@barneyronay Whatever your broader points about bazball/Brook, think this is a pretty disingenuous take on the shot. He’d survived v Lyon by repeatedly playing reverse sweeps + put enough pressure on that Cummins bowled Head instead. Not like he’d blocked then suddenly played a reverse sweep

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Is Brook the new ‘look up and he’s got 20’?

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Cricket is so unserious at times. In what other sport would you get something like Woakes having to bowl offspin

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

3 of the last 4 finals day have been all south group teams - that’s 14/16 quarter finals won by south group teams. Pretty convincing case for some reassessment of the way the group stage is organised #T20Blast

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Pretty off the scale a) how good Pooran is at hitting sixes and b) how much T20 cricket he plays

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

PSR kind of sucks. Sensible rules in some ways but pretty crap unintended consequence how teams are just incentivised to get rid of their academy graduates. Makes the league a worse place

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

From Hale End to the first team, 62 to the hallowed 14.

Making memories throughout - good luck, Eddie ❤️

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

@cricket_badger Lots of valid reasons to question the Hundred but by any metric it’s a better standard of players than the blast

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Bilateral series since the 2022 T20 World Cup:

Bangladesh (A) 🇧🇩 3-0 L
NZ (H) 🇳🇿 2-2 D
West Indies (A) 🏝️ 3-2 L
Pakistan (H) 🇵🇰 2-0 W

Some experimental teams here, but bilateral results are usually a pretty good predictor of performances in WCs, and they haven’t been good

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Semi-final ends up not being a bad result for England but slightly flattering - West Indies are basically the only good team they beat. Otherwise:

Beat USA 🇺🇸 Namibia 🇳🇦 Oman 🇴🇲

Lost to Aus 🇦🇺 SA 🇿🇦 India 🇮🇳

And were getting smacked by Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@BHarrison212 Yeah feels like a bit of a reset needed doesn’t it

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

So good

It’s a measure of how different this IPL season has been that it’s the first time that all 4 teams who’ve made the playoffs didn’t qualify in the previous season #IPLQualifier

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

To be 2nd best batter and 3rd best bowler in the highest standard comp in the world is pretty incredible 👑

Batting and bowling impact leaderboards, IPL 2024:

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Amazing player to watch. Shows the value on these good pitches of basically trying to hit every ball for six

[Johns. @CricCrazyJohns]

JAKE FRASER-MCGURK IN IPL 2024:

- 55(35) vs LSG.
- 20(10) vs GT.
- 65(18) vs SRH.

He is just 22 years old, Mad batting....!!!!

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Or 109 👑 #KKRvRR

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Recency bias but opening with Narine seems like a bit of a no-brainer - either you get a really helpful 30 (15) or if it doesn’t come off, you lose a low-value wicket carry on as you would have otherwise

[Harry Lawes @HarryLawes]

Or he can whack 85! #KKRvDC

@joelgolby What’s the form here when no one has won the penalty eg handball that doesn’t come from attacking team kicking it? GK has to take?
