International Cricket 2014
A Happy And Successful New Year to all
2014 started off with a world record in the 3rd ODI in New Zealand in a rain affected game reduced to 21 over
From cricinfo
New Zealand went nuclear on New Year's Day. After more than five hours of waiting for the weather to clear, Corey Anderson began 2014 by treating patient spectators to the fastest century in one-day cricket. He scored it off 36 balls, beating Afridi's record by one delivery, to lead New Zealand to 283 in a 21 over game. Ryder's century, in his second game after returning to the national side, was the sixth fastest in ODIs. The West Indies' chase was academic.
"Hope Cricinfo archive this match as Anderson Vs WI and Anderson won the match by 7 runs"

they wouldn't have batted as aggressively as that if it had been a full 50 over match
It's a fair point but I think a lot has to do with the West Indies attitude. I don't think they were expecting to play after a 5 hour delay
Darren Sammy pulled/strained a hamstring when they were messing about on a wet outfield before the scheduled start. Makes me wonder if they had prepped properly or had been welcoming the New Year in
Also, in the Big Bash what a start to the New Year for Owais Shah
1st ball duck and dropped the easiest catch I think I've ever seen !
Could be a debut for Borthwick
Absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe they were just playing themselves in early in the innings..:D
211/3 with Younis and Misbah going well
3rd time they have batted together against Sri Lanka in tests and the 3rd 100+ partnership
I get the impression they weren't keen to pick him anyway , especially after how little trust cook seemed to have in him during the last game
be a lot of pressure on borthwick's bowling tho as he is probably more of a batsman than a bowler these days and the aussies will go after him
Warner is in the commentary box and said it was up to the umpire to give him (failed to add unless you're Stuart Broad !)
Doesn't walk and takes every review possible but now he's facing Mitchell Johnson he's running off the pitch back into the Pavillion !
Yeh, hope he doesn't experience what Kerrigan did at the Oval
Wonder if it's a 'convenient' injury ?
a good example of why swann made the comments he made
what he said is maybe right but its pretty unprofessional to be slagging off an opponent like that when hes been hired as a commentator for the BBL imo
Wade was just out for 44 and he was interviewed on the boundary and when asked if he edged the ball (he was on 0 at the time) he said Yes, I might have scratched that one but I'm not walking !
Batsman hit the ball back to the bowler, Dilshan, who threw it at the stumps . Dave Hussey was out of his ground. The bails jumped up and lit up but they fell back into place so he was not out !,
Amazing
Cook, Root, Bell, Pieterson, Ballance, Borthwick,Stokes, Bairstow,Broad, Anderson,Rankin.
Are you sure it's not your B team ..:D?
Agree with the X1 but not the order
I better replace Anderson with Bresnan then.
Good Call
(at the very least he could replace Gooch as the Batting Boffin)

The fast bowler Boyd Rankin and the middle-order batsman Garry Ballance are also pushing for inclusion. If all three play, it will be the first time England have had three debutants in the same Test since Nagpur in March 2006 when Monty Panesar, Ian Blackwell and Alastair Cook all won their first caps.
2 of those have had good careers for England. Lets hope it's an omen
Cook
Carberry
Bell
Pietersen
Ballance
Bairstow
Stokes
Borthwick
Broad
Anderson
Rankin
Although with our selectors and the dynamic duo of Cook and Flower we'll pick the least logical team we possibly can with the squad we've got so who knows what we'll end up with.
Obviously they will persevere with Bairstow in trying to edge Prior out. Cooks interview pretty much said Prior is dropped for the long term. Incredibly, in T4 Cook appeared to be trying to prime Root as a main spin bowler.
Certainly no sign of any calf strain for Bairstow.
:rolleyes:
I'm not sure I want Borthwick playing. His prime role at Durham is batting so any reversing of that role for England is probably not such a good thing as far as Durham is concerned.
Australia were supposedly in disarray at the time whereas England were solid
tonight we could see England line up with just 4 of the side that played in the game , but Australia with 6 of theirs
