It was a run fest in the 2nd ODI between IND and WI in Guwahati overnight.
For only the 3rd time ever in over 5,000 ODIs, a 400 run plus total was successfully chased down.
The West Indies made 7/405 batting first, India overhauling that for the loss of only 2 wickets and more than 6 overs to spare!
Indian captain Shubman Gill made the 3rd highest ever ODI score with 223 not out. India also put on 255 for the first wicket.

I’m sure he won’t go wandering out of his crease here!
He can do it all he wants against the mighty Thunder.
India won both women’s and men’s T20 competitions at the Asian Games in Japan.
Western Australian cricket fans will get a rare chance to see England up close, with a WA XI to face the tourists in a 50-over warm-up match at the WACA Ground on Saturday 7 November.
The match will form part of England’s preparation for the opening ODI against Australia at Perth Stadium six days later.

I can’t say that surprises me… also the fact that Test matches rarely go the full 5 days anymore. Many are even lucky to see a 4th day.

Yes, and that’s even with abysmally slow over rates. If the over rates were up to scratch, we’d see quite a few more two day tests. This is probably why there’s been no concerted effort to speed over rates up in test cricket; it may actually be in everyone’s interest for even more torpidity to stretch games out.
It does create an odd dichotomy: batters playing the game in fast forward, whilst the fielding side pushes hard on the pause button.

The impact of T20 cricket. Batsmen dont have the patience and they play loose strokes.
The upside is we get results. Rare to see a draw these days

What an innings from Matt Renshaw in the 1st Test against South Africa scoring 190 in Australia’s total of 390.
In reply, SAF are 1/27 at stumps on Day 2.

Unbelievable. Showed so much patience. Left a lot of balls. He was on 16 when Cummins came out so he did it with the tail. Rotated the strike and turned down a lot of singles. Great to see a proper Test innings.
