Both got some big double hundreds so must have been one of them

[Mr Winter]

Unverified but how is this for banter between the 2 old foes.

 

Thought it was really cool banter!!

I think it's fair to say the aussies won this round

[Joeboy69]

India chose to bat.

8/1 and 8/2 and 8/3 and 8/4 ...

[Skubarra]

I think it's fair to say the aussies won this round

Well played cricket australia. but the fact remains that they won it without a baggy green walking onto a field. and lost it just as quickly. if pakistan can be a good pakistan this summer, ryan harris' knee eventually dies and/or mitch johnson loses a bit of his mojo then it's goodbye for a long time for them.

 

And i say a good long time, because our A (effectively B/2nd) sides are playing an unofficial test match somewhere in the middle of the aus desert.

 

We are moering them, specifically, Rilee Rossouw and Themba Bavuma are moering them.

Got them all out for 239(nice one Marchant!), and then had a whoopsie at 59/4 in the reply.

They've taken it on to 342/4 at a fair wallop.

Unfortunately for him he was a South African.

 

statsguru is your friend, there have been 7801 opening partnerships.

of course stats only tell a bit of the story, one of his greatest innings was when he batted #11, and a certain left handed morkel replaced him at the top of the order. That's stuff of LEGEND!

So true, the Aussies are an old team and probably at the peak of their powers, which, is still not quite at the level we have performed over the last few years. SA'A' looking very strong! Bodes well for the Proteas

[deanbean]

The Vern is asking questions of the Zim openers. Wicket Steyn 0-1

[deanbean]

What's the Zim bowling attack like? It's been years since I've watched them.

[Shebeen]

Piedt repays the selectors with a wicket first ball. joins a very short short list.

i wouldn't be too worried, turns out ABdV is the only guy who's played zim before too.

[milky4130]

Did you guys check this?

3 consecutive short balls, 2 get hooked for 6's the 3rd?

[milky4130]

Show some respect Broado!!!

['Dale]

Somehow through the visor

Ow!

And Eng toppled the Indian batters like a house of cards in a gust
