Re: The Cricket Thread
Australia 371/6 v South Africa 372/6 (49.2/50 ov)
South Africa won by 4 wickets (with 4 balls remaining)
3-0 so far, with two games to go. Maybe a whitewash is on the cards.
"David Miller's third ODI hundred helped South Africa pull off the second-highest chase of all time and seal the series against Australia with two matches to spare. Miller has chosen not to play his domestic cricket at the Durban-based Dolphins this summer but thrilled his former home crowd during the highest successful chase at Kingsmead with a heroic knock that will become the stuff of legend."

Re: The Cricket Thread
I think the upcoming SA tour will be very spicy, looking forward to it despite the lack of AB. Day/Night test at the Gabba vs Pakistan too, I hope that's more competitive than it promises.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Looks like a great place to watch some cricket, got to be better than the concrete sweat box that is The Gabba. I tried to get some guys to do a road trip for the last Ashes but it didn't plan out.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Definition: Choking = Team chasing and losing the match (ODIs only).
1st table from 1991-present (S.A. re-admission). 2nd table from 1971-present.
Australia are the least chokers, S.A. second least. All other teams choke more than those two.

Re: The Cricket Thread
The stadium looks a cracker and the night thing seemed to work well last year. Looking forward to it.

I'm not really a fan of ODI cricket but did enjoy the look of despair on the normally smug/arrogant/scowling mug of that knob jockey Smith
Australia's first ever 5-0 whitewash too

Re: The Cricket Thread
I'm no fan of England and knock the shit out of them on here but f**k me, Bangladesh deserved that
I watched the end on a dodgy live stream on kodi - well worth the effort
All 10 wicket for 60-odd runs after tea - outstanding
Considering that Bangladesh took England close in the 1st test and how young and inexperienced they are, they can take a lot from this tour. I know sub-continent pitches can be difficult but England looked so ordinary
Well done the Bangla boys!
Also credit to England for showing Bangladesh some respect by sending a full 1st team and not a 2nd string lash-up

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yep, well deserved from Bangladesh. The upcoming tour of India is going to be tough. Some good signs from England for the emerging players though.
I hope SA kick some Aussie butt btw ...

Re: The Cricket Thread
As for SA, we'll see. Steyn is looking good again and Rabada is definitely a rising talent but we'll miss AB. I think Smith and Warner are carrying the Australian batting and getting them early will be important
I'm going on Thursday - can't wait!
