    Cricinfo’s servers are cactus.

    By Scott 2 years ago, at the start of February, Comments

    India are playing Pakistan, as I noted.. and I can’t access cricinfo at all just now. I saw that they were selling radio streaming, so I guess that must have been more successful then they thought.

    Buy more servers, you guys!

    India made 328, with Sachin Tendulkar making 100.

    This is very annoying for me as I was about to write a post about South Africa’s match against Sri Lanka tomorrow with some interesting facts that I found on Statsguru!

    Update- Wow, Pakistan won!

    Must have been an interesting game. They are showing highlights on television tomorrow in Australia and I will make a note to see it. Sachin Tendulkar went past 14,000 ODI runs in his innings, the game itself was decided by the Duckworth Lewis method when the light got too bad, and Inzamam was given out obstructing the field!

    Who ate all the pies?

    Don’t look at me about the poll, it’s all Will’s idea. I have to admit it is a bit vague. It depends on what they are fighting about. If they are fighting over food, you just have to put your money on Inzy.

    No more Ian Botham pitch reports, please!

    By Scott 3 years ago, at the end of November, Comments

    So in response to England’s 288, Pakistan are 4 for 185. Flat batting track, huh? Thanks for nothing, Beefy.

    And add to that, Inzamam has retired hurt and is off having x-rays. I’ve not seen any news as yet as to how bad the injury is, or whether or not he can resume his innings tomorrow.

    I think honours are about even here, and neither side has taken a clear advantage. Mohammad Yousuf needs to kick on, and the lower order need to help him. I saw a couple of deliveries in the latter part of the day that kept low, so I think Pakistan will need a first innings lead, the more the merrier.

    Inzamam’s 22 hundreds

    By Will 3 years ago, at the start of June, Comments

    Inzamam’s 22nd hundred was scored just yesterday (stats here), and the Pakistani commentator on Sky Sports (not sure who) reckons that 17 of Inzy’s hundreds have been match-winning. Quite remarkable statistic, and will soon be 18. I know Graham Thorpe has had a similar “rock-like” affect on England, but not nearly as stark or dramatic as Inzamam. What a player. What an athlete!
