2 over wickets Archer in one game win runs at 106 by mops.

Ha! same words from me too…incredible.

Bangladesh have already proved they’re no chumps and that was a genuinely hardcore performance from England today to beat them so thoroughly. Credit absolutely due, I think.

And yet there are still those who refuse to acknowledge the supernatural. Unbelievable.

Buttler a doubt for Windies game on Friday

:india: v :australia: today

India won the toss and elected to bat, currently they’re 27-0 after 7.3 overs

So India put on 352 runs losing 5 wickets in the process.

Australia are currently 256-6 in reply, 8 overs left.

Need 97 runs at a tickle over 12 runs an over

India win by 36 runs, bowl the Australians out in the process

Nothing to see here.
It’s just a hand warmer…

Probably a tissue…amend headline to “Fresh snot wiping ball-tampering”

“He does it every game” may imply it isn’t a tissue.

:sunglasses:

Just seems stupid of any Aussie to even imagine they could have something in their pocket and wipe their fingers on it before bowling. Don’t imagine it is cheating, NOBODY can be that dumb, surely

:south_africa: v :windies: today

South Africa currently 29-2 off of 7.3 overs, unfortuantely rain has stopped play…

Who’s idea was it to have a cricket world cup in England in the summer :man_shrugging:

It is the big issue for any team chasing a semi final place. 1 stupid loss and a couple of no results and it could be game over.
Just hope it clears up for next game for England.
Need some of your rain here another 31C week forecast

Well that was a fun day out!

Got free train and bus from to ground (well I wasn’t asked for a train fare) and sat down in time for first ball sat in the back row.
6 overs later I suggested to my mate that we make haste to Pavilion as it was going to rain and we legged it inside and got seats and table.
It stopped raining about 2.30, but as more was predicted, we left and got on free bus just as it was about to leave for Parkway… Nice lady driver then allowed us to jump off at end of Mansbridge Rd and we were back indoors just as it started raining again.
My mate can now get a full refund on the tickets and we will try again on Friday, by which time I will be back on the beer.
