Simon Jones was probably the most unlucky, such a good bowler but terrible injury record.
How long was his test career, 2 or 3 seasons?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Played a bit in summer 2002 and then did his knee in Brisbane in Nov 2002
Back for the home summer of 2004 and also toured SA in 2004/05
Played the 2005 Ashes and that was that

The irony of Ponting bawling at Duncan Fletcher when Gary Pratt ran him out at Trent Bridge was that while we definitely did take the piss with sub fielders in that series, Pratt was on for Jones who never played international cricket ever again.

SA 3/2 chasing 104 vs Netherlands

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Make that 3/3

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

England win the toss and bowl first

No changes

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Make that 3/3

12/4

I would think cricket (well the 20/20 format) could be very popular in USA if it was marketed properly. Last nights game had everything. Plenty of time to insert ads too.

Hard to say, baseball is already slipping further from the peak it used to firmly reside on. Similar vibes to cricket from what I know (accepting I know zero rules of cricket other than "hit ball with bat, try to catch ball").

Oh dear Will Jacks.

Oddly today you have a cricket World Cup match in New York and a MLB game in London

Well this one looks over already.

That short side is going to get peppered, any reasonable hit that way is flying for 6

Shows what Hayden knows... said it would be a 140 wicket and not 180... at this rate it will be over 200...

 

[Tony Towner]

Warwickshire's overseas player is fit again. One over for 25 and a golden duck

 

[jd1981]

That bollocks of a wide call

 

[jd1981]

We’ve bowled some garbage either to short or to full

 

[Sniffer]

Good couple of overs to get both set batsmen.

 

[jd1981]

Yep hopefully keep them below 200

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Zampa will be the issue on here, we've pulled it back OK (other than Jordan being shite again)
