Administrator Stan Posted September 20, 2018 Administrator Posted September 20, 2018 Such a weird format of this Asia Cup. Surprised it's not being televised anywhere either. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Adil Rashid's no ball of the century. What a plonker of an umpire. Quote
Azeem Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 This is going to be interesting, spin vs Fakhar, he will try to unleash the shackles. Quote
Azeem Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 That was probabbly the best death over bowling i have ever seen by India. We needed one of Asif or Malik to bat till the end. Without Faheem there's not enough power after them. Fall 30 short of what they should have got. But it's still probably the best batting performance they've had in this tournament, which tells you a lot about their tournament. Quote

Not as good as Malinga can be but seriously effective. 1 Quote

IgnisExcubitor Posted September 26, 2018 Author Posted September 26, 2018 Brilliant from Afghanistan. If they had showed a bit of common sense (it comes with experience) and they could have won any of those three matches. I totally see them winning matches against bigger teams in the World Cup next year. On a side note, I can't remember the last time I cheered a hundred against India like I did yesterday for Shahzad.

Was also a highly rated young kid. Seems like another Tendulkar, with similar start. Has just scored a century on his Test debut. There has a been a huge buzz around his debut(last seen around Kohli's debut). Tendulkar and Gavaskar's legacy continues with yet another hugely talented kid from Mumbai who is bound to score scary amount of runs. Quote

Does the sense of local identity is as strong in county cricket in England as in football ? Or people just casually support any team they like? Quote

Or people just casually support any team they like? I'd say there's a stronger sense of it in county cricket. The longer format of county cricket relies on local support because interest has dwindled thanks to T20 and one-day cricket being a bit more entertaining. There's not much to excite the kids these days when it comes to county championship cricket. Plus scheduling recently has been pretty stupid - I think in the season just gone, they had 4-day county championship matches planned for Friday to Monday on one week - when if you want to try and get younger fans involved or interested, it would have been better to have it Tuesday to Friday because it was during half-term/school holidays so kids wouldn't have been at school and more likely to attend. 1 Quote
The Artful Dodger Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 I'll pop down to Aigburth now and again when Lancahsire play here, I would never traipse over to Old Trafford though. Quote
IgnisExcubitor Posted October 18, 2018 Author Posted October 18, 2018 So this just happened. Not surprised that Pakistan is involved. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted October 18, 2018 Administrator Posted October 18, 2018 That's seriously unfortunate . Lack of experience and concentration though from the batsmen... Quote

Heard in the commentary that the lad has played 60 tests. Think it's more mentality and approach. We had that too. In time we have become more professional. These little things like game awareness (you will find that in batsmen from India, England, Australia, South Africa) is now second nature. It came with time. Pakistan, despite all their enormous talent, continue to lack that. 1 Quote
Azeem Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 If Roberto Martinez managed a Cricket side it would be us Quote
Azeem Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 David Warner walked off the field in the middle of the over because of ' a sledge' the irony, then came back after 2 mins to bat You can retire hurt even when you're feelings are hurt ! 1 Quote
Azeem Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Than why isn't he looking towards the camera ? Quote
Azeem Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Can't people PM each other first on twitter before making their issues public ? Edited November 25, 2018 by Azeem Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted December 6, 2018 Posted December 6, 2018 India 4 down at lunch at time of writing this. So loose. Not earning their runs at all bar Pujara. There's more to cricket than pushing at the ball ffs. Quote
