Cricket related stuff that doesn't really deserve a thread

[Daemon]

Opposite of what I've seen in Aus. I didn't think his popularity could get any lower but I was dead wrong.

I hope he realises that these videos are in the cloud forever now

I thought it was doing damage too but the most recent one seems to have positive comments from the non Indian community too.

Previously most of the negative stuff was coming from the Indians as well.

In my eyes he's destroyed any alpha tendencies he had left

we don't dance, we stand in the corner and watch everyone else have fun and wish we were at the gym

Someone sent me this on whatsapp. Some are pretty easy but there are a couple of tricky ones.

Lara was 23 when he made his 277 in Australia, having only played 5 tests. His batting average at the start of the innings was 30. By the time the innings ended it was 57.

He looks like Carlos Brathwaite in this thumbnail.

one of my favourite things is the subcontinent cricketers with anglo profession names that crop up in cricket history, nari contractor and farokh engineer, just a bit of a historical quirk that i like

 

[Gnske]

Farokh Engineer is up there with the coolest names I've heard

 

[Shady Slim]

waiting for some domestic indian batsman to crop up for you named Rupi Archaeologist

Jock Cameron is still the most alpha name in cricketing history.

Any discussion about cool names is incomplete without Napoleon Einstein

Needs a better video to celebrate the great Prince's birthday. He posted something on IG about what Kaneria was saying to him after that first ball he defended.

Watched that video only a few days back. Those sixes were enormous.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I believe I saw this live.
Or was it the Robin Peterson over?....

Never seen that one before. Love how Kaneria follows up the sledge with a horrendous long hop.

Here's a Lara 221 against the Sri Lankans in that 688 series:

 

[mr_mister]

that series was just ridiculous.

top scored for his side in 5 of the 6 innings and in 4 of those innings scored around half the team total individually.

The next 3 most runs for the Windies that series were 318 for Sarwan, 167 for Hooper and 104 for Ganga. Essentially a one man show

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I believe he scored around 65% of the total team runs that series.
