Too bad it was off a blatant no ball (that was allowed because they need to include that catch in the IPL highlights reel).

Meanwhile, Bangladesh convincingly thumped Pakistan in three consecutive games to take the series 3-0.

Devilliers and Du Plessis currently hitting a steady stream of sixes off Indian spinners. 330/2 in 42 overs. To paraphrase The Thick of It, "like a lion raping a sheep."

Edit: Faf is so cramped he's collapsing to the ground in agony after every six. The physio ran out to the field three times in one over.

2 sixes in a row by De Villiers after Faf retired hurt. 367/2 in 45. I'm pretty sure SA is going to end up with a 400+ score.

What possible use would that be. Come to think of it what use are numbers in ODI and T20 uniforms? To make it look more like American sports?

In all the hundreds of hours of cricket I have watched in my life I can't think of a single time when they referenced the shirt numbers. Maybe once in the IPL or some other T20 league as a trivia fact for like 20 seconds.

Bangladesh just won the Under 19 world cup, beating India. Bangladesh bowled and fielded magnificently, stumbled in the chase, but made it in the end. I'm ecstatic. There's kids in this under 19 team that are literally better in every way than some of the mainstays in the men's team.

Also for some reason Japan had a team for this Under 19 tournament (they finished dead last). None of your Namibias or Netherlands or Irelands came to this tournament but Japan played. How I wish I had seen one of their games.
