The Cricket Thread

My dream would be to wake up and find Afg beat NL and Eng finally win one against the aussies... I want to see a WC table where Afg go ahead of Aus.. what a day that would be.

my only problem is that i trust Afg more than i trust the Poms to do the job..
 
Which bit of ‘avoid Indian heat by batting first instead of fielding’ did the dressing room not understand
 
The Pakistani guys did us a small favour by beating the kiwis, but losing JB first ball and then Root early has put us on the back foot yet again against the convicts, chasing 287 for victory , and a slim chance of getting to the semis.
 
Know this team have been shocking but Liam Livingstone is a massive disappointment and not international quality for me. Flat track bully who makes runs when it’s not imperative. Hasn’t closed out an international game for England under any sort of pressure. His bowling is not great either.

He’s fine in the IPL/Bash and Hundred.
 
Sri Lanka just had a batsman timed out without facing a ball 🫣
Came in but had a problem with his helmet and wasn’t ready within 2 minutes so got given out

Really odd situation as he was only "out" under the ICC playing conditions - the laws of the game only require that he cross the whitewash onto the field of play within the alloted time.
