India home tests have been on alternative chanels for a while. i gave up sky a few years ago as it just wasnt worth it any longer, when you once got all away tests and SA, WI games too.

Young Aussie bowler Matthew Kuhnemann called out for suspect action AFTER the Sri Lanka series. The irony is not lost for those who have followed the sport long enuf to remember the noise around Murali in Australia. Now Aussies claim that he had been cleared by Aussies and that is good enuf

Is it just me or anyone else.. absolutely no interest in watching Champions Trophy. I simply don’t understand the point of an ODI format. Give me a proper Test match or a crash & wallop T20 with some beer..

Its a devalued competition - India having a tantrum about having to play in Pakistan and being accommodated took away the last veneer of credibility it had.

India playing Pak in Pak is like asking Zelensky to participate in Moscow games. There have been plenty of cases where politics gets in the way of sports. Eng did not tour SA and today looks like Eng & SA are threatening to not play against Afg because of women's right.
Leaving geo-politics aside, I was talking about the format.

I think 50 overs is a great format, some big hitting but still need to think about pacing your innings - something England can’t seem to do! Also, gives the bowlers a better chance of getting wickets unlike T20 where they are just cannon fodder in most games.

One day the ICC will stand up to the BCCI
Should have given India the simple choice
Play in the host country or forfeit the game
No different to when England refused to play in Zimbabwe
Will be a disgrace if India get to the final and then it’s not played in the host country
Would also remove the 2029 event from them

No chance sadly - no money in the game without India

I watched most of that game. England looked a bit old in the field. Rashid was very good, Carse had a mare and Archer was, 75% fit....again. Well played Duckett.

Shocking bowling towards the end by England. Short balls galore which were gifts for the batsmen to hit so many sixes. What has happened to the fast, or slower, yorker?

What does Livingston actually do… other than being a Poundland Pietersen

So England vs Afghanistan
Massive minefield of issues with the way the Afghan ladies are banned from playing any sport
ICC as per usual show zero bottle and leaving it to the countries
Think England and of course SA and Aus are in a No win situation
