All the squad has just signed new contracts (bar Willey)

Doesn't mean we'll see them playing ODI's again.

 

[Floyd]

What did he have to say?

'The 100 is sacrosanct as it finances *everything* else, Tests, IT20s, ODIs'. His emphasis by the way, not mine...

Remember when we picked the reserves for Ireland

 

[Lumley End]

I’ve just seen on Twitter, how true it is I’m not sure, but if SL win today and SA beat Pakistan tomorrow the 4 semi finalists will be set with 19 games still to be played. A big sign that this tournament is dragging too long.

That can't be true Shirley?

I hope some of the proper cricket journos interview Key and ask him why we persist with the Hundred given the damage we are seeing before our own eyes.

We need to produce new 50 over cricketers and that won't happen while most of them are playing this16.4 rubbish instead.

And Root turned down playing in the last two and moaned we didn't play enough 50 over games?

 

[The Great MES]

Fuck off weird beard bloke

 

[Boo]

This wicket’s doing nothing now. Really weird.

Can’t stand the hundred but again I doubt any of the Australian or Indian squads play domestic 50 over cricket. Quinton de Kock is leading run scorer but I’d guess hasn’t played a domestic 50 over game for at least 5 years

Same story as previous matches. Take early wickets then don't capitalise. Stokes would have been better off staying retired and getting his knee sorted. Mott has to be sacked after this shambles.

He 'answered' this without it being asked. The 100 is vital as it pays for *all* the other formats. Apparently.

wonder how the others got financed before the 100? a whip round?

We’re going bottom again

Been the worst World Cup I can remember not one close game empty grounds and England being a disgrace.

Just get rid of the format, it peaked in 2019. No need for it now we’re shite

 

[SAFC11]

Wood averages 71 for the tournament

Doesn't help like when they just ask him to bang in short for several overs on pitches with short boundaries and less pace in them
(He has bowled poor as well)

It’s obviously nonsense. If those two results happen, SL, Afghan and Pak will all be two pts behind Aus in 4th with three to play. Admittedly all will also have a worse NRR but still, how can it be impossible for one of them to get to 4th?
