Two declarations in 20 minutes

[Cricketics]

Kudos to NSW and Tasmania players. After few days got ruined in their Sheffield Shield game, the captains decided to do quick declarations on the final day to make the game interesting.

 

NSW scored 440 odd in the first innings.  Tasmania meanwhile took the initiative after the interruption in play, declaring when they were just 4 down for 115 and then NSW followed the suit and declared after batting just 4 overs. 

 

Now Tasmania needs 350 in the remainder of the theday. Should be fun last day to watch as Tasmania will be going for the chase. Its coming live on the CA website if you want to watch

I still remember that fateful day.... Came home from tuition, couldn't believe my eyes.. surreal to see what was happening.. all the commies were praising Cronje to the moon.. and then to know that it was all fixed.. lol

England versus SA in SA.Hansie Cronje and Nasser Hussain were captains.SA declaration was mind boggling.Innings declaration has happened in county too.But those 2 declarations in SA versus England was a fiasco.

If the first 2 days of a test match are washed out, this should be required by the rule book.
