Seen online Chennia no longer allowed to play their games at home. Violence related to a water dispute with a neighbouring province !

When Rashid Khan was just making his debut for Afghanistan he looked like a Sunday league spinner bowling half trackers. Now probably the best in the world atm. Afghanistan can build the test team round him like Murali possibly. Someone must have saw something

They really can, he is unreal, he proper turns it, but at ridiculous pace

Best one day bowler in the world for me, possibly with Starc

Love to see him a test arena, or county cricket

But I reckon if Afghanistan can develop a couple more spinners, they could be a one day force

As a staunch county supporter I almost feel like it's taboo to say this but sod it. What a fantastic tournament this is. Ignore the stuff around it, it's still all about what's happening in the middle and that has been absolutely superb so far.

I used to really like it, just can't get into it these days

I seem to have gone even more towards a traditionalist!

I thought the 20/20 world cup where we got to the final in India was the best cricket tournament I have seen

in my opinion we need have these every couple of years, and in India, it was fantastic drama

I did similar when we were playing NZ but it was the date, the game started the next day :oops:


@stephen cartwright favourite Washington Sundar v Axar Patel, interesting to keep an eye on him

Great name, decent figures 2-0-9-1. He'll do for me, bonny lads

He was hit for six by stoinis , but revenge next ball, stumped

Sundar 3-0-17-2

Axar is 1 off 1 so far

Kings XI 111 for 6 off 14

Axar is a big lad mind

Axar is opening the bowling for the king's XI. About six foot tall, left arm spin

Gets mccullum for first ball duck

Washington Sundar wins the game for rcb

Pant is an unbelievable talent like.

Just checked and he has an average of 54 with a strike rate of 100 in first class cricket :lol:

Incredible innings from Roy to win it for Delhi.

Watched that chase today, what a fantastic knock, defs been working with Ponting, he went big early like he normally does, but used his feet to spinners really well for 1s and 2s and let the other lads play.

This is what some of these lads need to work on, they have so much talent but a bit one dimensional, lets see how he progresses, he does OK for England, but he has so much talent he needs to push himself further for me, do more, don't leave it for others.

I watched a few games this weekend, pretty good. The only thing that puts me off is the volume of games, and just the constant amazement of "wow what another 6", its a bit overkill like.

Yeah I can see that point, however if people put aside all the over the top side issues, the actual cricket games have been very very good and a great watch imo.

Last few games have been decent like, its not something I can watch every day though

Good to see more England players, and they should be playing most games.

There is still a problem in the IPL and these leagues in that there are so many South African and Australian coaches involved, and virtually no English ones, you see very average players from those nations getting good deals.

I mean how are people like Bairstow, Root, Willey etc not getting deals immediately

Root would absolutely tear that league up, he always always gets runs.
