Cricket World Cup 2023

[Carlos J]

Hoping van der Dussen and De Kock get going.

Well not de Kock.

[Carlos J]

Saffers getting hammered - 66/7.

The 5Live feed keeps cutting out, but the internet spam from Indian call-centres never does. Why is that?

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

In this game you've got to try and get kock out early then leave a sticky wicket

[Carlos J]

The Banglans going to get a fairly easy win over the Lankans.

[Carlos J]

Well, just lost a wicket but 3 in hand and 7 to win now.

Didn't know Angelo Mathews was timed out for Sri Lanka: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/67333235 and:
https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/ ... bangladesh

Seems a bit harsh based on that and Mathews did a bit of watch pointing when he took wickets. Also seems that the Lankans just walked off at the end without shaking hands.

[Zambo]

Wankans more like.

Watched it, looked like Sakib did the dirty on Mathews. An utter cunt but LOL at Mathews’ expression when he was given out. Did he hurl the helmet to the ground which was the replacement or the one with the damaged chinstrap?

Yeah, apparently the umpires asked the Banglans if they still wanted to appeal for him out. Not sure which helmet, but according to the beeb he was on time and should have been given more time but then again read that he took the wrong helmet out.

Get your double entendres out, Higgins.

Tailenders often see their helmets in the dirt, especially following on with a good length delivery

Wahey.

Afghans have done well setting the Aussies a reasonably challenging total 282 to win the match. Good hitting towards the end.

Yeah and a nice ton for Ibrahim. Hopefully a few early wickets and put the Aussies under pressure.
