Ponting retires from international Twenty20s, undermines dignity by namechecking club sides:
"While I will no longer be available for Australian Twenty20 cricket, I look forward to playing with Tasmania's KFC Big Bash team where possible and to fulfilling my contract with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League."

ODIs is the only type of Cricket that matters.
They don't call it ODI Match Special.

Got to love those Tasmanian KFC Big Bash guys, good on you Punter.

If KBP were awake, he'd tell you that KFC Big Bash is the pinnacle of Australian culture

Nah, it's beer snakes during an ODI match.
Good night!

Why does Shah get anywhere near any England squads? He's the worst player ever to play for England in recent times. Cant believe there was actual morons who campaigned for him to get a chance. He's fucking useless.

Cameron White should stay in at No. 3 btw. Ricky can have the rest of the tour off.

If Sachin Tendulkar scores 200 runs in an ODI and Louis is not around, does it make a sound?

He's the man, but I'd dispute the Beeb's assertion that he's the finest batsman to have played the game.
― Neil S, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 13:53 (fourteen years ago) link
was going to bump this thread actually, and echo neil's sentiments

Agreed. Not really suggesting him as an alternative, but I saw some footage of Archie Jackson last year - Scottish born Australian batsman, contemporary with Bradman. Died v young of tuberculosis.
Not only was extraordinarily graceful and athletic, lithe almost, but he looked completely different to every other batsman for the reason, easy to discern to the modern eye, that he looked, to the degree that this is commensurate with grace/athleticism etc, looked like a batsman of today.
Extraordinary to watch and curiously moving.

IPL is live on ITV4 this year...interesting

In this warm-up game instead of the conventional method of trying to bowl Bangladesh out so they can bat again, England have gone the other route and tried to give them as many runs as possible to encourage them to declare so we can bat again. Isn't this, ah, rather an interesting take on competitive sport? I mean, I know these warm-up games are often just contrived ways of giving a side match practice but 111 off 5 overs for Cook (bowling this is)? 78 off 4 for Carberry? What the hell kind of practice is this anyway?
― 'virgin' should be 'wizard' (GamalielRatsey), Tuesday, 9 March 2010 07:54 (fourteen years ago) link
it's only a warm-up game
― inertia of movement gave it the goal parabola (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 9 March 2010 10:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, maybe, still pretty shoddy I think. Bit patronising to Bangladesh as well, several Test players in there and it's a warm up game for them as well.
― 'virgin' should be 'wizard' (GamalielRatsey), Tuesday, 9 March 2010 10:23 (fourteen years ago) link
i gotta say, my problem with it is minimal, although maybe some of the stronger nations wouldn't have resorted to such tactics...cook is a new captain
good game for tredwell and trott, not to mention raqibul, who i'd written off
― inertia of movement gave it the goal parabola (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 9 March 2010 10:34 (fourteen years ago) link
Fair enough. Not worried about KP either, he usually rises to big occasions and has occasionally failed to rise to smaller ones. Tho he might well be concerned i suppose.

What did these guys actually do? The quotes makes it sound most heinous: "For the shameful act of Shahid Afridi, which has brought the game and country into disrepute, he be fined Rs3m", etc.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 10 March 2010 10:10 (fourteen years ago) link
its sad, he tried to eat the ball :(
― inertia of movement gave it the goal parabola (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 10 March 2010 10:10 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah he tampered with the ball - poor form but it happens, but openly chewing on the ball is a bit much!
if the PCB have a spine they should also ban inzamam ul-haq from holding any position there - he's been doing a fair bit of the destabilising himself with a view to getting the coaching job, apparently

Glad we got Tamin out (he was dropped twice) but that was a brilliant knock. I think the pressure of trying to become only the 5th batsman ever to get a century before lunch got to him. Well done Tredwell getting his 1st wicket.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 20 March 2010 05:05 (fourteen years ago) link
Would have liked to have seen him getting his century tbh. Especially since the decision looked a bit dodgy.

interesting day's play. sadly for bangladesh i fear their bowlers will once more be shown up horrendously
