Speaking of big hitting…….
Here is the scorecard when Lance Cairns went ballistic.
Not sure a player with such a modest batting record has EVER had such an aura…..
Check out the strike rates of some of the guys in front of him ? Fuck me, no wonder he had a slog, they were batting like Geoffrey Boycott in a sedate mood batting for a draw…..Coney with two runs off 23 balls, what the FUCK Jezza ?

By that stage they were desperately trying to not lose anymore wickets.
They were fuck all for heaps chasing what may have well been a billion (yeah, ok they chased 29summat a few weeks earlier v England, but thus was the first time anyone had hit 3-hundy.
Cricket had yet to develop the "oh fuck it" mindset, because white ball was still pyjama cricket,and one did not throw one's wicket away.
Was a depressing watch as a young teenager regardless of Cairns.

Wow, Bangladesh get their first win over Pakistan. Given their history, I'd imagine there's a fair amount of feeling there.
Pakistan started day 5 at 23/1, trailing by about 70 odd, and barely even made Bangladesh bat again (they ended up needing to chase 30). I was sure that was going to meander to a dull draw.

Holy shit. India went bananas against the Bangles. Days 2 and 3 got rained out, so they rolled Bangladesh for 233 early on Day 4. Then in 34 overs scored 285 runs! That's insanity

India in trouble in the women's T20 against our girls.
