Always believed Sri Lanka would win it, they have the best bowlers and best batsmen Laughing

SA cricket team are the the biggest underachievers in professional sport. Period.

Aussies get humiliated by Pakistan..

And Misbah at age 40 gets the fastest Test Fifty....

by El Gunner Tue Nov 18, 2014 4:18 pm

Who's watching the Aus - SA ODI series thats going on atm??
Australia won the first match, but then got bowled of the field by Morne Morkel in the second.

Thrid match in a five match series is tomorrow.

Oh, and Michael Clarke is injured again. Dat darn hamstring again. He is so good, that takes no convincing, just take a look a few years back when he won cricketer of the year. He was in unbelievable form.
He needs to get back first of all, and then get a few matches under his belt to get back into form because without their best player I don't see Australia winning the world cup next year. Might also struggle in the next Ashes.

How do you rate the chances of Pakistan on Australian or English soils now. Pak have really grown over the years. Teaching the other subcontinent teams how its done. :bow:

And you guys have lot of new young exciting players too right. Really sad to see the lack of opportunities for them but considering the low number of games pak play these days.

And here we have India, a joke of a team who only cares about winning in India and basks in glory whenever it does that, plays shitload of games like machines and a cricketing body whose sole motive is to churn money from whichever way possible and some chiefs who are fooling the entire country. that contrast. :facepalm:

Australia 2-1
Gave SA 330 to chase, for a time when de Villiers and Amla were at the crease it looked like they would get there, but Australia struck in quick succession and got them both out. That was basically the match as SA's tail suck ass.

Australia sealed the series today chasing down a total of 267.
Steve Smith had a man of the match performance again. Got a hundred, brilliant knock from him as Australia were in all sorts of trouble when he and Matthew Wade came to the crease, but they settled down the innings and got Australia firmly back into the game. James Faulkner came in at the end and finished off the match with a great knock of his own.
Don't know why he gets left out of the ODI and T20 sides sometimes. He should be one of the first names on those teams in my opinion. His performances at the death, bowling and batting, is amazing.
One more match on Sunday.

Just crazy. Honestly thought he'd pull through. So devastated for Hughes' friends and family and the Australian cricket team. I don't know how they can even think about playing India.

RIP.

Rest in Peace, the game has lost a great player.

by mr-r34 Thu Nov 27, 2014 10:04 am

So bloody devastated with the news, don't think i'd ever go out to the crease again without a helmet.

Feel so bad for Abbott, poor bloke is going to have a tough time, hopefully this doesn't ruin another career.

by El Gunner Thu Nov 27, 2014 10:06 am

Yeah. I hope this doesn't affect Sean Abbott. A very good young talent he is.

by Glory Thu Nov 27, 2014 6:23 pm

Inevitable happened. Still shocked and saddened by it though. Rest In Peace.
And thoughts are with the family + Abbott. Hope they overcome the grief.

As a matter of fact, its great for Indian cricket.
He was dragging the team down, his record in test cricket is abysmal, both as a batsman and a captain. India lost something like 13 of the last 15 test matches played oversees. High time he bowed out and freed us of the sorry sight. Such a negative, cautious captain in tests at least, who simply inherited the team greats such as Ganguly and Dravid created.
In shorter formats though, its a different story.
