Meanwhile, on a concrete road bed, the Aussies have reeled off two wins against Pakistan.
Finch scored back to back centuries. Always liked that g-
@NTA said in Other Cricket:
Fuck Finch. Fat bastard is a specialist Captain who takes the odd catch at this point.
Forget I spoke.
Interesting selection coming up, you have 2 openers scoring heavily recently then along comes Davey W, back from purgatory
Not too mention the crying lesbian, first time in a long time your odi side is looking actually good -

Mankading is a funny one. Despite the outrage that always comes with it, I don't have a problem with it. The non striker should keep their ground.
Interestingly, it's not the first time that Buttler has been dismissed this way. Last time he got a warning first and was then run out in an international vs Sri Lanka. I wonder if he has a reputation amongst players for trying it on too much?
This seems to indicate he was in his crease as the ball was delivered. I'm up for Mankad'ing, but I don't think it was on Buttler this time. Should have been dead ball I reckon
Edit: and sloppy batting from Buttler. Watch the bowler son

Really? I thought it was based on this

Bless you NTA for putting your thoughts on the line.
Actually I think Finchy deserves similar credit to Payne. Great turnaround for the one day team in 3 months, they're percolating nicely -

He was 7 from 21 early on, then he blew past The Waj in the 40s and carried his bat at 153 not off 143.

@nzzp I might be getting confused again but check out this: http://www.espncricinfo.com/
First photo is of last nights game and the oppo are in red
looks like a photoshop of Ashwin in Indian Blue overlaid with him in red in the background.
Video here, from 4 minutes. Fark the NZ Herald, I should know better than to trust it for factual shit

@Cyclops said in Other Cricket:
Just watched the video and that is all round awful cricket. Buttler's backing up wasn't offensive but he was caught napping big time, and Ashwin was totally cynical 'possibly premeditated.
Any mankad is premeditated - you see someone taking the piss and then set them up on the next delivery. Fuck him.

Obviously I haven't seen the previous balls, but that wasn't taking the piss when he was run out.
I'm in general pro mankad, but that's not a good example to be defending.

I haven't seen it either, but if a batsman at the bowler's end is out of his crease, to me he's fair game.

I'd compare this Mankading to McCullum running out Murali when he walked down the pitch to celebrate Sangakkara's ton despite the ball not having been returned back to the keeper by the fielder. Pretty sloppy by the batsman, but some will definitely feel the spirit has been diluted a bit . . .

Warner just got an unbeaten ton in his IPL innings. Heβs definitely come back strong.

How high did he leap in the air when he passed 100?

The final of the NZ Club One Day Cricket Championship is currently underway at Cornwall Park in Auckland.
St Albans from Christchurch were invited to bat first and made 96 in 34.3 overs.
Innovate Electrical Napier Tech Old Boys to being the chase shortly. -

Innovate Napier Tech Old Boys retain their title as the best one day cricket club in the country after they knock off the required 97 runs with more than 15 overs up their sleeves.
Meh. Current Black caps not even involved.
