Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

[andruid]

See Dhaba. Probably does deserve its own thread tbh but I cbf

Was just coming here to ask how such a one sided game happened in an 'Elite Competition'

check out what the shadester and two mates pulled at the charity auction at work

it’s such an awesome piece and we’re all fans but none of us wanted to tip in for the lot so we went in on a consortium and intend to flip for a tidy profit

What does this mean?

 

[StephenZA]

What does this mean?

Did not want to pay all the monies as indivduals...

 

[Shady Slim]

What does this mean?

@StephenZA in with the right stuff

honestly we all would have wanted it ourselves but when you're bidding with equity partners of a law firm you're a touch outmatched. a win for collectivization and the power of unions tbh! (it was the "marquee item")

Nobody talks about ABdV's double ton in India.

Not just beaten by Afghanistan, but hammered, in their own backyard!

Punished.

It's because he's got no friends there

Sad story.

Interesting article about Jermaine Lawson on the Grauniad. Probably timed to work in with the West Indies vs. Australia series.

One of the worst bowling actions to have disgraced the test cricket field. Amazing he ever had a FC career, let alone got picked for WI (even though they were really hard up for bowlers at the time). Surely someone must have noticed earlier

Franklyn Rose and Reon King were the big what ifs AFAIC amongst the Windies fast bowlers post Bishop.

 

[Starfighter]

I suppose you had to be there at the time, but what was so special about Reon King? I just don't see what other people seem to have.

Good height, pace off an easy run up and lift off the wicket.
