LOL bye Australia
Australia koed before the semis
Leicestershire are chasing 464 and are basically collapsing at 144/6, their number 8 Louis Kimber comes out and hits 243 runs in 127 balls including 21 sixes and almost gets them over the line but they lose by just 18 runs. What on earth
Apparently there was a 43 run over in there too. Madness
43 run over was off Ollie Robinson.
Good to see him in form with Jimmy retiring...
His double hundred was the fastest first class double ever (100 balls)

Nathan Astle on steroids
The over:
That pitch in the first semi was a disgrace
klaasen is a scary ginger man
needed 26 off 26 with six wickets in hand
lost a wicket
froze
now need 21 from 14
south africa.
16 needed from the last over
That might be the greatest catch of all time in world cricket, given the situation / batter etc too.
This is the most SA match ever
they needed a run a ball coming into the 16th over and lost by seven runs
you should have to re-establish with both feet btw after stepping over the boundary line. current rule is bad
Kohli and Rohit retired from T20Is
Wonder if they would have retired from ODIs if they won last year.
Sir Jimmy doing his thing. 7-35 from 16 overs.
Unreal finish between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan.
Gloucestershire declare their second innings on 610-5, setting Glamorgan 593 to win.
Glamorgan all out for 592 on the last ball of the day/match.
Match tied
Looks like 10 dismissals and an unbeaten double hundred from Bracey
tied score one ball to go, so the batsmen are running whatever happens and i am guessing he took his right glove off so that he could throw the stumps down easier if it came through to him
ol' jimmy anderson opening the bowling for the last time... we'll miss him when he's gone :-(
Anderson still the best bowler in England..
I’ve never agreed with the ‘picking for the future’ argument and it’s extension the ‘can’t pick for xxx because he won’t be around for yyy’
Test caps should be earned. Pick the best players until they’re not the best and then pick the best replacement. Sure you can rotate for health/preservation reasons but cutting careers short isn’t something I agree with.
Jimmy basically the anti-Warner in that regard

Hard agree here, Jimmy still has a year or 2 left in him
