We saw all four innings in one day (without any wacky declarations).

Any stats nuts want to tell me when that last happened in a test?

 

[legend166]

So guys, who else is looking forward to the Australia/South Africa series?

I can't wait for it to start!

I think it once happened in an India NZ match.

cric info at the time said:

Blake: "Does anyone know how many times all 4 innings have taken place in a single day?" It's happened twice I think, Eng v WI and India v NZ.

Its also the second quickest EVER bundling out in terms of overs.

 

[SumPog]

goddamn what the hell.

 

[tri_willy]

if aussies win, lyon should just get man of the match for the sole fact he top scored in the 2nd innings as a no.11

 

[justin.au]

What an utter embarrassment.

No mental strength whatsoever. (Pup and SoS get passes for their first innings efforts).

 

[Rayven_king]

That douche smith actualy gets a hundred

"Australia Test Team are 9 wickets for 21 runs. Yes, it's Australia and not Austria v Sth Africa."
Bryce McGain, former Australia legspinner, would like to make sure there are no misunderstandings

Replace Punter on that list with Harris. I'd still like to see Punter for a few more games before his career comes to an end.

 

[Curufinwe]

Man, it would have been awesome if Australia had replaced New Zealand as the record holder for lowest test innings score. We've been stuck with that for 56 years.

Somewhere Grug must have partying on this news .. I was on the opposite end of the spectrum on this guy, liked him.

 

[Curufinwe]

More details.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/5960081/Roebuck-killed-himself-after-sexual-allegations

Peter Roebuck, regarded by many as the finest cricket writer of his generation, fell to his death from a hotel window in Cape Town on Saturday night after being questioned by police about an alleged sexual assault.

Roebuck, who had written on cricket for the Herald since 1984, had been covering the Australian tour of South Africa for the paper. He was also commentating on the tour for ABC radio.

A Cape Town detective and a uniformed police officer from the sexual crimes unit began speaking with Roebuck, 55, in his room at the Southern Sun Hotel, Newlands, about 9pm.

Roebuck, who was agitated, asked a fellow cricket journalist for help. ''Can you come down to my room quickly? I've got a problem,'' he said. He asked for help to find a lawyer and for contact to be made with the students he helped to house in Pietermaritzburg, near Durban.

Minutes later Roebuck fell to his death from a window. It is believed only the uniformed officer was in the room. Paramedics rushed to the hotel but Roebuck was pronounced dead. Police established a crime scene and took personal items from the room, including a laptop.

Captain Frederick van Wyk of Cape Town police said an inquest into the death had been launched. ''An incident occurred last night at about 9.15pm at a hotel in Claremont where a 55-year-old British citizen, who worked as an Australian commentator, committed suicide,'' he said.

Whats with these SA guys dying in strange circumstances :/

 

[tri_willy]

australia strangely off to a fast start... what the hey

 

[CharliePants]

I've always liked Hughes, seemingly contrary to the rest of the cricketing public. Hope he makes it, could be a 15+ year opener for us.

It's his concentration that has let him down (and why I've wanted him sent back to Shield cricket on a number of occasions). But, he's scoring runs, so that's all that matters for the minute.

 

[legend166]

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuughes.

 

[DeSo]

Is a good innings a year good enough?

Well, according to Mitch Johnson... it is!

 

[tri_willy]

ponting plucks another duck... this continues to be ridiculous

 

[justin.au]

Ponting really must retire at the end of this Australian summer at the very latest.

 

[Andiie]

First gamer Cummins got 6/79, the only bright spot for Australia.

 

[legend166]

Patty Cummins is a legend.

Watson gets out first ball, lol.

Going to be tough from here. Hughes and Usman need a good 80-100 run partnership.

 

[justin.au]

Hughes to tonne up.

Khawaja to tonne up.

Punter to tonne up.

Pup to tonne up.

Huss to finish it off.

 

[legend166]

HUGHES NOOOOOO


Come on Ponting. One last century to finish the career.

That's assuming they will have the balls to drop him.

he'll be next to cause dissent amongst the ranks

 

[beast786]

Wow, what a crazy game between pakistan and Sirlanka. What a turn around

 

[Zapages]

great win by Pakistan... Really surprised by the lack of depth in Sri Lanka's batting.

 

[justin.au]

Fantastic finish set up in the Aus/SA test. How ridiculous that it is a two match series.

 

[AAK]

Why do I feel that every time Pakistan win, it's almost always from one man's sole contribution.

Most unpredictable team in sporting history.

The fact they reached the World Cup Semi and ended Australia streak was a miracle.

For a team to loose its two seam bowlers and bat, lead to a complete new style with spin attack.

 

[crazy monkey]

congrats to Australia. I would have liked if SA would have won but oh well. Also test match is alive and well. I wish we had more of this than ipl's and 20-20

 

[justin.au]

Looking forward to the next match in this unpredictable and excit....

Oh.

 

[artist]

Looking forward to the next match in this unpredictable and excit....

Oh.

To be honest, the quality of the teams and the sort of shot selection they've resorted to .. doesnt really make me put this in my top-whatever list of exciting test series.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

*Looks at the India V Windies score card*

Gee India are going ok again

*Spits water out*

That's the West Indies 494/4.

Anyways good on Australia, surprised they where able to pull it off. Looking forward to some cricket IN Aus so I can watch it.

Can't believe Sri Lanka blew it with the overthrow.

Great win by Pakistan and the sixes by Afridi helped Pakistan secure the win!

Yep, crazy win.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Australia A batters are going pretty well.

 

[Andiie]

Wow at the West Indies second innings lol.

Edit: Can't believe they drew.

 

[Meadows]

Ashwin's the really inbred looking one isn't he?
