2019 Cricket

I pay any day to watch Bhoomra bowl..

On the other side the 2 kiwi wickets by Cottrell were brilliant.

Are we seeing the minnows play without fear?? That will make them dangerous

likewise, massive Bumrah fan, in a game short of superstars bowlers (partly through the imbalance between bat and ball) him, Starc, Archer are real box office

 

[Mudball]

Were seeing Kohli think hes above the laws again continuing to argue a decision given not out by the 3rd umpire i know that. Aleem Dar struck off the BCCI approved list too lol

Does not matter.. as a Pakistani, he can’t play in India anyways .. as you would notice no Pakistani participation in IPL either..

 

[fundy]

Kohli cant have any match fee left here surely (no one else would if they had behaved like him!)

And Bumrah strikes

 

[Mudball]

pak Supporters trying to link to the Afg got trolled .. they forgot that the Afg guys train in India

 

[fundy]

getting interesting this, India burnt most of their spin overs, if Afghans get hold of Shami they get very close, Kohli gonna have to turn to Bumrah again soon

 

[fundy]

Hard to believe how patronising and one sided the commentary has been at the end of this chase, embarrassing stuff from sky and the pairing of comms

 

[fundy]

Stunning effort from Afghanistan and especially Nabi, to think some dont even think they should be in the tournament! They'd have got there if Bumrah wasnt so good too!

Don't blame Sky, they only broadcast the coverage provided by the ICC's chosen production company; Sunset and Vine I believe.

This extends to the choosing of commentators.

How else do you explain the truly dull Alison Mitchell getting a gig.

No Sky only get to use their own chosen team for their post match highlights package.

ICC want commentators from all over the cricketing world, hence whiny Michael Clarke.

Brilliant from Afghanistan- gutted for them that they just fell short , Bumrah was the key man. Such a shame.
ICC would have exploded if India had lost and I’m sure Kohli will expect his fine for his actions towards umpire around about now 🙄

Dont get me wrong, plenty of shockers on Skys rota but to have Sanjay and his sidekick on for the last 10 overs, patronising the Afghans and so biased towards India it was beyond ridiculous. If thats what the Indian audience want then so be it but keep it for your own coverage!

Annoying the TMS coverage is so far behind when on digital not LW

 

[fundy]

Shame WI got such a long tail today (Lewis injured and no Russell), huge onus on Gayle and Hetmeyer (and the skipper)

Like there is that much difference these days between the ICC and BCCI!

Been that way for far too long sadly

What a last over by Shami .. hat trick
Though the reality was that it was all down to Bhumra.. so good to see him become MoM.

Re commentary.. I think it also depends on which countries are playing.. so Manjrekar for India and folks like Akram for Pak, Atherton for England etc.. overall fairly average

The guys a massive bell end but nothing will be done about it as the bcci are too powerful

 

[anotherdouble]

Can't see it. Seen by many as a talisman but a duck today and a lack of runs overall should see him dropped but it would be a brave call

Homer old buddy is that Gayle I see in the middle against New Zealand. I would hate for you to ever disappoint the crowds😜👍

No there's only one team of commentators per match for English language.

Th other languages used for commentary are, I believe, Hindi and Urdu. Obviously there's a smaller pool of commentators available for those.

They were never going to drop him. Simply a reference to their over reliance on him and the fact for the large part recently he's not always delivered. Better today but I fear in a losing cause
