What the hell does IMO stand for?

What the hell does IMO stand for?

IMO - In My Opinion

Zimbabwe bowlers getting hammered by Hayden & Gilchrist.

Hondo dropped a sitter off Gilchrist.

Aus 0/100 after 15.3

 

[Adamc]

Gilchrist is 155* (114) and counting, still 9.3 overs to go... the first ODI double-century perhaps?

Gilchrist is 155* (114) and counting, still 9.3 overs to go... the first ODI double-century perhaps?

He's 169 and 7 overs to go still...

Funny, how I was thinking the very same thing. :O

God, I hope not. I was hoping that record would be reserved for me... :P

j/k

 

[krkode]

Oh, there he goes...172...

Oh well...

 

[Mister Wright]

Gilchrist is 155* (114) and counting, still 9.3 overs to go... the first ODI double-century perhaps?

Not the first! It would have been the second. I think it was Belinda Clarke who was the first to get a ODI double-century.

I knew someone would say that. Do we have to be that technical??

 

[Mister Wright]

Yes we do. Men's cricket is not the only cricket that is played. Women play tests and ODIs aswell, why shouldn't their milestones count?

 

[SquidAU]

Zimbabwe now 2/20 after 7.3 overs.......not looking good again!

 

[Craig]

IMO Vermeulen will, like Astle, better prosper at # 3. Friend should open and play some shots.

Friend should play only as a batsman. I dont rate his bowling.

So you are another one who thing Nathan Astle will be better off at 3?

 

[krkode]

Yes we do. Men's cricket is not the only cricket that is played. Women play tests and ODIs aswell, why shouldn't their milestones count?

Because we compare men to men and women to women. Records aren't interchangable, and when speaking of a cricket match played by men, we talk about the men's records.

I would have no problem if Adamc had of said the first men's ODI century. However he said the first ODI double-century, and infact there has been a ODI double-century before, but not a men's ODI double-century.

 

[Jono]

Bravo Mister Wright, do you feel better about yourself now? :rolleyes:

 

[krkode]

Big deal. You know perfectly well what he meant. It was meant to place emphasis on Gilchrist's possible future deed, which it did until someone started to get technical :P

Now let us halt this argument and begin to talk about the Cricket at hand again...

To only hit 13 fours & 3 sixes in an innings of 172 is quite unbelievable.

 

[krkode]

Not really. :P

But the fact that it was still done in 126 balls is. :wow:

Aplaud-worthy, indeed...

 

[Tim]

Ahh yes, I thought I would suffer for not mentioning # of balls faced

 

[Mister Wright]

Stephen Waugh to captain Prime Minister's XI against India

[SquidAU]

If Heath Streak keeps playing like this, he must be named man of the series....I don't think anyone will play all round like this......

 

[Tim]

In all 3 matches so far he's been extremely consistent with both bat & ball, and we're talking about the 2 finalists of the World Cup in 2003...but in a losing team, the judges may well look past that.
