[speedking]

Aussies are struggling against sheer pace and spin

[Chief Destroyer]

You can expose Australia technically but never count out their mental strength. Incredible fight back.

 

[TestMatch]

This is amazing.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Might be an all time comeback and one of the greatest all round performances if Stoinis can pull this off.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

This is why Shield cricket is the best in the world. It might not be preparing players technically as it used to in the past but the mental strength and character it builds is very evident in all Australian players.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Can I also say that Williamson is a terrible captain.

 

[Sin Nombre]

And Starc throws it away. Poor.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Starc...

 

[TestMatch]

And Starc throws it away. Poor.

Oh my, Starc's ruined an epic climax.

 

[TestMatch]

Stonis is playing like Bevan. This is a Bevanesque knock.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Take a bow son, take a bow. What a knock.

 

[160KPH]

Just following the scorecard but this is one of the greatest 100s I've seen in a while.

 

[Sin Nombre]

KW knows Stonis will take a single on the last ball and doesn't bring the field in. Excellent captaincy.

 

[160KPH]

And a single off the last ball!

 

[angrypathan]

Unbelievable innings this

 

[Sin Nombre]

He is the first ever Australian to take three wickets and hit a hundred in an ODI.

In his second match.

With Australia 55/5 chasing almost 290.

Ridiculous.

6/67

 

[angrypathan]

That miss was ridiculous

 

[Ellipsism]

Just checked the scorecard, how can a player of Stoinis's calibre score a ODI century is beyond me, NZ must have been bowling filth to him.

This guy can't score runs to save his life at domestic level.

 

[TestMatch]

This guy can't score runs to save his life at domestic level.

He made a 170 recently.

This is great strike farming, rotation and big hitting. This is a mature-mature piece of batting here.

 

[Sin Nombre]

KW drops Stoinis and now misses the easiest of chances to get him run out.

 

[jog_1]

What an innings if he can take them home.

 

[TestMatch]

If he pulls this off, this is the best ODI knock I've seen in a long long time.

 

[Xoib]

the bloke averages 25 in list A at a SR of 71.Shows what domestic averages mean.

I've watched the guy bat countless times for Victoria and more often then not he looks lost batting.

Well, props to Stoinis.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Clearly missing.

Pretty poor stats. What was Steve Smith's avg like domestically before blossoming internationally?

 

[angrypathan]

Overall probably not too amazing but pretty sure he scored a lot of runs in the Shield season leading up to his recall

was averaging around 55.

Stoinis for the most part looks like a paper tiger when he comes out to bat for Victoria in the Matador Cup.

Haven't watched him play Shield Cricket but his statistics don't inspire much.

 

[angrypathan]

If Australia lose from here it would just be cruel, one of the ATG innings from Stoinis

 

[TestMatch]

I like how Stoinis is bullying his batting partners, dictating when they run. What a debut.

 

[Sin Nombre]

50 run partnership and Hazlewood is yet to face a ball. lol.

 

[angrypathan]

Oh my goodness, Hazlewood

 

[Ellipsism]

I like how Stoinis is bullying his batting partners, dictating when they run. What a debut.

This isn't his debut...

He played against England in England in 2015

 

[angrypathan]

Cricket is a cruel game

 

[TestMatch]

Nooooooooo.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Hazlewood.

 

[Xoib]

Stoinis for the most part looks like a paper tiger when he comes out to bat for Victoria in the Matador Cup.

must be picked on just pure potential his stats don't look much with either bat or ball maybe we could have done something similar with Hammad.

 

[jog_1]

Wowwwwwwwww.

Aus fans are gonna be salty.

 

[160KPH]

I hate Hazelwood so much now. This was a dream chase and perfect batting he had one damn job

 

[Sin Nombre]

Useless Hazlewood.

Useless Starc.

Poor Stoinis misses out on probably the greatest ODI knock of all time.

 

[Xoib]

Useless Hazlewood.

Useless Starc.

Poor Stoinis misses out on probably the greatest ODI knock of all time.

it still is

 

[160KPH]

Would've been the greatest knock of all time. Hazelwood and Starc are patethic

 

[TestMatch]

Useless Hazlewood.

Useless Starc.

Poor Stoinis misses out on probably the greatest ODI knock of all time.

Yeah, it's funny how such little things result in great knocks like this being suddenly thrown into the waste basket of history. Really ticked off at Starc and Hazlewood now.

 

[pinger]

Lol, fell at the last hurdle

 

[Ellipsism]

No, Stoinis is the only other pace-bowling all rounder in Australia apart from Faulkner and Marsh.

He isn't rated highly by many in Australia.

 

[160KPH]

I feel so sad for Stonis. Probably the best innings I've ever seen chasing.

 

[RamLakhan]

You can expose Australia technically but never count out their mental strength. Incredible fight back.

Absolutely! If there is one team in the history which never chokes & fights till last ball it has to be "Australia" exactly opposite to South Africa!

 

[Sin Nombre]

it still is

It is a bilateral jamodi. Those are mostly forgotten.

This would be recalled for ages if he would have won it. All it needed was Hazlewood to not stupidly get run out.
