10th Match - Australia v West Indies

[stephen]

also goes to show how random lower order batting can be. of all the many talented people to have 8 for australia over nearly 50 years of ODI cricket, it's NCN who has the highest score, by far. he had scored an average of 8 runs in his previous 18 ODI innings! (overall averaged boosted to 12 when not outs are included)

The average of your number 8 doesn't mean much when they face 5 balls at the end of the innings. NCN has had it in him to play a good innings. His 30 odd last summer was class.

 

[Spikey]

that's ****ed his average

 

[Starfighter]

Bugger

 

[morgieb]

Booooo.

Killjoys.

 

[trundler]

That's unfortunate.

 

[Burgey]

****! Dead set deserved a ton

Wonder what odds he was paying to be the first Australian centurion of the WC a week ago? Must have been 200/1, surely

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Ahh well. What an incredible innings though

 

[BeeGee]

Good knock.

 

[stephen]

That's a shame. Top innings. Up to Starc to hit out now.

 

[Starfighter]

Just play out the rest of the balls.

 

[harsh.ag]

drop stoinis and bat him at six

 

[stephen]

Did they cross?

 

[trundler]

Is NCN going to be the next Faulkner? Drop Stoinis!

 

[Spikey]

****! Dead set deserved a ton

Wonder what odds he was paying to be the first Australian centurion of the WC a week ago? Must have been 200/1, surely

should have been no shorter than 1001/1

 

[Starfighter]

Funny that Holder takes that catch rather than you know... bowling.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The hundred was definitely in his head once he got past 80.

 

[stephen]

Cracking shot.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

288 all out

 

[Starfighter]

The one long part of the ground there.

 

[trundler]

Brathwaite ugh
