    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    He was highly rated over a decade ago. Probably underachieved considering the initial promise but atleast this late bloom happened.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    This match has proceeded along depressingly predictable lines post day 1, an encapsulation of the worst aspects of test cricket.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    Green's height and the pace he bowls at is making the difference with the old ball. Good to see him coming into his own with the ball too.

    *Official* Bangladesh v India 2022/23

    The outrage is dropping him for this domestic journeyman. STAT: Most consecutive Tests missed between appearances 142 Gareth Batty (2005-16) 118 Jaydev Unadkat (2010-22) * 114 Martin Bicknell (1993-03) 109 Floyd Reiffer (1999-09) 104 Younis Ahmed (1969-87) 103 Derek Shackleton (1951-63)...

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    The Pindi pitch was also bad and got a below average rating which was at the other extreme. That's fair considering 'poor' is not just about how easy it is to bat.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    Think they get a pass because of the pitch now. Probably wouldn't have been the case if it was chased down with only a wicket down.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    Add another 5 to that. Has this pitch really been that unplayable? It's easy to tell with subcontinental bunsens but not so much green tops. Seems to be the carry more than anything that's troubling the batsmen. Any edge will always carry.

    *Official* Australia vs South Africa -2022/3

    Lol 8 of the runs are byes. If only they had made 50 or 60 more.

    *Official* New Zealand v India T20s & ODIs

    You can level most of these criticisms broadly at the Indian t20 side too whose approach is quite dated.

    Indian Cricket Dhaba

    Think Dhoni once mentioned that with the 2 new balls and 1 less fielder outside the ring until the 40th over rule he wouldn't have used Raina, Yuvraj, Sehwag, etc if he was still the captain. Would have to find that specific interview though. It has generally rendered finger spin quite...

    2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

    So called batting depth was.the only reason we never played a proper wrist spinner in the tournament.

    2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

    You should see the domestic T20 competition SMAT. Many of the crucial positions in the ipl teams are filled by foreign players for a while now which is part of the reason why good alternatives haven't emerged by now.

    2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

    All started from 2015. Peter Moores "We need to look at the data" was mocked then but that's what they've actually done and now they're on the verge of another white ball title. No reason we can't go along that same path but I get the feeling we need a coach who if not foreign - which I prefer -...

    2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

    This approach also needs batting depth which we don't have which is when you get games like the Asia cup one where Kohli was farming the strike in the last 2 overs. One dimensional white ball cricketers is another issue which was not a problem even a decade or 2 decades back. The way we play is...

    2nd Semi Final | Ind vs Eng | Adelaide, 10 Nov 2022

    Says he regrets that we couldn't get to 180 inspite of losing having made 168 with 4 overs to spare. If that doesn't highlight what the problem is I don't know what does.

    Wow the Irish Akram gets a hat trick.

    All the feels right here.

    Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

    Gonna consider it reward for getting more swing than England's bowlers did when they bowled, which was quite surprising with both Woakes and Curran there.

    Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

    Saf can feel hard done by but i don't think Zim would have batted first if they had an inkling of this kind of weather. it's always an advantage to field first in such truncated encounters so that it may not be such a bad idea to do the toss again if necessary keeping in mind that it will be a 9...
