The Cricket Thread

I know it's a flat pitch, but hopefully this time we'll give Donald an extended run in the team. Lovely 100. I just don't get why we've offered him so few red ball opportunities since we signed him. Maybe we're concerned about picking two shot-a-ball players (Rilee being the other)?

 

Donald teeing off now.

 

I'm really looking forward to seeing him in the T20's. He's such a clean hitter of the ball.

 

You can see why he has the record fastest FC 200.

 

Brilliant hitting from Donald, but I hope it doesn't suck Holland into trying to copy it. Just continue on, Ian.

 

100 to 150 in absolutely no time

 

That's 400 in 84.1 overs.

 

Can Donald get his double ton today?

 

If he bats out the day, then there's no question. But he could get out first.

But he won't get anywhere close to his record. 123 balls was his 200 record.

 

Yeah I looked it up a few minutes ago.

 

Holland finally departs.

 

I feel dirty saying this, but come on Australia!

Smith gone, 33-2.

 

My feeling is that we've got a better chance of beating Australia at Edgbaston, than at Lords. So I've been cheering on SA all day.

 

Agreed.

 

Fair enough, that makes sense. Whoever we play, we need to win the toss and bat though!

Edit: Khawaja is a big loss for Aus too!

 

Donald.

 

****ing bastard Aussies are going to win

 

Wouldn't say that just yet.

 

Only joking

 

What a brilliant game! Well played you Saffers!
