I'd rather see Jongwe in this side

Oh no thanks

We bowled some right filth.

I've got a mate at the ground at the Centurian and he said the chatter is that there's going to be floodlit cricket in April? That would be good

Yes, but he shouldn’t be rewarded for his unbelievable weight gain in recent months. Hopefully he gets back in shape soon. We miss him tbh

Ha I’ve heard the same talk, this dodgy Indian-funded T10 League - if it happens then apparently they want to bring some temporary/mobile floodlights up from SA.

Evans bowling beautifully

[sloandog]

Time for Tom Cooper retire. Simply not good enough now. He was a gun 10 years ago but he's past it now

[ZIMDOGGY]

I'm going to say Williams is up there with Neil Johnson and Taylor as arguably out most talented multi format batter. He makes it look easy

Andy Flower says hello

I'm talking natural ability. Flower was a grafter and made the most of his ability by being mentally and technically sound. I don't think many here would disagree, for example, that Alistair Campbell was more naturally gifted than Flower but mentally weaker

I sorta disagree but I know what you are saying.
You’re getting caught up in aesthetic though

[Donald]

Oh clive madande. dear dear dearie me

[sloandog]

Hard luck by Clive. He's stood super close there (as you would to a 115kph bowler...) and that looked like it shot through a bit. Those aren't easy

I got dead busy with work today, couldn't catch much of the action except the strong start which Wes and Ervine provided.

271 is a good score, but the way Netherlands are going this looks bad.

I don't know guys but if we are looking at losses against the Dutch despite having a full strength squad, then this is not looking good.
