The Cricket Thread

Some great home truths being expressed on the latest TMS podcast after England’s Men’s and Women’s teams have an unenviable record so far in 2025, played 17, won 1, lost 16.
I think it’s going to be played 18 lost 17 after today.
 
Well that was embarrassing while it lasted... atleast they could have put a show for Buttler's last rodeo..

Archer looks like a net bowler.. his pace is his downfall on this pitch. I am sure money on SA to win the cup - unless they find a way to choke again.
 
Watching the Ind v NZ on India’s JioHotstar app/tv… it has live viewership stats… currently showing 4.2m tuned into this inconsequential match (as both have qualified)
That does not include international feeds and other things. Money talks ..

It’s massive in India

And it’s also why the ICC continue to bend over backwards for them and allow them to get away with anything
 
So Pakistan spent some money on champions trophy and stadium renovations etc, then they exit and get 1 semi and now the final happening in Dubai!

They must be happy. I reckon the BCCi budget is bigger than Pak GDP
 
Steve Smith retires from ODI.... irrespective of whether you liked him or not.. he was different and immensely talented. He probably regrets sandpaper everyday..

 
to make sense of India v Pak rivalry…
Watch Greatest Rivalry - Ind v Pak on Netflix.. so many layers beyond cricket
