Fmd that WC sucked but it had some great moments
Gibbs 6 6s, Malinga 4 in 4, Ireland beating Pak, Bangers beating India, big Dwayne Leverock getting a gun catch

Wasn't great for everyone . . .

This doesn't happen very often. One over left, five runs needed to win and six wickets in hand. And then the bowler took six wickets in six balls to win the match by four runs.

FMD. It's now happened twice in the last 2 days.

When you go into the last over of a one-day match needing five runs with six wickets in hand, you really shouldn’t be bowled out.

Isn't that the same game? (or is that what you meant to say)

The Sports Minister has sacked the cricket board and appointed an interim board. The fatphobes in the fat-shaming thread best get posting, cause he's back baby.

He is not wasting time or words.

Don Bradman's 100th first class century was made against the touring Indians in a first class match in 1947-48.

The match also featured Miller, Harvey, Mankad, Lala Amarnath among others.

Bradman reached his century against G Kishenchand who was asked to bowl as a surprise tactic by Amarnath.

India went on to win the match (one of the only 2 matches they won on that tour) with Mankad picking 8 wickets in second innings, including the Don's.

Obviously I'm too lazy to check the scorecard, but presumably most of those were for backing up.

The infamous Mankading incident happened in the 2nd test of the series. However, the above first class match scorecard also says Bill Brown run out by Mankad. Brown run out Mankad happened more than once that season.

Just boycott India in cricket until they share the cake fairly. Then we can discover that our own boards are equally to blame because they accept the crumbs given out rather than demand their fair share.

Really? I can see. It's about proposed ICC finance model.

Australia doesn't deserve much tbh. I'm talking about giving more money to associate and weaker teams like Zimbabwe to develop.

Agreed. The big 3 are greedy *****. Australia can't make a cent if no one tours.
