The Cricket Thread

235 all out. Now come on, get a couple tonight.

 

I know he hit that one 6, but that was all very strange from Fuller. He batted those few overs like he was trying to save the game with Fidel at the other end, rather than trying to add as many as possible until one of them fell.

 

Yorkshire doing my pet hate of sending out both openers for a tiny session. You know that if they lose a wicket first ball, it's 99% likely that a nighwatchman will come out. So why not just open with one?

 

West Indies thrashed NZ by 91 runs in their warmup game.

 

Hampshire's nemesis, Gary Ballance, reverting to type after his 1st innings blip.

 

So much hype about the England team - you know what's going to happen don't you?

 

Seems so! 1-1. Pellegrino scoring cricket!

 

England 311-8
Not a massive target....I would back England to score that in a run chase. Don't know enough about SA to guess how they'll do. Would have liked another 20-30.

 

Hampshire have to get 279 off 48 overs

 

How could anyone ever have had any doubts about playing Joffra Archer in the World Cup?

 

Hampshire 3 down at tea!

 

A draw would suit Somerset nicely!

 

South Africa only 2 wickets down and not far off the pace...need to take some wickets and get further down their order.
And my magic worked...de Kock gone for 68

SA 129-3

 

142-4 Duminy caught.

Need Van der Dussen out now!

 

144-5 Pretorius run out, smart work.

 

167-6 Another for Archer

van der Dussan

Amla back on after check for concussion.

 

That’s a brilliant wicket maiden for Archer.

 

What a catch from Stokes

 

Unbelievable, as Nasser said, you cannot do that!
