YT?

I thought 431 was a chance earlier on - now lucky to get to 300.

Nar...at least YT in his early days showed some genuine potential. Smith has never justified his constant selection in any form of the game. His automatic selection must have genuine all rounders spewing.

Captain crap is living up to his name.

Now, now, just lie back and think of Vikas. You'll relax then.

Man, one look at this current partnership and Watson's innings is put into perspective. Clarke and Hussey tootling along at a run a ball but it's almost boring as batsh!t.

And time to end the ShyT-at5-Smithy-at-6 bulltwang. P!ss em both off now.

oops...Freudian slip. I meant to say Captain Crab.

Did you pick that number randomly, or do you mean 444 i.e. beating the Lankans' record of 443?

I would've though Capt Crab(s) was more Freudian, given his past flings.

I'm predicting 330

With due respect (or not) to the Bangers, 240 will be enough.

Hell...they could declare now & still win but i think they will press to over 300.

Clarke out for 47. Terrible shot exposing his leg stump. Given Paine & Fergys lack of time in the middle i might have to revise my estimate.

Powerplay taken early (thankfully).

FMD - 2/10 off 14 balls in the PP so far.

Yep...Fergy goes early.

Having said that WTF would you send Johnson in ahead of Paine with 13 overs still to play?

Maybe this is wwhy...


39.6 Mortaza to Johnson, SIX!!, to long off
39.5 Mortaza to Johnson, SIX!!, That is huge, it was over-pitched, right in the slot for Johnson, he gets underneath it and sends it soaring all the way over the ropes at long off, superb shot that from Johnson
39.4 Mortaza to Johnson, FOUR!!, fuller length delivery on the middle and leg, Johnson frees his arms and swings it past mid-wicket for a handy boundary

But .... what is the point?

BD's 330 is looking fairly close.

Or not. Some late smoting from Hastings got us up to 361.

Well done to Paris for notching up his 3rd (thought he would've had more) JAMODI ton.

What's amusing is the commentators keep talking about how BD might approach this innings as if they have a realistic chance of chasing it down.

And Hussey's cheap ton will mean the selectors will have to keep persisting with him despite his shyte WC and the need to blood some youngsters.

2nd highest ever total in Bangladesh, pipped by India's 370 in the opening game of WC2011.

Aint life a bitch

SMITING.

SMOTE is past tense gaggdavitt.

It's like when people say "It hoves into view".

Or "that span a long way", or "we dove into a bar".

I am the brother of Yorkie Jill Tailender and I shall not let it pass. Or poss, possibly.
