Damn, PAK win by 21 on DLS. Sodhi’s 20-run 25th over didn’t help. Neither did NZ not getting a 2nd wicket.

Zampa 3-21 (10). Just ridiculous.

Leading wicket taker at this WC.

AUS win by 34 runs. Good win.

England are pathetic. No heart.

Zampa POTM, well deserved. 29 (19), 3-21.

Australia looking like a championship team again. Pakistan's winning formula is evidently allowing 350+ bowling first.

Just get rid off Stoinis - looking forward to both M Marsh and Maxwell's return for next game.

This is sad if you have ever watched Rob's youtube channel, the guy had so many unique clips from recording every match possible over the years

Yeah I’ve been following that on Twitter. I’m sure he has copies of all of the videos but that doesn’t help the viewers.

I love Bumrah so much.

Also **** that channel with 50 subs that took down robelinda.

Not Kohli’s greatest century but a special one given the circumstances.

Update on most runs:
550 - de Kock
543 - Kohli
523 - Ravindra

Bavuma fails again, I’m shocked (not).

SA 3/37 chasing 327, luckily a loss of NRR will not impact them.

IND 5/326 (50)
SA 10/81 (27.1)

IND had scored 82 after 9 overs.

SA hit 10 boundaries. IND had hit 10 after 4.3 overs.

SA contributed 22 wides to IND’s score. Top scorer for SA was Jansen with 14.

SA’s NRR down from 2.290 to 1.376, but finishing 2nd or 3rd is the same thing.

Another totally uncompetitive match, aside from a couple games this wc has been a snoozefest

Yeah, there's been some arseholery wrt cricket/youtube of late, GC's been hit with malicious strikes of late and is mostly running on Twitch/Facebook as of right now. Frankly given their latest actions Youtube can crash and burn for all I care but that's a separate subject

it seems that the side batting first has won about 80%?

SA was doomed once India got over 250. Seems like it is a 2 horse race between India and Aus now. Probably how it should be tbh

I’d been thinking he’s been looking very old and slow, this confirms it

SL 10/279

Just a shame it wasn’t Bairstow

Test Match Day 1, Session 1

Bowl 24 overs instead of 30, that’s ok, we wouldn’t want to influence the result of this match by issuing an in-game penalty

ODI, batsman comes out to bat

Helmut strap snaps before facing a ball, new helmet rushed out. YOU WASTED ONE MINUTE, YOU’RE OUT!

But face one ball, then call for a new helmet, that would be ok.

No sport is as bad as football for poor rules and officiating, but cricket should not be trying to catch up.

Whatever happens today I just hope it hurts England’s chances of getting 8th.

Yeah its ludicrous a game at this stage to be affected by this level of nittery.

BAN 3/210 (32), chasing 280

Angelo Mathews gets Shakib out and points to his wrist as if to say it’s time to go.

Except that Shakib scored 82 and Bangladesh just had their 2nd biggest WC partnership ever, so it’s little consolation for what happened earlier.

Well well well, Mathews dismisses both established batters, two new batters in now. Game on!

BAN 4/211, hope we get an exciting finish

BAN lose 3 more wickets to make it interesting, but they get the win after 41.1 overs. This is a terrible result for England as now they could beat the Netherlands, lose to Pakistan and fail to finish top 8 due to a poor NRR.

7. BAN - 4pts - NRR -1.142
8. SL - 4pts - NRR -1.160
9. NED - 4pts - NRR -1.398
10. ENG - 2pts - NRR -1.504
