They showed Sara too many times on the big screen.Shubman apparently decided to do the same after a few early overs

Everything that can be optimized - nutrition, analytics etc is optimized.
India will also keep getting better as India keeps getting richer (as they have been for the past 20-25 years).
I don't get the joke, but I like the fact it's midnight and you're still celebrating your win!They showed Sara too many times on the big screen.
I know, cheap joke but its midnight and I am celebrating our win.
They're the rich good-for-nothing uncle lolling in the corner*Explain England.
Could've had maybe half a dozen more if someone hadn't decided we needed BK's batting for the 2019 SF, oh wait it's that loud mouth tracer bullet in the comm box someone should ask him why the **** was he dropped thereShami has 23 wickets @ 9.13 for the WC which is the highest despite only playing 6 games. Nobody with a minimum of even 10+ wickets has an average even double that (18.26). It is the best bowling average for any bowler with more than one wicket this WC despite also being the most wickets in the tournament
Shami also now has the most 5-fers in WC history (4), all of which have come against top 8 sides. He also has the most 4+ wicket hauls (8) despite only playing a total of 17 WC games.
Shami's 7-fer today is the best bowling figures in a WC Knockout game overtaking Gary Gilmour's legendary 6-14 in the 1975 semi-final after 48 years.
Shami is the fastest both in terms of innings (17) and balls bowled (795) to reach 50 wickets in world cup history. The second fastest bowler, Starc took 941 balls to get to 50 wickets which is a whole 146 additional balls more than Shami.
Shami went past ODI greats Boult and Vass in WC wickets today and is just one wicket behind Wasim Akram in World Cups despite playing 17 games compared to Akram's 38. He currently has the sixth most WC wickets in history with Akram at 5th with 55 wickets and Malinga at 4th with 56 wickets.

Sara is Sachin Tendulkar's daughter and Gill's alleged girlfriend.I don't get the joke, but I like the fact it's midnight and you're still celebrating your win!
???Explain England.
Reigning World Champs in fifty overs until Sunday, world champs in T20, most fabulous Test side IN HISTORY. Football team bound to win the Euros next year. Global titles have been won in its three most popular sports (Football, Cricket, Rugby Union). That's before we even go into other sports.Explain England.
His daughter? Good lord, I'm old.Sara is Sachin Tendulkar's daughter and Gill's alleged girlfriend.
I think he was joking. But, yeah, England are a hugely successful sporting nation.Reigning World Champs in fifty overs until Sunday, world champs in T20, most fabulous Test side IN HISTORY. Football team bound to win the Euros next year. Global titles have been won in its three most popular sports (Football, Cricket, Rugby Union). That's before we even go into other sports.
That explain it well enough for you, dickhead?
I wasn't swearing for no reason, even Iyer slowed down a bit at the end but less than VK & did tonk quite a few after he went past his ton!but it should have been more, and Kohli pulling the handbrake up to score his 100 was one of the main reasons.
Stop getting so defensive mate, it's just a joke.Reigning World Champs in fifty overs until Sunday, world champs in T20, most fabulous Test side IN HISTORY.

Support our team on Sunday. Will support you in the Euros.Reigning World Champs in fifty overs until Sunday, world champs in T20, most fabulous Test side IN HISTORY.

Nah. They still lost the Ashes in 19th century when it was extremely popular.???
They are one of the most successful sporting countries in the world.
Huge Olympic hauls.
Their football mediocrity is due to their competitors being other first world countries and Brazil, which is poorer (but still not a third world country) who compensate that with a population advantage.
Their cricket team is quite decent considering the small pool of players they have. If cricket was as popular in England as football is, the English cricket team would be like the US basketball team.
We poach some of the best South African cricketers like England do, Conway, Wagner and Elliott have all been great recruits for us.How can a nation of 5 million population be so good in Cricket when it is not even in their no.1 sports ?
The most remarkable thing is how unremarkable his domestic record was before his selection. If memory serves he averaged high 30's in both formats. Dude found a way to turn himself into a genuinely great bat out of nowhere.I can't think of a single NZ player in history to compare Mitchell to. There's no one who touches him as a player who can do it all - play pace or spin, bat long periods, hit at the death, milk singles, clear the boundary, and most importantly do it against the best teams in the huge moments.
He now averages 52 in the format, with more tons than 50s.
Disagree..Being a first world country helps. Ultimately sports is a rich man's game.

if we have to win the WC with gimh's support i'd rather we loseSupport our team on Sunday. Will support you in the Euros.
