[Gunner786]

maybe, maybe not,
but afridi did it against murali,jaya and co

nowadays a batsman gets man of the hour awards for just managing to hit murali for 1 six

I'll youtube the highlights package. Maybe in a few days.

Please do it! What a thrashing! Did he get the fastest ever half century?

he got his of 19 balls, i think the fastest is 17 but im not sure.

 

[sohum]

The fastest ever half-century in ODI cricket is Sanath Jayasuriya's 17-baller against Pakistan.

The fastest ever, I'm not sure, but I'd think Yuvraj Singh's 12-ball accomplishment against England in the Twenty20 World Cup may possibly be it.

On further verification, it is almost certain that Yuvraj Singh shares this accomplishment with K Weeraratne who scored a 50 off 12 balls in a List A match in Sri Lankan Domestic Cricket, according to Cricinfo. They didn't have figures for fastest First Class 50s--though I'd doubt someone would beat it.

You can score fastest 50 in 9 deliveries minimum and Yuvi did it in 12 balls. Awesome.

Also he did it when there was no fielding restrictions in place. All other fastest 50's are in opening 15 overs in ODI when there are only 2 outside the ring.

LOL! The first wicket fell at 70, it was Kaluwitharana who got a duck and only faced 11 balls. Lol!

 

[King Pietersen]

What a performance from NZ, to score 95 in 6 overs is amazing, great bowling from Vettori aswell. What a performance.

 

[Skater]

Holy crap, thats savage. Stupid Sky Sports not being able to screen it.

Sky Sports couldn't afford to show this series as well as Australia v India and South Africa v West Indies. There is highlights at 4.00pm on Sky Sports HD1 (not in high definition).

Can't afford it my arse!! More like they didn't want to show it. If Sky wanted something that badly, they would get it.

 

[Animator!]

Exactly. They just prioritised screening South Africa Vs The West Indies over this one day game. Tbf, it makes sense, there's been an awful lot of ODI's on sky in the past month or two so they naturally went with more tests to keep the fans happy.

 

[Jaztheman]

I'm in shock at the score...

They are also going to be doing more County Championship games when the season starts from what I heard.

Okay, back to topic.

 

[0601731]

a very inept performance by bangladesh,they didnt even put up a semblance of a fight.

 

[Cricketman]

Two words sum up the entire game.

Total Owange.

 

[irottev]

There are highlights on youtube from someone else, saves me doing it.

I have mixed feelings about the test side they picked.

Matthew Bell,
Craig Cumming,
Mathew Sinclair,
Stephen Fleming,
Peter Fulton,
Brendon McCullum (wk),
Daniel Vettori,
Chris Martin,
Michael Mason,
Kyle Mills,
Iain O'Brien,
Jacob Oram.

Okay, first off, openers. I'm thrilled they picked Bell after his good form. Will be refreshing to see him have another crack. Cumming was an alright choice, but How is pretty unlucky to miss out. I'm glad they picked on domestic 4 day form over How's OD form for Bell though. I'm not convinced Cumming has played enough cricket yet. I guess Dunedin being his home ground helped him cause.

Iain O'Brien is terrible. He's utterly useless. Why wasn't Andre Adams picked? My only guess is because he refused to tour SA for the One Day games.

Thirdly, i'm glad Styris and Taylor don't get a spot. They didn't deserve one.
