2023 ODI World Cup Discussion

If a batsman gets an inside edge, has no reviews left, and is given out, then after seeing on big screen I'm expecting fielding team captain to withdraw appeal and bring back the batter.

Spirit of game right, you have seen with your eyes that batsman had an inside edge, how can you not call him back?

You can't pick and choose when you want to show spirit of cricket. Do it all the time if you advocate for it.

Spirit of the game is not to be seen as an ultimate judge which undermines the dynamics of a match.
A match consists also of human errors made by umpires or opposition appealing for something that video check would prove wrong.
In your example we may have a good (or bad) faith appeal, then there has been the decision of the umpire.

I agree that teams be granted only a limited number of reviews. After that there is the human error of the umpire.
The alternative would be a relentless review of every possible lbw, edges, etc. It would turn out in afternoons spent mostly on watching slo-motions rather than playing a game.

So, my opinion is that I prefer a game with likely errors made by both the umpires and the captain who appeals.
If a human error component is accepted, no breach of the spirit of the game is applicable.

Upset loading here.
I don't think Australia will chase this

[Googly]

Fuck me these cheating c%#ts are now claiming Zadran is also 21.
It's too much, they need to ban these fuckers until they can at least count.

[Googly]

They need to devise an age test that uses a 2ft long Anal Intruder to take a colon snip half way to your liver to discourage this bullshit.

[Googly]

He looks at least 5 years older than Gurbaz (also claims he's 21) and who is about 27.

[Googly]

Zimbabweans by and large see no wrong either.
They'd happily send the men's national rugby team up against Grade 5's if there was a trophy at the end of it.
Assuming they won, of course.

[Googly]

They should have the U13 World Cup where Afghanistan and whoever else wishes to partake can send their full strength mens' teams. You can't be half pregnant, you're either a piece of shit cheat or you're not, there's no half measures.

[Googly]

Both Hazmat (aged 11) and Mujiba (aged 9) were in our T10. Damned fine bowlers for any age group.

Australia are going to get rolled. Afghanistan have come of age. (See what I did there?)

[sam_ahm]

I can't believe what Afghanistan are doing here. Spot on Googly, this is not an easy chase. Aussies 4 down, imagine if Eng had some how beaten them... They would have been stuck on 8

[Googly]

Jeezus what a drop.
I'd like to see an outrageous hundred from Maxwell after that reprieve
