Then they ping USA for 5 runs. I take it they would've done that to India in a reverse situation...

Only if you have a dog in the fight. This isn't enjoyable as a neutral. Watching the supposed best players in the world not being undone by skill necessarily, but by pitch conditions. It might get exciting at the end but that first 10 overs of India's innings was painful.

I've heard that there's a beauty to the fact any side can win, especially on sub par decks in this tournament...to me that's rubbish. If those sides compete because they've built quality, awesome. But if they're competing because the better side can't properly apply their skills, there's not much joy in that

I respectfully disagree. I am a cricket enthusiast. None of my teams are in this group. Maybe a small bias because I reside in the US...but this sort of cricket I grew up watching (late 90s to early 00s).

In the eyes of the beholder....I love it.

It's surely gonna have an impact. I've seen top NY influencers on IG showcasing cricket on their pages. It's like throwing mud at the wall.

The cynic in me says that's a paid thing if it's influencers ahead of a tournament? Or is this at another time?

USA have gone super flat after the penalty runs. Was feeling pretty close, now feels like it’s gonna be over with 2 to play.

Smith excellent on comms again. Understands the game situation so well.

Yeah there is a ****ing clock running for all to see at the ground.

I know the BCCI runs cricket conspiracy theories are fun but this is just ridiculous now.

Haha yeah, theories. Like how my team turned up late for this tournament and didn't play warmups because some of our side came from a domestic event where they sat on the bench for two months.
