5th ODI: Australia v Pakistan at Adelaide on Jan 26, 2017

And that's why it's so hard to get the double. Fantastic knock but when he started cramping, struggling physically it was just a matter of whether or not Pakistan would help him out with more derps.

To everyone's surprise, they didn't.

Shows how good the effort of rohit sharma for his 264 in sweltering India was, road or not.

Hanscome shunted down the order again.

Sharma did things in that knock that shouldn't be physically possible. Yeah it was a road but my god did he play an innings....

I wonder if one dayers could be made interesting again by having 4 "innings" of 25 overs each. Not innings in the test match sense but you pick up on your second innings where you left off(example 3 for, or 5 for or whatever) except against another new ball. The big problem with one dayers now is that the length of the innings gets boring - especially in the middle.
I might suggest this to someone.

Absolutely, how did he manage to add another 85 runs on top of what Warner just did.

Try a psychiatrist.

How is that a wide?

Was only a foot over his head...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

True, but if a batsman is going to move all over the crease the bowler should be given some slack. And maxwell ended up ducking.

 

[T-Boon]

try an optometrist

 

[TheParraboy]

the big show 13 from 5 balls, watch him explode

 

[T-Boon]

Go away

just put me on ignore.

 

[Bazal]

They always talk about how Shit Show makes it hard for the bowlers, they have to change their lengths, never know if he's going to be outside off or leg or whatever, blah blah blah.....how about bowling at the fking stumps? Revolutionary really....

I do agree but the rules are the rules at the moment, and they are stacked in favour of the batsmen.

Tbh I'm in favour of removing the bouncer restriction in ODIs

 

[TheParraboy]

will we reach 400?

I reckon 392

 

[T-Boon]

a big no

Interesting - thanks. I'll google it. Shut the idea down...though the 50 over game does need something drastic.

 

[TheParraboy]

No more head..
