Ostensibly hilarious that the ICC have tried to rig the entire tournament to ensure India won and they’ve bottled the final. Never enjoyed an Australian cricket victory more.
I'm not saying it's the fault of the northerners per se, but after a summer where southern teams dominated the Royal London Cup, Hundred and T20 Blast we've taken essentially a squad full of northerners to the world cup and they've crashed and burned
The south is just better at cricket and they...
If you think I'm in any way praising any sort of Australian victory in any form of cricket under any circumstances then you're absolutely wrong.
There are standards which should be maintained.
I’m not sure it’s a great precedent to set that a batter is forced to be either timed out or face a delivery with a broken helmet. It might not matter much with Shakib bowling but Bumrah or Wood bowling could get very nasty.
I wonder if the rules will be tweaked as a result of this.
It was only two weeks ago that people were talking about Afghanistan beating England as being one of the greatest shocks in cricket history. Doesn’t look that way now, does it?
Awfully convenient that a few days ago people were saying that the last third of the group stage was looking like it would feature an awful lot of dead rubbers, and suddenly the ICC pull a new tournament (well, a rehashed old one) out of the hat to provide some extra context to the latter part...
