Kim Jong-un saves North Korean innings with top score of 807*
The Korean leader broke his own personal record of 700 not out in the process.


The supreme leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has paved the way for a North Korean victory on day two of their test match against Cuba in Pyongyang yesterday. The 32-year-old scored a quick-fire 807 not out in the last session of the day’s play, putting the Koreans in the drivers seat at 2/1276 overnight.

Prior to his brilliance with the bat, Kim Jong-un took the three key wickets in the Cuban top order. Switching up from his usual slow left-arm chinaman deliveries, the Korean leader brought everything to the table in the first Cuban innings. Halfway through an over, he decided to switch his bowling arm. The bold move paid off for Kim, as his leg-spin proved to be as effective as his left-armed bowling.

Nobody in the Cuban team was able to pick his wrong-uns, cementing Jong-un as one of the most talented spin bowlers in the world today. The Cuban captain himself said, after being bowled around his legs by a magical leg break delivery that drifted and turned hard out of the rough, that the world leader was a force to be reckoned with in world cricket.

“He bowls like the best and bats like he’s the Bradmon [sic],” said Cuban captain Javier Ojeda Ortiz. “He chooses good areas with the ball and hit us all over the park. True Bradmon.”

Speaking from the DPRK change rooms, Kim was buoyed by his team’s success against a tough outfit, but was quick to quell any suggestion that he was the standout.

“I was just lucky on the day,” said Jong-un. “My encyclopaedic knowledge of the Cuban weaknesses came to fruition. I’d like to thank my lieutenants for bowling to me in the nets all week. Very subtle game of cricket.”

“As all my countrymen know, Cuba are the best cricketing nation in the world. We are hoping to finish this job in time for me to take a Concorde to London and help our rugby side take home the Web-Ellis”

The Koreans resume tomorrow on 2/1276 with the Cubans staring down the daunting task of chasing down a projected total of 27800 runs before Friday.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

ten cricket

looks like a 2-1 bashing....

@ killercow :imagine if a big gun side play Cuba...

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Windies 2-1 defeat looking very real at the moment.

[Dizzy28]

I called the innings defeat from day 1. And I forgot to mention that once I saw Herath's name on the team sheet I knew he would be the one to do all the damage. Sri Lanka was lucky he was there to fill the gap left by Murali.

windies cricket what a waste.

Yeah but too bad for SL he's already 37...doesn't have much longer to go before retirement.

[racedriverpro]

Can the windies salvage pride in this series?

Highly improbable.

ODI between S/Africa and India going good

[Dizzy28]

Just when you think things can't go even more wrong for the WI...........

Marlon Samuels, the West Indies allrounder, has been reported for a suspect bowling action during the first Test against Sri Lanka. He will be required to undergo a testing process within 14 days, but he can continue to bowl in international cricket until the results are known.http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lanka-v ... 30385.html

[racedriverpro]

Steups...how else WI will get batsmen out?

Virender Sehwag has officially retired from international Cricket........

Brilliant Career mate!!

[meccalli]

Sehwag may not have exited gracefully, but there wasn't a bowling attack he couldn't dismantle if he got his eye in from ball 1. Probably one of the most brutal batsmen out there with the likes of langer, gibbs, jayasuria and gilchrist. Difference is it didn't matter if it was test or odi.

[racedriverpro]

^^^ hopefully all them good players retire so WI would win more matches.

However unlike WI Sehwag, Dravid and Laxman were replaced by Kohli, Sharma, Dhawan.

WI still haven't found replacements for Greenidge and Haynes

[racedriverpro]

^^ hopefully them replacements retire too.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

second test begins soon

another 2-1 defeat in the air

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Windies actually in control of the day's play thus far....next thing is a good bowling wicket and windies real struggle to make the runs

[trent]

Much better performance with the ball so far...Warrican gets 4 wkts on debut...improved performance in the fielding also.
Let's hope the batting don't let us down.

[Dizzy28]

WI batting is the bigger worry than their bowling..if Warrican could take 4 wickets on this pitch Herath should be a handful tommorow.

[Country_Bookie]

Well at least we've already avoided the follow on. No innings defeat this time!!

Windies getting bowled out tomorrow.

[equipped2ripp]

SL made 200, there is no follow-on.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

at least I was right about windies batting....

[Fuzzle]

The Red Steel would put up a better showing than this Windies team
