Richie Benaud, former Australian captain, and immensely respected commentator, passed away overnight. He was 84 years old. #RIPRichie
He was the voice of cricket for me, everpresent every summer since I was a kid. Will be sadly mised.

Pakistan vs Zimababwe has just begun...

Pakistan are playing their first home match for roughly 7 years.

Smashed it all over the place

In other news ... I just came across this clip on FB.... for a momwnt I got happy thinking PAK had unearthed another bowling gem. Only to realise it's from an earlier tournament

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=863886320357236&set=vb.210590385686836&type=2&theater

But those early wickets were crazy. Never have I seen a bowler swing it from that far out and hit the wicket.

Sanga has retired. The last of the greats of my childhood, and my personal favourite.

Retiring with 12400 runs and a 57.40 average in test cricket, highest from the 10000+ club and 5th highest ever

Special shout out to South Africa, managing to blow a 220 total to fucking England

Pakistan losing to India, Proteas choking, Sri Lanka losing finals and Australia winning it in the end, cricket

We pulled an Arsenal

I remember Umar Akmal could smash few years back... now he bats like Ramiz Raja.

They had to get 2 runs in 3 balls, with two set batsmen, and they managed to lose 3 wickets in those 3 balls

Idiotic batting, they tried to go for the hero shots instead of what would've been easy singles or twos

Looked very suspicious really. Long delay after the 3rd ball as well.

It'd be stonewall if it was Pakistan.

Rumors: they got bribed

Belly feeling: outclassed by India

Ahh so close to a massive England choke. Oh well.

Good effort from SL with only one half-crocked batsman. I foresee relegation to associate nation in their future.
