SL with a big win in England. Makes it very tough for England to make it to the FInal now.

India obv still in pole position. You have to say that Australia look likely to take the other final spot, even if they underwhelm vs India at home.

The WTC seems to be quite competitive this time around.

Pakistan is a minor nation now? I guess they did lose to the United States.
Pakistan have been a minor nation for a long while now. In fact, Sri Lanka have achieved as much - if not more - than what Pakistan has in the last 10-15 years. Not to beat a dead horse, but getting whitewashed by Bangladesh at home kinda reiterates the point if losing to the USA, and always losing 1 game per series to Zimbabwe haven't already.

In other news, 3 days rained out in the NZ-Afghan test. Poor scheduling, and you've got feel for the Afghans who play so little Test cricket in not getting an opportunity to demostrate their rise in ODIs and T20Is can be replicated in the most prestigous format as well.

They play more test cricket than their women’s team :lol:

What’s the deal with the ground? I’ve seen photos circulating showing sods of turf dug up, looks excessive for a rain affected match.

Shadystan making england work hard. Shan Masood 150 then out chipping it back to old Jack Leach. Blatant fixing :lol:

Looks like batting on the Islamabad expressway. Game finely in the balance. Shadystan with the runs on the board, tailor made deck for bazball but both sides with a propensity to implode and lose what should be a nailed on draw.

Shadystan taking the new ball 3 balls into the over instead of the start is the most blatant spot fixing ever :lol: :lol:

Zimdesh getting proper smacked here. Lost a Test in 2 days and getting all sorts of crushed in T20s by India A.

However, I was a bit surprised to see young Tanzim Sakib clocking 147.2 km/h on his wicket taking ball. I did see him get up to 90 mph during the World Cup but wasn't sure if it was a speed gun error. 150 may not be far off for him...

Only 9 tests since his last 50 though. Teams play so few tests these days time is meaningless. Also makes it hard for anyone to get into form.
