Typos galore, humanist

@imVkohli @BCCI I still hope that Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ishan Kishan and Washington Sundar are picked for SA tests. It will be another blunder like WT20. Nobody to bat at 7. Can't trust Pujara, Rahane, Ishant & Saha in SA. Even Mayank & Shreyas have issues vs pace, bounce & swing.

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@CricketTrend309 Not sure in T20Is.. Red ball, yes.. (though I still have to see Kushagra vs high quality pace)..

[The Armchair Critic @DArmChairCritic]

@SamRoy84 How would you replace him? I don't think you are going to get 10 from Jacks. Maybe Bethell can chip in with a few when he is back, but still not reliable. Overton can't be a no. 7 in ODIs. Would you have Dawson at 7?

[Yaswanth @yash91112]

@DArmChairCritic @SamRoy84 Bethell,Banton,Root,Brook,Buttler
Jacks,Carse,Overton,
Archer,Rashid,Tongue

Atkinson as 7,8 backup

Pratika Rawal was laid off for 7 months due to her foot injury and she is still the 4th highest run getter in Women's ODI since her debut just behind Mandhana, Matthews & Wolvaardt.

27 innings
1289 runs
47.74 RPI
8 fifties
3 hundreds
154 highest

@Fancricket12 What an unbelievable memory...

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@yash91112 @DArmChairCritic Yes, they will but he may not play every game unless he is bowling well. Even if he is bowling well, sometimes may sit out to manage his shoulder.

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

Yay! Sam Curran garland time!! Congrats on a 9 over 100... I am so happy... He has the smarts to be effective in T20Is..ODIS: "Maro, maaro, aur maaro"..

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@6worldcups @ChatilPandi Both teams did once each in two tests. SA bottom 5 in next game may be one of the strongest in 21st century. And their top 6 has plenty of issues as does Aus.

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@yash91112 @DArmChairCritic Rashid's bowling has weakened. He can be 10 or 11 or sit out on some days. On slow pitches, Dawson can be 7 too. Tongue doesn't have to play all ODIs, neither does Archer. Rotate. But between Carse & Dawson, Overton & Atkinson & Archer they can cover 7-10 on many days.

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@CricketTrend309 I will pick Rizwan as one of the two WKs.

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@DArmChairCritic I think Carse, Overton, Atkinson & Archer or at least 3 out of 4 collectively have to fulfill batting responsibilities of 7,8,9. If you play all 4 from 7-10 as a group they *might do the job.

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@DArmChairCritic I think Carse was slightly better than Overton as a batter, right?

[Sam Roy @SamRoy84]

@ArjunM1412 @ColinRicha53474 @Fancricket12 Well, issue is, he is a bowling all-rounder who will average 22-27 with bat.

[Bharath Ramaraj @Fancricket12]

Check how much this ball from Warne turned in 1996-97 in Sydney. And look at the rough patches. The best part of AUS used to be they had a variety of decks. @sas_3343

@CricketTrend309 Also, check Amir's T20I numbers on ESPNcricinfo. Legitimately under-rated. Economy 7.3 even in '24. King of escaping punishment. Legitimate top 10 T20I pace bowling contender.

[Bharath Ramaraj @Fancricket12]

Sumit Antil has won one more Gold Medal; this time at the Asian Para Games. He is almost invincible in his Javelin category. It is high time that we think of him as one of the finest sportspersons from India. 👏

Oh! He came so close to breaking the 75 m mark at the Kanteerava.

Harry Brook hits only the second double hundred by a non-opener in ODIs after Glenn Maxwell's knock vs Afghanistan
