This is amazing and should be encouraged. I hope he's in with a shout for some sort of award.

I mean after the first one they should've learned their lesson and just stayed behind the line until the ball was delivered lol

You don't expect to be mankaded by a seamer and there is an enormous gulf in skill level I the women's game.

So many T20i records are from the women's game.

Things like 18 all out with 10 extras and 224/3 vs 21ao

Just turned on the IPL to see Padikkal for the first time and can't believe how much his set-up and stance reminds me of Hayden and guess who is commentating at the same time

County cricket has been bonkers the last couple of days.

24 wickets falling in a day at Northants and the game was over 1 hour into day 2. Essex bowled out for 170 and winning by an innings + runs.

On the other hand Glamorgan vs Surrey is more than 1000 runs deep with only 8 wickets being taken in total after 3 days.

Yeah

It's going to be really useful for England to give Hasim Amla a bunch of batting practice now...

Not sure he should now tbh.

Couldn't even make a triple.

Also it's not often that all 11 players bowl in an innings.

Satisfying conclusion to the season. gg Hants and Lancs.

Woakes has developed himself into such a good cricketer it's almost unreal.

I can't find anything about Surrey being docked points for that pitch in the last game of the season. A metaphor for capitalism.

Quinton De Kock might not play for South Africa again.

Tldr. South Africa mandates taking a knee before the game. He sits out instead.

A white South African not showing support of anti-racism seems like a bad look in 2021. OTOH cancel culture has gotten pretty out of hand!

t20 comp has been good fun. especially enjoying afghanistan batting approach (try to hit a 6 every ball starting from ball 1) & indian failure

england winning each game with 12 overs to spare pretty nice too. havent even needed liam livingstone and his 100 meter moonballs so far
