Zak in the top 5 bowlers with most WC wickets, Hogg playing more WC games than Warne, Waqar playing only 3 WCs.

Grew up with baseball. First encountered cricket in about 2010 and was pretty confused but with understanding baseball it made me understand cricket a bit more easily. I worked at a cinema during the 2011 World Cup and the local Indian diaspora group rented out our auditoriums to show matches. That's when I really fell in love. Cricket is just... such an interesting sport to me being kind of a statistical nerd. I can't say I find watching matches particularly "exciting" (my #1 sport is ice hockey) but it's very... cerebral. Very interesting. Maybe if I were a fan of any given involved team I'd find it exciting, but either way I love watching and following cricket.
It's definitely superior to baseball in my opinion, which 99% of my country's population would lynch me for saying. :P

Just like to extend an apology to the community for the server issues around the time of the match starting.
We'll be having an outage to the site following the game to hopefully correct a few things.

Zak basically took us to 2 WC finals, took 20ish wickets in both WCs and averages 20 in WCs.
He's an ATG ODI bowler and I don't give a **** if he conceded runs against SL in Kitply series matches.

I watched the New Zealand vs. Australia test in Hobart a few years ago. I just about died.
Test cricket when it's a close result is possibly the best thing ever. Except maybe watching a USA vs. Canada ice hockey game at the Olympics, for me personally. I'm still devastated by losing 1-0 to Canada in the Olympic semifinal, and that was over a year ago

SA against India and SL v Eng were two of the more recent ones that just killed me inside.
Imagine how you feel when ODIs go down to the last 3-4 overs. Then imagine feeling that for an entire session or more. Test cricket is just on another plane at times.

He wasn't atg material. Showed glimpses of atg level skills for brief periods in his career at various times. If he had sustained that for a large portion of his career, he would have been. 2003 was when he was the exciting prospect stabilizing in the team. Then he was dropped later, came back as the work horse and then found his rhythm and became the veteran of the side from 2008 onward. He finished as the veteran on 2011. Good bowler who could have been a legit great if not for his fitness issues.

Reminds me of another test I watched that was particularly exciting. I think it was played in England, and it was England vs. Sri Lanka. The details I remember about it were that it was really looking like a boring draw and England declared immediately when Ian Bell got his century. Then, totally unexpectedly, England managed to bowl out Sri Lanka in a single session and won the match.
That's all I remember about it, which is a product of it having been on live around 4 a.m. my time and me probably being drunk while watching it (I don't remember if I was, but if the local time is 4 a.m. I'm probably either drunk or asleep).
Cheers, been lurking a few weeks.
Thanks. Haven't listened to much on the radio. I know female commentators are becoming more common, but was just a bit surprised to hear an english female commentator doing Australian radio, especially with England not around anymore.
