
