It’s Miller time……

Good win in the crash bang wallop cup for the South Africans. India need to put their fascination with Mankad away. Ashwin tried a little warning when it was unnecessary. Poor behaviour and it only seems to come from one country. Classless

I thnk they should rename Mankad to Ashwin.... Mankad might have done it once or twice in his life... Ashwin has made it into an art..

in ODI's or T20 games, when batsman tries the reserve sweep or switch hit should the LBW law be changed as the leg stump becomes the off stump?
That's a cracking point that gets brought up every so often. Personally, I'd say yes. The batsman has changed their set up, why should they retain the bonus of the pitch outside leg stump protection?

Personally I would make it that the leg side rule for LBW is removed for a reverse sweep. Ball can pitch anywhere and as long as it hits in line and is going on to hit then….see ya later champ.

Not sure on the weather forecast but it seems that the rain could be directly responsible for knocking out any of the top 4 in England's group now.

Wonder if Harsha is still drooling over Virats 50 off 37 balls lol, have a watch of Das innings and then let it rain :D

Have to laugh at commentators asking how accurate a rain radar is too!

shame there will be some negotiations going on in the rain break ;)
