Those claims of 15 or 16 year old Pakistani cricketers always have to be taken with a large dose riiiiight...

how in the fuck does David Warner win the Alan Border Medal over loose bus change?
Surely you need mental fortitude to win the Alan Border Medal? Blubbing on TV like a retard should automatically disqualify you.

Because he's a Marnus and his eyes are too close together?
Can't think of any other reason

Given that it is Warner that you are talking about the "like a" wasn't really necessary.
Heh Heh! England caught the whoopsies!
a cracker of a game in SA. Ngidi the hero, and we're not the only ones struggling at the back end of T20!
with seven balls to go, England needed seven to win with Morgan having hammered 14 runs from the previous three balls and still on strike. But holing out that ball, it gave South Africa the glimmer of hope they required with Ngidi on the tools and he did not disappoint.
also wanted to note the Aussie Women beat the Indians int he final last night NZT. Was a good game - India absolutely choked it at the end, threw away wickets and imploded.
They needed 41 off 35 with 7 wickets in hand, and were all out losing 7 for 30 or so. Epic choke.
I like cricket, and quite happy to watch women's cricket. As more sides build quality, it also means twice as much cricket to watch!
Auckland v Otago in the final of the Ford Trophy on now.
Looks like two OTago batsmen have retired with concussion and been replaced. Otago 114/2 after 18.4 overs, on skyp sport 2
Munro scores a century off 58 or so balls; match winning innings. Auckland need 140 off 30; should be a walk from here. Well played lad
Otago have kept it interesting by picking up a few wickets but Munro has destroyed run rate pressure so otago will need to bowl them out to win.
Very nice innings from Chapman to see them home. Good to see some form from him, hopefully a bit more batting depth.
Really unfortunate for Otago that two batsmen had to retire hurt. First Rutherford after being sconed, and he was going great guns too, then Foxcroft who was also going along nicely but got absolutely nailed in a classic SBW shoulder charge. The latter returned but the two retirements hurt Otago, cost them runs and possibly the game.
This incident also begs the question of whether your 12th man should be able to contribute with both bat and ball, or possibly should they simply be a batsman given you're most likely to lose a batter. Of course, the injured batsman may actually be a bowler, hence perhaps having an AR as 12th man. Then if you lose two permanently (extremely rare, yes, but almost happened today) should there actually be two players available to step in?

Presumably to the concussion laws, rather than to injury?
