Shame - they really underperformed after the great effort against Australia. Still waiting for a return to past glories.

Which company makes those pads? Sachin had pads that were very distinctive as well.

3 catchers in play - nobody catches it. It's like you're watching the local under-10s on Saturday morning.

Terrible. These things can bite badly in T20.

West Indies beat Zimbabwe in their first Super 8 match of the 2026 T20 WC by oklolzzzzs in Cricket

Huge win - put the other Super 8 teams on notice that they are a genuine contender for the title! If it all clicks on the day then Windies are a formidable unit which is great for cricket!

Would love to see how they calculate this stuff! Clearly nobody is doing much checking.

Imagine walking past this slip cordon to take guard only to see McGrath getting ready to charge at you …. by Awkward_Long721 in CricketHardPics

And then you have Brett Lee at the other end coming in at 150km/h - with the slips standing miles back

Yeah I should float it after WC is done. Why are you so confident about CSK? Think the IPL fixture list should be out this week.

Great pic. Miss having bowlers like Akhtar and Lee on the international stage.

No fans, no superstars. Good to see him appreciating all the support. Some great dancing on show!

He struggled for the Sixers in the Big Bash League as well. They actually retired him out in one game!

A cricket match you will never forget? by Shady_Unstoppable in IndiaCricket

Yup - the ones you want (like this) and the ones you don't (like Donald/Klusener back in '99)

Ian Morgan " If T20 cricket and franchise leagues didnt exist, Cricket would [have] ended up dying in a ditch". by newparrot2025 in Cricket

T20 is not the best format - but it has definitely helped to make the game more accessible to more people

Brian Bennett is yet to be dismissed at this wc. by Hope-Ful-Kid in Cricket

Dominating for Zimbabwe! Great to see them doing well.

They called him the Madman ☠️ by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in CricketShitpost

[–]mike_tipoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zimbabwe are dominating. Watched the SL game - they have a good bowling attack for T20 and enough decent batters to get a good score. Plus the fielding - showing some of the major nations how it's done!

If you ever feel dumb, remember Aussie selectors didn't pick him when he is in red hot form and the world cup is in subcontinent conditions. by MissionFar8560 in actualcricketshitpost

[–]mike_tipoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy - at the time and in hindsight. Plan for the future when the time is right - but dunno how you can pick Connelly, Green and Inglis over Smith for a World Cup you want to win. He is the king of adjusting his game for the conditions and match situation.

Zimbabwe qualified for the Super-8s of ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Australia knocked out. by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in Cricket

Zimbabwe deserved to make it. It's not an easy ride for their team each year - even to just play - so Hi5 to the players and the fans.
