The Cricket thread

Can we not just swarm him?

[AZOffaly]

Bowl underarm like ten pin bowling. Or else bean him like a baseball pitcher.

[deiseach]

Maybe we'll be all right. He might be more respectful to bowlers who are not blick.

I'll get my coat...

[AZOffaly]

Ooooh. You went there.

De Villiers played a few games for Carrick one summer at the start of his career, and scored 2 double centuries in 2 weeks.

[AZOffaly]

He's eligible for us, is that what your saying?

[magpie seanie]

We're playing them in Canberra....where Chris Gayle hit 215 against Zimbabwe. Oh.

As kind of expected SA made an absolutely huge 411-4, we will do well to get within 150 of that total I fear..

No one better at a chase, eh?

*checks score*

Hmm. 51-5. Not today.

These lads are different gravy in fairness.  India will be a similar story I think, but those two were always going to be like that.

[magpie seanie]

Yeah - we didn't do too bad. SA/Ind/NZ and Aus are way ahead of everyone else so no disgrace. We did marginally better than WI did against them.

Must win against Zimbabwe. Bed early Friday and up for 3:30am!

[deiseach]

It was a decent rearguard action in the end. SA's batting is hotter than Hades.

[Gabriel_Hurl]

Ireland make 331-8 in their innings with great knocks by Joyce and Balbirnie.

Unlucky for Balbirnie not to join Joyce with his century.

Let's see how they can do defending a score of 300+ rather than chasing it.

[AZOffaly]

f**king Pakistan just beat South Africa. That changes things!

[ONeill]

Slow and steady from Zimbabwe.
