@bovidae Goodness, that's a massive percentage of the total in a one day game. Did he take a walking single off the last ball of ever over to hog the strike?
He did face about half of the total balls bowled, allowing for the 11 wide deliveries and no ball.

An interesting scorecard for Pakistan in ODI 2 against SA overnight. Pakistan lost by 17 runs chasing 342, but Fakhar Zaman gets 193 of their 324 runs (off 155 balls). Their next highest scorer got 31 with the ever dependable extras on 25.
I see South Africa wore pink last night, after both teams wore the same uniform the previous game.

There is a five run penalty if dekock pretends to receive the ball at his stumps and it goes no where near them. But don't know about this situation. I suggest you keep playing till the ball is dead but the ludicrous "spirit of cricket" might run interference to that logic.

@booboo breast cancer day was always designated for this game. I do wonder about the importance of different uniforms when the sport was founded with one uniform for all teams. Basically if you insist on different uniforms you're the dumbest person you know🙂

Didn't know about the breast cancer thing.
Care to explain your last sentence?
Am wondering if the people who organise uniforms and do the publicity shots may be dumberer.

@booboo the article you posted focussing on a uniform clash that has no effect on the sport or how the game is played. Dumb. If you need cricket teams in different uniforms to experience a game, you're dumb.
Can't say I agree.
Why have colours at all then? Just play in whites?
Whilst it has no effect on the play it adds to the spectacle. Pretty damn dumb to have two teams turn out in exactly the same colours.

Test cricket must be terribly confusing for you...

@booboo Pink is where it's at, and I assume it started with McGrath. ND have been wearing that colour shirt for over a decade.
Pink = breast cancer
I saw a Gruen Tranfer episode (do you get that in NZ? It's a show by and about advertising execs discussing the tricks of the trade) a few years ago about the pink branding, and just how powerful a brand it is,, and how jealously it's guarded, and how much money it makes specifically for breast cancer (no other cancers, just breast cancer). So should have realised it's significance. Dumb.

This is the type of thing that starts bar fights.

Oh stop your posturing nonsense. If you want to talk about sports marketing then fill your boots.
The fact is that the game of cricket is not hampered by uniform colour and your bleating about what effects you doesn't necessitate anything. You're the one arguing irrelevant minutae. -

Pink = breast cancer
As I said, the use of pink started in cricket with the McGrath Foundation in 2002.
In 2009, the Northern Districts Cricket Association announced plans to put its T20 team into pink shirts as a breast cancer awareness attention-grabber. -

You ok? Bad day? Looking for an argument where there isn't one?
I would request you haul in the personal abuse (hence my obliquely 'humorous' reference to the pub rule), and refrain from making up stuff people say.

@booboo 1 sentence to you to inform about pink game, then a slightly inflammatory sentence about the dumb people in the article you posted, you know the one where the ICC has not commented about similar uniforms, despite a ridiculous criticism of uniform manufacturers. Even put a smiley face in there for context.
Emojis portray humour, or you can bang a dumb drum then double down by inferring violence for pointing out that most cricket in the world has always been played in white.
Led Zep 2, communication breakdown, all because a reader can't see that you are being obliquely humorous.
I don't know what to make of this sentence: "Pretty damn dumb to have two teams turn out in exactly the same colours."🤔
But carry on with the lecture and your "request"😀
