Whilst we stagnate the world's best T20 batters have suddenly gone up 2 levels in this IPL. Its not even fun to watch. It's a big OH shit moment

Good thing Joylord has gone up 3 levels in that case!

Its just climate change...the new normal now. Last year was also the hottest summer in Dhaka in recent memory...similar temps in the high 30s and touching 40.

Anyone see the massive floods in Dubai last week? Hotter temps causes the atmosphere to soak up more water and drop torrential rain.

Now that the ZIM side has officially been declared its a good time to start discussing specifics. Firstly, its gonna be a toughish tour with the heat in Bangladesh this time of year. This week in Dhaka as the DPL List A tournament is going on, scorching temperatures are topping out in the low 40s. U...

Fizz is past his prime I’m afraid. He’s outside the top 5 seamers in Bangladesh now. Selectors will still pick him as an automatic pick however. He’s the Bangladeshi Chatara I guess. Shakib too is overrated in T20s. Solid bowler but mediocre batter. But I guess all the BD players are pretty average ...

Looks a pretty standard full strength ZIM side. No major injury concerns - which is cause enough to celebrate given how often Ervine and Williams are hurt. And not too many passengers in the side either, since Jongwe actually won a game for ZIM recently.

That doesn’t bode well cuz that series was a fluke!

He’s only getting a game today because that fat prick Livingstone is injure. Never has there been a more overrated player than him imo.

Every single English player is overrated with the exception of Root and James Anderson. Stokes is decent.

Bangladesh have tours of Pakistan and India next (after a tour of Afghanistan but they aren't in the WTC). They will need to do a serious re-think of their approach and strategy if they want to compete against those teams. One of the things is, a guy like Shahadat Hossain got picked for the Test sid...

Namibia just lost to Oman. Series tied 1-1 apiece. Even if they win the series 4-1 they will likely fall/stay behind Zimbabwe for now.
