@stevensmithclub Nothing much to show in India. Skewed the pitches in Australia heavily towards pace bowling post captaincy (after back 2 back debacles from India). Great bowler but hate what they did to Sydney in last BGT and had to drop Lyon in last Ashes.

@BhushanManmath How else you grow the league? IPL is blessed to add more teams and still quality stays top notch. Nostalgia always hits hard but that's how league evolves in any sport and India is only country that can do it cricket due to abundant domestic talent.

Amplifying "There is no deity except Allah and no one has the right to be worshipped but Him" through a loudspeaker five times a day is promoting amity, but peacefully chanting Durga Suktam while not denigrating anyone else's religion or God is promoting enmity. @Kompella_MLatha

Observations - T20 WC

Great to see Zim and WI top their groups. Slightly unfair that it counts for nothing in the Super 8s. Group toppers should carry 2 points forward as they’ve already beaten one of the Super 8 qualifiers.

The fans have made this tournament. 20,000 turning up for associate games at neutral venues. Only in India. This has been a reminder of who really funds the game - the Indian cricket fan.

Pakistan were based in Colombo and had already played multiple games there before facing India.

Didn’t see many complaints then about scheduling giving teams an advantage, unlike during the Champions Trophy. Guess it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Why chirping now mates ... not reaching knockouts?

[Aussies Army🏏🦘 @AussiesArmy]

We are seeing that many people are making fun of our cricket, specifically Indian peoples,Looks like they have forgotten about our cricket history.

The enthusiasm in Nasser Hussain's voice when India's batting order was collapsing has now disappeared.

Looking at the USA cricket team, the question is what does it take to get 20 Brazilians who can’t make it to their country’s XI to build a top tier football team for us.

Get the kiwis for rugby.
Get the jamaicans for running.
Get the chinese for table tennis.

Do this across sports. Dominate all sports.

@homelander_yyy He just won a MoM. It was a 500 pitch and he was unlucky with boundaries behind the keeper.
Plus I think he didn't use many variations like slower balls etc. to not show all tricks before WC, so relax.
Our weakest link in bowling could be Hardik + Dube (4 overs) on tough days.

@leadkindlylight @90_andypycroft In what sense are they overhyped? Just because there are more Indians that talk about them makes them overhyped?
If you look at world cricket, no one is hyping Jaisawal's away centuries as much as Brook's flat track run and see how they celebrate home wins of Australia.
