Escaped Cave Troll going AGBB in Durban

11.1 Broad to Styris, SIX, full toss and that got exactly what it deserved, smacked onto the roof of the stand beyond midwicket and it's stuck up there

9.3 Mascarenhas to Styris, SIX, take that! Faster and flatter, but the same result. 666, the number of the beast!

9.2 Mascarenhas to Styris, SIX, slightly fuller, but that's the same result! Down on one knee and lots of bottom hand. One bounce off the roof of the midwicket stand and away into the road!

9.1 Mascarenhas to Styris, SIX, that's massive. Just a little bit too short from Mascarenhas, and at his pace he can't afford to do that. Styris climbed into that and smacked it clean over the midwicket stand



Is it just me or would Mascarenhas not look out of place with an eyepatch and a parrot on his shoulder?

Why, is he an ornithologist who has conjunctivitis?

Mascarenas probably becomes the first player in international 20/20 to hit 3 consecutive 6s (he hit 5 straight of Yuvraj in England) and have 3 straight hit off him. Unless, of course, Yuvraj has managed 3 straight sixes while batting (don't think he has though).

Shaggers have hit a remarkable 29 sixes in the tournament so far.

What's that got to do with him being a bird-loving sick-eye?

Erm, his name?

No, he's a pastry critic.

Uhhhh, OK antipodeans. Keep perfecting your English... you'll get there in the end.

I does me best, old gaffer. Couldn't help slipping in to triv mode with all bliks' mentions of sixes off the Macarena.

Maddy (until he was out - but a good knock) and Wright come good for Blighty?? England should still do this easy. Only 8 an over required.

Oops, wrong thread. Apologies.

Ridiculous forumming......

Shambles... totally.

Even I could do better....

No ...you couldn't

that would be true, only problem is that the eng-ind match was an odi not 20/20

Ah, good point TO. Ridiculous forumming indeed. [slinks away]
