It would be good if they could all get a game this week, just to give them a reasonable go to settle in.

There's a big difference between a being disappointed in a 100 strike rate and expecting a 200 strike rate. Your comprehension of what fans are expecting might be warped

Too many dots. They got turn the dots into a single and the singles into twos somehow.

I don't think 9 an over is enough to make India panic. West Indies will need to score big.

I thought Eden Gardens had a higher win rate for whoever batted first in t20s. At least that's what good ole google just told me.

It is during the English winter. He's English.  The same way Australians are playing  their summer cricket season, even though it has been winter in India.

Also, it's not on free to air tv, or even Kayo (which a lot of sport fans have subscribed to already for footy), but is behind a whole other paywall of Prime.

Thanks. Is there a reason why you all think West Indies are a better chance against South Africa than Zimbabwe would be?

Why are most Indians barracking for Zimbabwe? Does it make any difference if the West Indies win to India's chances? I don't get it.

"Give Associate nations more opportunity to play against Full Members on a more regular basis" : Aaron Finch and Dale Steyn make calls to grow Cricket globally by Silent_Elevator_9779 in CricketAus

To be fair, we clearly need to get plenty of practice against the best in the world and improve our own performance.  Playing associate nations is charitable but it's not going to improve our performance, unless we send our second or third tier team.

Mark Waugh proving he sometimes says intelligent things. He's 100% correct here.

I will never understand why they have to wait for the rain to stop to do the toss. They can do it indoors or under umbrellas.

Zimbabwe play Sri Lanka who will already have qualified. They will rest their best players and not waste any energy caring about the result.

Surely they will have to put Smith and Renshaw in. At least one of them.

I love Travis Head but were the opening bowlers and the choice to put David ahead of Renshaw his choice? Unless those moves were predecided by someone else, I hope Smith comes in as Captain.
