*Official* T20I Tri Series in Zimbabwe 2018

[Black_Warrior]

Yeah it's obviously nuts in hindsight but at the time it would've seemed perfectly sane. Probably should've tried to shorten the series once it became obvious the team was going to be like this though.

It was already shortened. There were supposed to be 2 Test matches too.

Sarfraz is gonna bowl an over or two here...

 

[Black_Warrior]

Sarf bowling lol

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Decent bowling action from the skipper!

Nathan Lyon-esque

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Nice flight as well.

Incredible how well informed Bryan Murgatroyd is about world cricket and he's commentating with Ramiz who hasn't got a clue about current series

[Mr Miyagi]

For the record minded, have a look at Imam-Ul-Nephew.

Batting records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo

He has just over 500 ODI runs with 4 centuries and 0 50's.

There has to be some kind of record in there already.

I believe QdK managed 5 tons without making a 50

Loving how much this will trigger OS btw

Yeah but the fact that he's made 4 tons and still only had 544 runs in his career is the really amazing stat

Murgatroyd? Didn't he play for Namibia back in the day?

Pretty sure this one spells it with an i (Bryan/Brian). I don't think he has any cricketing experience but is a high-profile cricketing journalist.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Murgatroyd? Didn't he play for Namibia back in the day?

Yes and now an excellent commentator. I am amazed how well informed he is..he was narrating stories from Sarfraz in U19 World Cup 2006. Ramiz can't tell a story from 2 months ago

Pretty sure they're different guys

 

[TT Boy]

Brian Murgatroyd never played. He used to work for England, then Australia and finally the ICC as their media head before doing broadcasting. Does the U19 WCs in addition to Pakistani cricket as he is based in the Middle East.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Yeah on closer analysis it seems very much like they are indeed different people.

 

[Black_Warrior]

WTF I just googled him and it said Namibian cricketer


Edit: My bad, the Namibian cricketer is Gavin Bryan Murgratroyd

 

[Starfighter]

Considering this is now over a month old I think this can also be unpinned, together with the SL vs SA and WI vs Bang threads.
