Re: Cricket

Just watching a bit of the cricket and Australia in their second innings are currently a mind boggling 21 for 9 wickets and thats after they dismissed South Africa for the low score of 96 in their first innings.

Re: Cricket

They only batted 18 overs in the innings, thats quite shocking for a test playing country, under any circumstances.

Re: Cricket

If that was a county championship match the curator ( groundsman) would have been hung out to dry and the home side would have been punished. Although there where some dreadful shots played, any wicket that produces such results must be very suspect indeed.:rolleyes:

The new SA bowler, Philanderer or whatever ;) looks tasy though.

ICC postpone Test Championship until at least 2017:

"I am disappointed it is not going to take place sooner," said International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Haroon Lorgat.

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) described the announcement as "a setback for Test cricket".

The Test Championship, due to involve the top four teams in the ICC rankings, had been planned as a way of reviving international interest in the five-day format.

Sounds like Sky aren't enamoured of the 5 day game?

Quote:

The delay comes because of a lack of "support and consent" from the ICC's broadcast partner.

Former England all-rounder Basil D'Oliveira has died at the age of 80.

Quote:

In 1968 he was named in England's squad to tour South Africa which was then cancelled as South Africa's government refused to accept his presence.

Quote:

The tour was called off and the incident culminated in a ban on sporting ties with South Africa which would last until the early 1990s.

Quote:

"He was a man of true dignity and a wonderful role model as somebody who overcame the most extreme prejudices and circumstances to take his rightful place on the world stage.

Quote:

"Throughout this shameful period in South Africa's sporting history, Basil displayed a human dignity that earned him worldwide respect and admiration.

RIP Basil

If one of the moderators could do that then that would be very helpful
