The Cricket Thread

Looks like NZ reaching the finals.

They should be beating India.

Hmm yeah or no

I play League Cricket, I’m the head of the regional cricket union in all but name, I’m a Level 3 Umpire, I have my own Cricket Academy, I coach disadvantaged youth who cannot afford to attend Academies like mine, I create, run and oversee senior leagues, junior leagues and women’s cricket in our region, I go and watch cricket of any kind in the area as often as I can, I regularly visit Kingsmead and liase with the officials there on an almost daily basis. Aside from my Academy and umpiring, all of the above is as a volunteer for the love of the game.

I’ve never been less interested in a tournament in my life.

If the sport was played by about 200 nations to some quality then this might have a point. It doesn’t.

You’ve already got a World Cup.

Happy for NZ.

I get the reservations about the tournament, but they are a breath of fresh air.

If they win it’s the greatest one ever.

If they lose it can fuck off.

Especially as the whole thing has been organised for India’s convenience.

Not enough by New Zealand.

Cue Sith telling us how India have no chance.

Told you India’s losing this.

Oh ye of little faith.

Have you confused yourself with the teams? They haven’t been losing this for the last hour.

As an Indian, he’s obviously happy if India win. But he is also happy if they lose, as it means he can come on here and tell everyone that he told us so.

It really is beyond tedious now.

Couldn’t care less if India win.

This tournament was a farce in my book. And I don’t like the format too much anyway.

Nah. Not this one.

I’ll be very happy if they win the 50 over wc. Or the T20 one. Or the BG trophy.

Just not this particular tournament.

Too much cricket.

I do agree this tournament is bland as fuck.

Might as well get three teams to have a few test matches
