Wonder if the term “Brigadier Block” was coined for him
Big time choke by Pak
Being a Pakistani cricket fan must be like suporting us in the 90s.
I hope this tournament isn’t going to be decided by rainfall patterns 
or winning against city and losing against forest
It feels it’s going that way?
Not great for England. They really have to beat the kiwis now.
Is it rained out ?
What a disaster this tournament is turning out to be.

The Lankans can probably mess up the group a bit more if they manage to beat NZ tomorrow.
Funny thing that only one group is getting affected majorly as of now though (you could argue that sa vs zim).
The cricket has been fun but ICC with their inflexible nature of not changing venues etc are proving to be a major clusterfuck.
Atleast when you know you are getting fucked over by rain , get an alternate plan of shifting stadiums or cities even if it’s on short notice.

Rather 50 over cricket be phased out.
Stick with t20s and tests.
Other way around.
Scrap t20 and stick with 1-dayers and tests. T20 does nothing for for the game other than increase BCCI’s bank accounts

Bcci really does fund the other boards though. If only due to the sheer size of the Indian populace.
50 over cricket is a dinosaur and needs revamping.
Don’t see how a 25 - 40 over boredom can be negated.
I’m a guy who’s all in for tests… But in the present 50 over format… The 25 to 40 over is just boring.
Either make the pitches spicy enough to reduce the average score or scrap that format altogether…
Right now it’s like slog… Block /singles aka boredom… And then slog … there needs to be something done between the 25 to 40 over mark.

Yeah I’ve struggled with 50 over cricket since 20-20, love Test matches but 50 over just seems an odd format, probably not helped that county’s play 40.

Last time I paid proper attention to 50 over cricket was when we dramatically won the World Cup

Kiwis through. Mountain to climb for England from here.
FFS. Was really hoping SRL could win as that would have likely seen Australia through if they win both their two easier matches remaining.
I fully fucking expect NZ to lose to England and knock us out in the process.
Praying for rain on November 1st.
Aus favourites without meteorological intervention
