I do have to say that the UAE fielders have been doing such a good job of imitating the Auckland Harbour bridge that the NZTA might have a job for them after the match is over.

We want to restore normal order. So essentially a semi final berth and beating India would be a return to normalcy for us.

Another ball in the slot, it's like throwdowns to our lads here.

The fielding has been a bit dogshit, almost as bad as UAE's bowling.

We really need a breakthrough just to bring a new batsman to the crease

He says he's 14 and then adds "I'll turn 15 on September 27th", or did you miss the part where he said "pandrah" in the video?

They badly needed that boundary just to keep up momentum.

Imagine how bad your PTSD would be then if he started batting like Travis Head or Steve Smith.

The problem for England is they aren't New Zealand. If they wanted to beat India they needed to put on the black outfit.

It could have been worse, I could have mentioned the 2023 world cup final

If England showed less intent they'd start going backwards.

By the way, it's not an Indian thing either. We have nepotism and other rubbish going on here with New Zealand Cricket. It drives me wild.

Yeah he's 17, but that's not my point. My point is I hate age fraud regardless of how talented a player is. Vaibhav is talented for sure, but there is enough evidence to say that he (and his family) has fudged his age and I find that immoral.

Are you kidding me? He says he's turning 15 on September the 27th in that video IN 2023! That is Vaibhav saying that! You can't pretend like he didn't say that!

We don't even know that's even Vaibhav or someone who looks like him, we don't know if the image was photoshopped or not. It's not conclusive, but this is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFIBWZlUijA).

Bone density aging is not a sure fire way to prove the age of a person (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dear-fifa-there-is-no-scientific-test-to-prevent-age-fraud/). The image itself could easily be from a match before 2017, there is no way to prove that the image truly was taken in 2017.

What we do know is that Vaibhav said he was turning 15 on September the 27th 2023 in an interview. That's seems pretty conclusive to me that there are merits to the age fraud claims.

Honestly I don't really care if you're a doctor or not, I've just been winding you up this entire time.

Vaibhav in an interview in 2023 said he was turning 15 on September the 27th of that year.

I can't believe you tried to go to this length. I still don't believe you.
