awnaw!

by Sidhu Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:01

Haha, awesome. Now Prince is gone. They've gone from 1/217 to 7/254.

When they choke it up, they choke it up big.

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:06

Oh, way to go Jaapan. Lose 7 wickets for 37 runs and go from a comfy 1/218 to 8 255

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:07

Fark.

1-218 to 8-256. Yoiks, that's a collapse and a half.

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:08

Don't the Jaaps usually reserve their collapses for ODIs?

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:08

This might be one of those "what's the smallest total featuring 2 centuries" jobs.

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:09

I think this is still the record (so far):

284 Aus v WI Brisbane 1968-69 WM Lawry (105)/IM Chappell (117)

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:13

Possibly not for much longer.

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:18

Actually, there is a lower more recent one than the one I posted:

279 NZ v Ind Hamilton 2008-09 JD Ryder 102/DL Vettori 118

Did Indian bowlers suddenly have a brain transplant during the lunch session? Or did SA decide to choke in the big game once again? Judgement on this reserved till Indians bat an innings.

Shocked

@ Indian bowlers - applause

by Sidhu Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:23

Last 10 ovs 8/5 RR 0.80

PMSL

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:31

Steyn gone. 9 for 262. Record under serious threat.

by philcric Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:35

What a weird match !

Indian bowling except Zak is still pretty ordinary. Bhajji bowled OK but got really lucky.

Morne Morkel at #11? Not long ago he used to bat at #8 !!

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:36

Ooh, looks like the Yarps are gonna take the record for the lowest ever Test total featuring 2 centuries (currently 279).

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:36

Erm, as Zat has already said. Embarassed

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:47

And bad light stops play.

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:47

And they call stumps.

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:49

So the last wicket needs to make another 14 to avoid an embarrassing record.

by Basil Sun 14 Feb 2010, 10:52

WTF? and I thought England held the copyright for collapses like this.

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 11:08

Hash and Pete doing it with ease then it all goes to shit.

by tac Sun 14 Feb 2010, 11:09

Like the Bannie collapse last test after Sehwag got out . . .

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 11:10

Here's another record the Yarps are chasing. Lowest Test total featuring a 200-stand:

Current record:

283 - 210 for 2nd wkt NZ v WI Kingston 1984-85 GP Howarth 84/JJ Crowe 112

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 11:14

Cool. So a couple of records in the frame.

by Zat Sun 14 Feb 2010, 11:14

Test cricket is grouse.

by skully Sun 14 Feb 2010, 11:15

Damn straight. Cool
