Did these spineless cowards observe a minute silence for palestine? Fuck me.
Don't think they'd do that for a nation of largely brown people.

2007 Cricket World Cup had the best format - 16 teams, 4 groups of 4, every match counts.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Idk what the metric for “competitive” is but I felt the 2019 WC ended up quite competitive from the following perspective.

Bangladesh finished 8th place. However, had the game vs SL not been washed out, based on 2019 form, Bangladesh would have very likely finished 6th, and only one game away from a possible semi-final berth. Apart from Afghanistan, every team won at least 2 games and the win distributions were pretty even: two teams with 7 wins, one with 6, two with 5, three teams with 3…to me that’s a competitive tournament. Might just be English conditions make for an even competition between bat and ball or pace vs spin.

We will have to see how 2023 goes.

I'd like to see Gurbaz do well today. Brilliant batsman.
I have no idea why they won't play Noor Ahmed

I've noticed Moslem batters kneel when having a drink. Am I imagining that or is it a thing?

They just lost me again. Trying to claim Gurbaz is 21 years old. Hopefully they get smashed
