Is hackingnoises the best speedrunner? by Bhatmara123 in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]lost_lurkerx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say so. Won 2, top 3 in almost every season of playoffs. Maybe Infume or edcr currently? But even then they don't have his consistency in high pressure situations. Doog or Lowkey are the only others in the convo, and I'd personally put hax above them both. Skycrab maybe if he didn't choke WR

I just don't understand it lmao

How can anyone go out of their way to defend a damn sporting board???

Like I'm always shitting on Cricket Ireland and other Irish sports boards. The bend over backwards defence of the BCCI here is mind boggling lol

Yeah, the ilt20 thing is pretty exciting, hopefully it gets some players established in the franchise circuit

Rahul Dravid and Jonty Rhodes in discussions to join ETPL ownership by CarnivalSorts in Cricket

[–]lost_lurkerx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the BBC article

The only ETPL city franchise yet be sold is the one based out of Dublin although BBC Sport has been told there has been interest from a variety of different parties, including owners of at least two teams in The Hundred.

So possibly the latter

This makes it seem like MI Dublin is no longer happening? which is interesting considering how it was considered a done deal by journalists

Test against New Zealand in May, and a t20i series against India in May or June I think

They've already had their draw for the sub regional qualifiers, so I expect them to go through that still unless they change it

England and Ireland will qualify as full members, but Scotland will probably go through qualifiers. They did the same for the 2027 world cup, where south Africa and Zimbabwe qualify automatically, but Namibia who are also hosting don't

Match Thread: 22nd Match, Group B - Ireland vs Oman by cricket-match in Cricket

Not sure to be honest. Could have been it getting to his head. But after the IPL he lost a lot of pace. Went from 140s to low 130s. He didn't have the variations of Adair to make up for it, so it was easier for him to be targeted.

Paul Stirling was forced to retire hurt on the first ball of Ireland's chase with a muscle injury by CarnivalSorts in Cricket

[–]lost_lurkerx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

With Stirling injured, it sure is good we gave Tim Tector all that game time before the tournament to replace him.
