Today was the fifth time in ODIs where a team had three centuries in an innings - RSA (3 times) and England (1) had done it previously. But today was the first of those five occasions where no one from the opposing side made 50 runs.

Australia's win by 276 runs is it's second-highest winning margin by runs in ODIs, behind the 309-run win v Netherlands in the World Cup in October 2023. The previous highest against a Test member was the 232-run win v SL in 1984-85. Previous highest v RSA was 141 runs, 2008-09.

Disappointing to see Aussie batters not taking the chance to consolidate their positions in the ODI team this month. Two consecutive scores of 190 not really good enough at this level. A bit of work to be done!.

Now 5-21….
Imran Tahir is remarkable. 46 years old, and creating havoc, playing for Guyana on the CPL. He’s ripped the middle out of Antigua’s lineup, currently has 3-10 off two overs.

The 257 days spanning the deaths of IRedpath, DRenneberg, KStackpole, RCowper and RSimpson is the shortest period a Test team (Aus v RSA in RSA, 1966-67) has lost five players.
