Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[aussie tragic]

CA XI of unknowns just beat Sri Lanka in the T20 warm up before Sundays T20I

Okay, maybe Siddle, Christian, Lynn and Ahmed are known

 

[Midwinter]

Fawad wins the game with the bat !

Looking at the highlights the worst attended I've ever seen. Has been bad ever since they started having it as a T20 in October rather than an OD in January, not to mention the XIs are not exactly a drawcard.

Worst Kohli look-alike ever.

are those cheap knock off edith glasses

That's pretty sad since it's for charity.

Bound to happen when you can pretty much only pick from players that aren't in their state squads

Noted death overs power hitter Fawad Ahmed, ladies and gentlemen.


Good to see Nielsen the younger in the runs too. The SACAs will need him to stand up when Carey is away on T20 duty

Pretty awesome little video for any fan of 1930s cricket. Get to see a very brief glimpse of what these guys were like as people

Chuck Fleetwood Smith has an Errol Flynn vibe to him

Noted death overs power hitter Fawad Ahmed, ladies and gentlemen.

I've been on the receiving end of a match-winning Fawad tail-end knock funnily enough, and no he's not any better in club cricket

 

[GoodAreasShane]

That's actually pretty amazing.

Still remember seeing him walk out to the middle in a Shield game... sans bat. What a man

There are now Test stats for batsman who batted at number 12 in the order due to the concussion substitute. Gabriel and Ngidi have batted at 12, neither made a run.

 

[ajdude]

i wonder what category matches played in the hundred will go under on cricinfo? t20, a separate "hundred" category or the "other t20" category

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Hope it goes into the trash category.

 

[Starfighter]

'other matches' please

 

[Gnske]

The hundred is such a daring concept it can't be categorized, stats becoming meaningless like bad numbers.

Nearly wet myself in excitement when I saw S Mahmood on the scorecard for the Eng NZ warm up game

Any kindle owners in the UK, Beyond a Boundary and Fire in Babylon are both 99p today.

Still a spot or two too high for them tbh

Haha same

 

[NUFAN]

Have you looked at the top 100 T20I batsman in the official ICC rankings lately?

There is an Austrian ranked 88th ffs.

In fairness he does average 69.33 at a strike rate of 190, but lolz.
