Of the world's premier batsmen - which I would call a group of five - Smith, Root, Williamson, Kohli, AB - I would absolutely pick Kohli first in ever form of the game. He is THAT good.

Axver · 08-07-2016, 08:25 AM

I'd be inclined to go AB myself.

Teen debutant takes down Kohli, Rohit | cricket.com.au

Imagine being 19 and taking down Kohli for your first Test wicket ... and you've played only a handful of FC games.

cobl04 · 08-10-2016, 08:25 PM

Wowwww. Saha and Ashwin had put on 213 for the sixth wicket and they still managed to roll them for 353. And now they're 1/107 at stumps. Cool as.

RIP Hanif Mohammed; try this scorecard on for size. 1st Test: West Indies v Pakistan at Bridgetown, Jan 17-23, 1958 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Also held the FC record for 35 years until BC Lara broke it. Semi Final: Karachi v Bahawalpur at Karachi, Jan 8-12, 1959 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Vlad n U 2 · 08-11-2016, 05:30 AM

There are reports(?) that he is still alive after losing his heartbeat for 6 minutes.

cobl04 · 08-11-2016, 05:31 AM

Well that would explain why Harsha Bhogle's tweet is gone

Vlad n U 2 · 08-11-2016, 07:47 AM

Now it is confirmed he has passed away. RIP. That brief recovery was indeed very brief.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-12-2016, 09:11 PM

The 4th test turning out to be another corker.

It's been a great series for the most part. Sadly the Windies couldn't capitalise on their good position against India.

Tune in on white line wireless now - were calling the Sri Lanka game

Vlad n U 2 · 08-13-2016, 06:23 AM

Sri Lanka were 5/26 - now they are 5/213 and de Silva has his maiden hundred.

Pretty brilliant recovery and this sort of total looks adequate enough for these pitches.

cobl04 · 08-13-2016, 06:57 AM

Stunning recovery.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-13-2016, 08:38 AM

Old mate Younis Khan with another cracking double hundred. Pakistan leading by 148 now.

cobl04 · 08-13-2016, 08:49 AM

Very, very awesome. He doesn't quite get his dues, which is odd, considering he has nearly 10,000 runs at nearly 54, only Kallis and Sangakkara are better in that club.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-13-2016, 08:52 AM

I think he's the sort of player who'll be touted as a real cricketing legend 5 years after he retires. I mean, the stats speak for themselves.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-14-2016, 01:27 AM

Now it's a century for Chandimal. Sri Lanka going at another good total on this pitch.

cobl04 · 08-17-2016, 03:02 AM

An hour ago we 1/100. Half an hour before that 0/77. Now 6/125

Thoroughly deserved victory by Sri Lanka, and why the fuck we picked Moises Henriques in this Test will be studied for centuries.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-17-2016, 03:07 AM

Sri Lanka set 324 to win early on the last day. Australia all the way from 1 for 100 to 6 for 130 ... this test series absolutely loves abrupt batting collapses.

Vlad n U 2 · 08-17-2016, 03:48 AM

All over, all out for 160. Only Australia's fifth series whitewash loss in their history. Old Mate Herath with 7/64 in the innings and 13 for the match.

Pretty remarkable series result all things considered.
