Honestly think that the India v Palistan Cricket matches I watched in Sharjah back in the 90’s were the most incredible sporting events I have ever sat (well tbh stood) through.
Totally infectious, deafening and makes the average rabid football ultra seem like a Prawn Sandwich eater.
Hope they get a result and the weather doesn’t destroy the event - there are about billion people watching this world wide today - can’t get a fucking taxi for love nor money down here!

Pakistan need 147 runs to win from 12.1 overs
Well India won.
Today we have Australia V Bangladesh.
Bangladesh are 24-1 after 6 overs
Bugger all of interest in that match rain stopped play with the Aussies needing 100 runs to win afer skittling the Bangladeshies for 182
Today we have England v the Kiwi’s.
Aye, and Jason Roy is opening again!!
Blustery conditions and the Kiwi’s have won the toss and are bowling first, could be a good choice.
And Roy’s poor form continues, wasted 23 balls too, scoring only 13 runs!
38-1 from 8.1
