What is even worst is that you had the captain on other end!

@Cover Drive , Hafeez did a sloppy job of covering his SS (handle) sticker. Are you hearing anything on other bats?

Anyone who's got Sky+ HD but hasn't got the sports package have a look on channel 407 as I think the cricket is on for free in HD today.

I assume you are talking about "one day" specialists and not test matchs. Until Kohli proves himself on pitches that aren't flat (England etc) then he is a very poor man's Gavaskar/Dravid/Tendulkar.. Of course he is exciting to watch on flat pitches but so is  Warner,Roy, Guptill, etc, etc.
De Villiers is a better all round batsman/cricketer than Kohli. 

Have you seen Kohli's Test record in Australia? 8 matches, 5 100s at 62.

I'm confused here. ODIs are mostly played on flat pitches. Either way 7000 runs at 51 with 25 centuries is s mighty fine effort.

Also I didn't say Kohli was superior to de Villiers. I said those two are the benchmark in ODI cricket. Aside from those two only Amla and Dhoni had ODI averages north of 50. Elite group I'd say 

And final point Kohli has scored hundreds in Tests everywhere excluding England. So I doubt all pitches around the world are 'flat'

Clubbies don't play such shots when they see a fielder patrolling the leg area. Only Hafeez.

You love Hafeez really

On the other hand, young Mr. Wood is bowling well - good pace!

He is actually trying to protect his handle as he gets bowled a lot in nets so has to knock stumps very often

Enjoying how far back Buttler is standing. PACE.

[rickjames]

Terrible umpiring there

Hahahaha

You spot any Tim Keeley bats in the Pak squad?

That was a big edge.

Obviously awful, but as Holding said it's Sharjeels fault for wasting such a stupid review. How Azhar didn't just say 'please walk' is beyond me...

[InternalTraining]

^ What I heard from the commentary is that Sharjeel did not consult the batter on the other end and just waved for the review.  Maybe Sharjeel has a hearing problem and did not hear the snick.

FYI, hate to be a dampener but it's raining in Dorchester - won't be too long until it hits Southampton! (Terrible pun intended)
