The Hundred Mens (3 August - 3 September 2022)

[NYRB]

feel like thats a pretty decent score batting first up at Lords

 

[NYRB]

Maxwell saved 2 runs on the boundary there

 

[NYRB]

Mason Crane takes an absolute ripsnorter of a catch

Make sure you watch that on Youtube if you get the chance

 

[NYRB]

Jordan Thompson bowls Madsen

Nice slower ball from him

 

[NYRB]

Thats 3 down

Excellent game so far from Mason Crane

 

[NYRB]

Their falling down like ten pins now.

Thompson with another .

 

[NYRB]

Dawson with an absolute deadly throw to get Big Druss

 

[NYRB]

I hate to say it but the Hundred is a better standard of cricket compared to the Big Bash

 

[NYRB]

Manchester Originals look like 1 trick ponies with only Jos Buttler their key batter

 

[NYRB]

Phil Salt is a fraude , 36 off 34 chasing 160 in this format

 

[NYRB]

When a team plays as badly as this, don't let them off with "ordinary". You can say it's really poor, they can hardly argue

 

[NYRB]

nice gesture of Lords to pay respect to Warne as well

 

[Westend]

really not interested

centre wicket practice for me

Southern Brave need 177 Runs off 100 balls to beat the Birmingham Phoenix to win game 8

 

[NYRB]

Will Smeed is getting an IPL contract next year. Wouldn't be massively surprised if he's a wildcard pick for England in the World Cup. On this form there's every chance he get in.
