2018 ODIs and T20i (that dont have their own thread)

I agree. Rashid Khan is far and away Afghanistan's best, but he does not know how to bowl in test matches.

That might be because they've only played one.

Didn't realise this was on
SL hosting the Poms in 5 one dayers

1st match was washed out basically, poms were 2/92 - 15 0vers

2nd ODI on sat from 330pm

3rd ODI - 17/10
4th ODI -20/10
5th ODI - 23/10

only t20 on 28/10

 

[TheParraboy]

Poms won the 2nd ODI v SL via D/L

Malinga still around, grabbed 5 wickets, took his international wicket tally to 500
Funnily enough has exactly 500 odi runs to his name as well

 

[TheParraboy]

india destroyed WI overnight in their 1st odi

chasing 323 to win they did it with almost 8 overs to spare

Kholi 140 from 107
Sharma 152no from 117

Kholi is a freak

has almost 10,000 runs - 36 tons, 48 half tons
s/r 92.5

Shaping up to be an England v India WC final. Pak maybe a darkhorse.
Daylight between them and the rest of the teams I think.

Virat Kohli has just passed 10,000 ODI runs.

Which means probably 10,000 articles about it now on Cricinfo.

 

[TheParraboy]

Kholi just hit 10,000 ODI runs

82no v WI 2nd ODI

India 3/202 - 37 OVERS

Batting with Dhoni 8no from 12

 

[TheParraboy]

Kholi reached 10,000 in the fewest innings over anyone else, 205 innings

Dhoni cracks a 6

 

[jargan83]

WI 3/178 and need another 144 off of 147 balls.

Shimron Hetmyer going the tonk with 72* off 48

He's certainly very good at cashing in on flat modern decks in the seven million ODIs India seem to play at home and/or vs the Windies every year...

 

[jargan83]

Hetmyer throws it away 94 off 64.

WI 4/221

 

[hineyrulz]

West Indies score 13 off the last over to tie the game, the look on that Turd Kholi's face was priceless.

 

[Meth]

A couple of great knocks. Can't sniff at Kohli's 157- but Shai Hope's innings, including his boundary to snatch a tie, is pretty epic

 

[Bazal]

As shit as we are, we can all be thankful that at least we aren't the West Indies....

Not sure we would be able to be involved in 5 games all being "live" like the WIs have been...

Is there a better limited overs batsman to watch than Rohit Sharma? Especially now that ABDV has retired.

I know there's the fact that he is a bit of a flat track bully, but that's pretty much the status quo these days especially in limited overs cricket. That being said, the hundred he scored last night was on a slow track. It's really just early swing that troubles him in the short stuff and he's for sure not alone there...

There are obviously better batsmen in the world, but I don't know that there's anyone more entertaining to watch than him. Some of the shots he hits are incredible and there's no one around I would back to get the kind of huge scores he does pretty regularly...
