No Bhuvi either

This is game on alright

by S Sun 16 Jun - 18:18:53

What a ball ffs

Warne-esque delivery from Kuldeep

by RealGunner Sun 16 Jun - 18:19:49

What a ball. That spin ffs

by Nishankly Sun 16 Jun - 19:06:19

The only thing I respect about this sport is how often the game changes hand.

by S Sun 16 Jun - 19:11:28

What a collapse !

Although this round robin format is pretty refreshing to see and this world cup is kind of nice(despite the rains), the real competition will only begin in the semis lol. The gulf in class between the top 4 teams and the rest is big. Never in doubt really even when WI was showing fake form and Pak somehow beat Eng.

You're fake form Glory.

^^^^^lmaooooo when did that happen?

by S Mon 17 Jun - 19:08:59

What an absolute mauling

Some quite magnificent batting by Bangladesh

Litton Das looks like a quality emerging player for them. Shakib has already been great as it is. Player of the tournament so far.

by Nishankly Mon 17 Jun - 19:09:13

Today, Oshane missed his shot and in an effort to recreate it, the big man knocked out the bails behind.

Was not out since it was treated as an isolated incident off the ball as the shot was completed.

Absolutely hilarious.

I can't fault them, this has been some excellent fking batting from @m99 and iftikhar. Proper beating and I tip my hat. Mostly because it's Bangladesh and I have not a single beef with them. Everyone else can eat a dick tbh.

Splendid fking innings. Well done, honestly well done.

Yo am not hating on WI, have massive respect for Lara when I watched cricket in 2003

by Doc Mon 17 Jun - 19:44:13

I would like to think most of the cricketing teams have respect for one another but, you know, banter and rivalry needs to be addressed first and foremost. Sigh, not in a good mood about this but W.I was either gonna make me believe in hope and dreams or shit up my day.

The latter was clearly the only option. False form indeed.

by Nishankly Mon 17 Jun - 19:48:44

My Jamaican friend is happy Oshane scored more than other players, you can do the same for TnT (dynaaaamittteeee gettit?)

Where is ShivNarayan Chandrepaul fffss, man has 2 Indian gods in his name

by RealGunner Mon 17 Jun - 19:58:47

My boy Shakib ffs. What a magnificent performance.

by S Tue 18 Jun - 14:44:27

Eoin Morgan playing EA Sports Cricket 07

17 sixes ffs

World record

by Jay29 Tue 18 Jun - 18:21:04

Morgan could barley run because of a bad back, so he just stood there smacking it out the ground instead.

Afghanistan aren't doing too badly in the chase. They're not going to get close, but they're only three down and can give the final ten overs a good go.

England's fielding needs to improve if they're going to win this World Cup. Think they've dropped the most catches in the tournament so far.

by RealGunner Tue 18 Jun - 19:52:11

MORGANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

ffs didn't know he had it in him. Incredible.

Cricket is coming home

by El Gunner Tue 18 Jun - 20:32:15

Morgan has always been a good hitter of the ball, make no mistake

by Jay29 Tue 18 Jun - 20:41:18

I remember a few years back when Morgan's hitting and invention were unique talents in the England team. Nowadays, he gets overshadowed by all the other big hitters and improvisers, but he's still quality.

Not hating or anything dude. In fact like @Nishankly said, always had a soft corner for WI. For most of us Indians, they are like our 2nd team. I was just stating what I observed, that despite you having some smashing players, you don’t have ‘a team’. (Claim which is supported by the recent results) Was not intending to sound rude. Hope you recover and start winning. Cheers.
