Around the wicket to Smith? They've given up the ghost here.

John Snow scored 70 in the 40s at 100

 

[Bazal]

John Snow scored 70 in the 40s at 100

John Snow killed every single batsman he ever bowled at. Except Chappelli who never so much as got nipped on the pad strap.

Bradman is overrated

Do we need to switch to another Channel 7 sub channel? I was expecting a repeat of the late 90’s, early noughties classic Becker at 8?

No room for Becker with Fraser in the mix.

Reckon McSweeney and Konstas wouldn't mind having a bat on this.

[Shaun Hewitt]

John Snow killed every single batsman he ever bowled at.

And he knew nothing!

Sri Lanka will be ruing all the missed chances here.
The Head non-appeal, the fairly straight forward edge chance, the caught and bowled chance, the run out chance, the keeper chance....

If they don't improve in the field, 550+ could be on the cards here.

Interviewer: What do you think you would average in todays cricket?
Bradman: I think I'd average about 65.
Interviewer: But you averaged nearly 100 in your career.
Bradman: Yes, but I'm in my 70s now.
