Ya i play cricket here in the states. Actually we have two leagues in our area. I play in this league called, Bay Area Cricket Alliance. Our season is just about to start, i can't wait. But that was too much, i dont like England.

I only watch the 1 day games. My attention span for cricket doesn't stretch to 5 days.

86.3 Caddick to Astle, SIX, UNBELIEVABLE! *speechless stuff* down the
track to a full ball outside off stump, sends it a country mile
over long on, an almighty hit of biblical proportions
time for another replacement ball it seems, that one's out lost
too, this new new ball lasts only 1.4 overs this time
Hussain talks to the umpires, heaven knows what about, and drinks

are taken
86.2 Caddick to Astle, SIX, UNBELIEVABLE! Astle is in sensational
form,
short rising ball, hooks this one over square leg, very flat but

all the way, wide of the man posted just behind square
86.1 Caddick to Astle, SIX, UNBELIEVABLE! charges down the track,
picks
a ball on the up and smacks it hard and flat over extra cover,
barely off the ground all the way, his sixth six

HOLLY SHIT HE"S ON FIRE
:rocket: :flamer: :eshooter: :badass: :aug2: :greenchai

89.1 Flintoff to Astle, SIX, UNBELIEVABLE! down the track again to a
fair length ball, turns it into a half volley and sends it packing
miles and miles over wide long on, up into the DB Draught Stand

89.3 Flintoff to Astle, FOUR, shot! overpitched outside off stump,
another attempted yorker, powerfully driven through extra cover,
bisects two in the outfield, two short of the world record fastest
century

89.5 Flintoff to Cairns, FOUR, overpitched outside off stump, sweetly
driven through extra cover, wonderful shot
124 to win now, that number has shrunk incredibly in the last hour


90.1 Giles to Astle, one run, and he's done it! one of the most amazing
Test knocks you're every likely to see, flighted up full down the
leg side, swept down to fine leg, brings up his maiden Test double
century from 153 balls, 27x4, 9x6
the fastest Test 200 in history, obliterating Adam Gilchrist's
record of 212 balls, Astle's last 100 taking just 39 balls, yes,
that's right, THIRTY NINE balls

Yea its great shit we need 106 to win and we are 444/9!!!!!!!!!!! go the Black Caps

91.1 Hoggard to Astle, SIX, UNBELIEVABLE! Hoggard tries to bounce him,
but Astle still takes him on, hooking over square leg, another big
one and it climbed a bit much for him, and that's the 100
partnership off just 55 balls
Astle also breaks the record for most sixes in a Test innings by a
New Zealand batsman, his batting partner being the former holder

Hoggard returns, replacing Flintoff at the Port Hills End
Current Partnership: 111 runs, 9.2 overs, RR: 11.89

And he is out its all over england win by 99 runs

[JasIzBac]

this guy is CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYY (I LOVE IT)

93.1 Hoggard to Astle, SIX, UNBELIEVABLE! down the track to a fullish
ball, half volley and sends it a mile over long on, his 11th six,
now just one short of equalling that world record held by Wasim
Akram

BLOODY HELL. But i bow down to Astle. I want to see this inings so badly. Is there anyway you can get the video of the whole test match for me? i'll pay you for the vid and everything. Damn. I saw the VVS Laxman 281 against Australia. That was a GREAT inings too. I'm from India so natually i love Sachin, hes fun to watch, especially against Australia, i think he has something personal against them, cuz he always rapes them. Hey i have this vid of Ganguly hitting massive sixers on my webiste http://jasizbac.tripod.com/main.htm check it out if u have time. it's not that clear, but oh well.
