Having slagged off cricketers for being unable to catch all my life watch as a proper one @robbieuthappa tries to make me eat my words.
More challenges to follow on ‘cricket gets Robbed’ for @The_CommBox

Illingworth doesn’t give Renshaw when he smashes the cover off it…
Set bat plays a daft shot to get himself out, door open for SA, Marco walks through it- the weaknesses of the sides creating a proper Test match
Englishman doesn’t give Renshaw on 49 when he looked stone dead, Kiwi doesn’t give Green out when the bloke catches him for 22.
Remember who they’re playing for lads, come on now.
Australia’s price has moved significantly (in their favour) overnight and their runline has gone up about 15, now 330.
Market reckons the new ball doesn’t do what Starc’s one does, or that Rabada/Marco don’t get it going.
Let’s see…
This is why you don't throw your wickets away on Day 1 of Test matches, particularly series deciders.
Get as many runs as you can and don't throw your wickets away when set. Can play daft shots when you're 500/4 and have earned the right.
Good one for Commbox hot takes, I don't think Abhishek is a power hitter at all, let alone better than CHRISTOPHER HENRY GAYLE you absolute maniac
Phillips proving once again that he's a bad fielder, despite having all the physical attributes of a really good one
If you like batting we have India and South Africa for you and if you hate it might I direct you to the Pakistan game
Remember that time I backed a Ballon d’Or winner to be golden boot in the prem at 1000/1 and he went odds-on and finished second
Was so excited I typed the actual percentages wrong, only been doing this 25 years
That game really did have everything- it also included one of the most boring hundreds in ODI history which we now know was orchestrated to give us the best drama imaginable.
Of course the 1000-1 gets up in Pakistan v England, they’ve been building to this for 50 years
Hats off to Gus Atkinson for flapping his butterfly wings and dropping the catch that helped create one of the best sports matches of all time.
Also bravo to the review system.
CHINNED FROM 250/1 AND 1000/1 IN SUCCESSIVE GAMES ENGLAND YOU ABSOLUTE LEGENDS
Sri Lanka were matched at 250.00 to beat England when they beat them the other day (0.004%).
Today Pakistan were matched at 1000 (0.001%).
This, in consecutive games. is unlikely to happen ever again, in any sport.
Magnificent innings Shadab.
