Re: The Cricket Thread

That's an odd statement. It's the same bowlers who were the best attack in the world mere months ago. Same conditions, same grounds. By multiple measures (wickets, average, economy rate), they're...

Re: The Cricket Thread

Strike rates are only one measure of performance. A series where both teams are digging in will result in poor strike rates, even if averages aren't really bad - and they aren't. Cummins and...

Re: The Cricket Thread

It's the exact same bowlers who combined to win the Ashes 4-0 this time last year. They aren't spraying extras galore. The scoring rate is 2.5-3 rpo all series. The wicket takers list so far reads,...

Re: The Cricket Thread

An immensely satisfying win for India. It was great to beat SA on a scary pitch like that. We also took all 60 wickets over the series, another first for us. In fact, this is the first time ever that...

Re: The Cricket Thread

What's the chatter on the Joburg pitch in the Saffer papers ? The Indian press is of the opinion that it's a dangerous minefield, but our teams clawed on courageously in the third innings to set...

Re: The Cricket Thread
