I find it amazing how good the top associate teams are tbh: they just keep improving despite being really niche sports in their nations. Give a whole lot test status.

Stoinis finally putting his biceps into some use

good lad

 

[Son Of Coco]

is match fixing worse than sandpapergate?

It's somewhere between that and pitch doctoring I reckon.

 

[Daemon]

Dire. This is going to be a massive klpd.

cummins looked astonished/perplexed

 

[DriveClub]

Tbh love that associates are finally getting some platform. Every world cup should have 20 teams here on

What, are you calling Stoinis with 38 runs off 21 balls a cheat?

 

[silentstriker]

No way Aussies lose this unless they lose a bunch of wickets.

 

[Spikey]

as if we didn't have enough reasons not to like stoinis

no

 

[centurymaker]

Stonis you ****, can't bat to save his life against proper opposition, while filling his boots against rank minnows.

 

[DriveClub]

Run a ball 50 for Head and the commentator says he's going at a very very good rate

 

[centurymaker]

Too easy.

Game over.

T20 is very different from longer versions. Shorter the game, higher the variance. Being competitive at T20s means nothing re Test cricket.

Still, I don't disagree. Give them Test status, but only if they will actually get to play games

 

[_Ed_]

This is brutal now.

 

[DriveClub]

This sharif guys been asking to get hit with his trundlers and finally someone's dispatching him

 

[Brook's side]

Yeah no one wants to play test cricket except the big 3 so I'm not sure what the relevance of getting new test teams.

But all the world cups should have 20 teams including the 50 over world cups
