Yeah maybe Sobers is better then Ringo I'm willing to admit that. Despite being an aspiring statistician numbers are good but do not tell the whole story sometimes.

You've gotta love numbers. Yeah that looks really cool, but you can also see that they picked 12 wickets just so they could write an article.

None the less, he had a great tour and would have to be considered the best AR in test cricket at the moment.

the Poms are goin huuuge against South Africa

3-227 after 30 overs. Root just went out last ball of the 30th over

double the score after 30 with wickets in hand = a flowerin lot of runs

Only picked up 46 from the next 8 overs, pathetic :/

edit: 18 off the next over, nvm

Could we see another 434-438 game?

That team has got unlimited batting depth. Rashid st 9, Willey at 10!!

Watson just went for 1.98M in the IPL auction while no one bid on Khawaja  :o

[Ringo]

No ids for Mike Hussey, Haddin, Jayewardne and Hamish Amla. Could understand no bids for Bailey, Dunk and Bancroft

Conversley Mitch Marsh went for $1m maybe over the top.

Apparently James Taylor has been forced to retire due to a heart condition :-\

Was looking like a really promising player.

[Bill Manspeaker]

damn that sucks for him. I'll always remember him being ripped off scoring his first ever ODI century in the world cup. pretty sure he's scored at least one after that, but still. robbery! this is no good though :-\

So apparently Chris Gayle named his kid "Blush".  :o ;D
