Viral Kohli just scored his 45th ODI century
In 257 innings
That's actually insane
The guys around him
Sachin 49 from 452
Ponting 30 from 365 -

Ponting 30 from 365Still averages under 50 in test cricket though. I’d pick Smith, Labuschagne, KW and Root over him in the format that counts.
Crikey, that’s a nice middle order !

Aus have decided not to play Afghanistan in the UAE because of the Talibans abuses of women's rights. Which is interesting because they just toured Pakistan, but I guess they have an "acceptable level of oppressing women" gauge and Afghanistan must have just tipped over the limit.

Hmmm... I do sort of understand politics / sports, but this doesn't seem right to me.
How many players in the Afghan team are Taliban?

@No-Quarter My immediate thought was - how convenient.

Poor old Michael Clarke. Finds himself the victim of Domestic Violence. He has already lost one contract and looks like losing a commentary gig in India as well. Imagine the outrage if this happened to a chick.

@Daffy-Jaffy I agree, never seen anything like it

NZC seems to tolerate the same old "high performance" staff and selectors making the same mistakes time after time with the White Ferns. You could make a decent top order out of players they've discarded early or forced into retirement. Their next trick will probably be to drop Sophie Devine for a kid still playing Riverbend.

Quite different this game, only the bangles but still, some aggressive, positive batting has led to the highest t20 score this tournament and Mazda being the first player to crack a grand in t20 rwcs with 81* off 61.
Green with a brilliant role, unlucky not to get a half tonne, ending up 44* off 20.
189/3.

They smack Sri Lanka by heaps - but, need the Bangles to tip over SA to make the semis.
Probably finding form too late.
Probably a mixture of form and the level of the opposition. Two good wins to finish pool play, but with the way the White Ferns operate it may (again) be used to gloss over the deeper issues. Still, there's a glimmer of hope if that Bangles pace bowler can knock over the SA top order.
