It's sad to see @ybj_19 throw his wicket away time and again. Given his humble background and the hard work he put in to reach here, his success feels personal to so many of us. Lately, he looks desperate. Hope he brings back that hunger and starts valuing his wicket again

ICYMI, Aus won the toss chose to bat first

Good to see Nic Maddinson back in the team after 10 years

@ProteasMenCSA banking a bit on spinners on the surface. Let's see how it goes

@cricketcomau looks more balanced but supporting Proteas to get the first win

Kieron Pollard sold to Johannesburg Super King's at base price

Never in my life did I think I’d see Pollard playing in a yellow jersey 💔

Still feels wrong. Sad that MI let this happen 😭

On point 🎯
Great prediction

@ThirdManThought @windiescricket @BCCI I dont think so, they will atmost score 170-175

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

Great catch by @ishankishan51

Looks very unorthodox but great catch nonetheless

I still believe @windiescricket to score 200+ given their batting ability till no 11

#INDvWI #IndianCricket #IshanKishan @SunRisers @BCCI

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

@windiescricket are 121/6 in 13.2

I feel @windiescricket will end up scoring 200+

@BCCI #INDvWI #IndianCricket

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

We are doomed. Arshdeep and Mayank are your only frontline pacers, yet you���ve bowled 3 overs of Arshdeep in the powerplay and Mayank got thrashed in his first over. With plenty of WI firepower still to come, this plan could really backfire at the death.

Strange call

India opt to bat first against Pakistan in Asian Games finals and are going with same team

#INDvPAK #AsianGames #GoldMedal @BCCI #IshanKishan

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

Srilanka opt to bowl first against India in Asian Games semifinal

India are playing @Vaibhavsooryava , @OfficialAbhi04 and @IamSanjuSamson together in the playing XI for the first time and are playing with only two specialist bowlers

Interesting combo given the spin assistance

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

Ind A drew the 2nd unofficial test match against Aus A and won the 2 match series

Australia needed 1 wicket to win the match in last 2 overs and india defended

Excellent cameo by Tushar and Yash Rathod

#INDAvAUSA #INDvAUS

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

Ishan Kishan - 80*(46) with 4 fours and 5 sixes
Vaibhav - 38(21)
Rest of the team - 51(53)

@ishankishan51 the real x factor in both teams

#INDvSL #AsianGames #IshanKishan #SRH @SunRisers

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

Fifty up for @ishankishan51 in Asian Games semifinal against Sri Lanka

No matter the format, no matter which position he's batting at, no matter the opposition, he'll deliver

Ishan Kishan redemption arc 🔥🔥🔥

ICYMI, Irani Trophy Final is taking place between J&K and Rest of India

Aquib Nabi (player of the tournament this Ranji Trophy) and Yudhvir are surely a miss for J&K

Let's see how they put up a fight against star studded Rest of India

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

@cricbuzz @BCCI And lines like “maybe they agreed before the match to consult” only make the whole thing more subjective. It feels like every big page is trying to find a way to justify the BCCI instead of simply asking whether the process was right.

@cricbuzz @BCCI #INDvJAPAN

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

@cricbuzz The whole article is basically ifs and buts. Some calls are subjective, which is exactly why we have umpire’s call. A decision was made and then changed without a proper replay or second look, based on input from an umpire who had a side view.

@BCCI @cricbuzz

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

@BCCI @ICC @HomeOfCricket That cost Japan a run and an extra ball. They eventually lost by 2 runs. If we really want to grow the sport globally, moments like this don���t help. They only raise questions about the rules and whether every team gets the same treatment. (3/3)

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

You play an associate team to help grow the sport and expand its footprint globally. But then win through subjective calls and questionable umpiring decisions. How does that promote the sport? (1/3)

@BCCI @ICC @HomeOfCricket
#INDvJAPAN #Unfair #Cricket

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

@BCCI @ICC @HomeOfCricket It only makes people feel the game can be rigged by bigger teams to win matches or tournaments. Not a good sign for the sport. The call was given as a wide. No third umpire, no replay, just a consultation with the leg umpire after the appeal and the decision was changed. (2/3)

[Third Man Thoughts @ThirdManThought]

ICYMI, Ind A playing against Aus A in a 5 day test match

Players I'm rooting for in this match
Batsman - Kumar Kushagra
Allrounder - Mulani and Kotian
Bowler - Kamboj
