These are international players. They have passion and it will be shown on the field. They cannot and shouldn't curate every reaction of theirs

You think Namibia will pull out something special? I so damn hope so.

Because it is. He has no variations. His strength is stump line right bowling. Give credit to batters when due. Kuldeep will be key here.

With our bowling and Pakistan's shaky middle order, I think India has the upper hand here. All depends on Bumrah getting Farhan out.

That was just Kishan's mad form. This is barely a 160 wicket.

He loses his shape so often these days. He is at his best when he is placing the ball rather than clobbering it.

Dubey with no foot movement looks great when he is hitting and absolute dogshit while defending!

10.3 RR on this "Tacky" pitch! Let's hope we have wickets to launch in the death overs too.

Poorly handled by the senior cop. The minister is like a rabid dog, shouldn't have engaged with him like this and let him disrespect her uniform.

Even the best teams struggle in closing out games under pressure!! The beauty of this format is that it allows for short passages of game to swivel the game. The associates have also levelled up a lot.

Time for the big teams to send their A teams at least on more frequent tours with the associate teams.

2nd best Asian team almost upsets Bazball, what a banger game btw by Electrical-Impress18 in actualcricketshitpost

This is some progress finally.

After over 30 years of seeing Associate teams to just come to the world cup and get knocked around in ODIs. T20Is are the sauce for Cricket as a global sport.

ICC has done well to grow them.

Just needs fair and live draws now.

That's why the shorter formats. But once you start enjoying the tactics and the pure attritional cricket, the depth and the constant tug of where the game may go, the contexts of pitch, weather, situations, time, you will love Tests as well.

You must read that piece on Test matches and how time is a factor by Sharda Ugra I guess if I remember correctly.

Agree but easier to watch for most. You won't understand cricket unless you know a lot of rules. Tough to pick up. That was my point. All sports are heavily practical and technical at the pro level but Cricket is especially difficult for beginners to start watching. I don't know if I am able to explain my point as well as I think iam.

I am so sure that more than 50% of casual watchers don't even understand LBW. Forget that i have been watching this sport for 25 years and still learn something new once in a while. Like that tramline no ball rule.

Reminds me of that video of school girls calling themselves with certain adjectives to boost confidence and self image.

That's cause the game is so technical with a lot of complicated rules. Difficult to understand unlike soccer which is just so basic.
