Bangas win the toss and field.

Bangas win the toss and field.

When will captains ever learn?

WG Grace was stated- ‘If you when the toss and it looks perfect bowling conditions, stop look up at the cloud cover reconsider and bat anyway!’

Loved it. In all my years as Captain I don’t think I ever bowled first after winning the toss.

[DOC]

Love it.

Chappeli's take on was win the toss 100 times. bat first 99 times, think about bowling the other time then bat anyway.

I watched this morning he was given out twice LBW in the same over!

[Armchair expert]

If Latham is scoring runs its a flat deck and average bowling

One would suggest at 1/292 it's probably both

think they were sent in as well

My son flicked it over to the Banga's game. Fast bowler steams in, opener nicks it to second slip, it's dropped by second slip, goes almost to the boundary where the fine leg sweeps around, picks it up and throws it to the keeper. The keeper realises the batter is out of his ground and pings it at the non strikers end and misses the stumps. Problem, there is no one backing up. The opening bowler runs toward the boundary where the ball beats him to the rope.

All in all, a 7 off of one legal ball. I can't say in all my time I've ever seen that happen before at this level.

Imagine being the bowler. Gets a catch dropped which goes for 3, only to be turned into a 7 AND having to field the ball off the rope yourself.

They've since just given another overthrow 4 away. The same opening bat had two scoring shots after lunch. A nick through slips for 7 and a quick dab into the mid wicket position for 5

There was one in Amazing Adelaide late in the day. Michael Clarke from memory. On drive, fielder met the rely at mid-on and pinged it to the keeper who missed it. Thing was, in a close, overs-wise, runchase it had been a maiden over up until then.

Bangladesh went at 3.87 RPO but they actually bowl 90 overs in the day showing it is possible!

TDK how highly do you rate Conway?

Has an amazing FC record since moving to NZ & seems to be dominating at all international levels from limited matches. He is going to fly up the test batting ranking IMO.
