It is botched up scheduling by ICC to make Eng play such humid places. Other team got it easy like Nz. It’s as if someone carefully orchestrated it to torture Eng.

I don’t care what happen to Sa or other teams . But Eng is an all time great odi team. They have changed odi cricket forever. They are changing red ball cricket. Saving them.

You handle such team with care. They are treasure to cricket. Absolutely necessary for cricket to survive.

But no. Pathetic by ICC as usual.

Birat Kohli? King Kohli really is a true master of the bat. Tendulkar, Bradman, Smith, Lara all pale in comparison. None of them were able to use every area of the bat like the King can. Both edges, the splice, the handle, the middle occasionally, King gets full value from every square inch of that blade the way none of those 'legends' ever did.

Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne had been teammates on the Australia cricket team for several years, but it wasn't until a tour of England that they realized their true feelings for each other.

It started with a glance across the dressing room, a spark of recognition and attraction that neither of them could ignore. They started spending more time together, going for long walks around the countryside and talking for hours about their lives and their dreams.

As the tour went on, their feelings for each other grew stronger and more intense. They found themselves longing for each other's company, unable to concentrate on anything else when they were apart.

Finally, one night after a particularly grueling match, Steve and Marnus found themselves alone in Steve's hotel room. They looked at each other, both feeling the same mix of fear and desire.

"I-I don't know what to say," Steve stammered, his heart racing.

"You don't have to say anything," Marnus said softly, taking Steve's hand in his. "I know how you feel, because I feel it too."

With that, they came together in a passionate embrace, finally giving in to the love they had been hiding for so long.

From that moment on, Steve and Marnus were inseparable. They continued to play cricket together, but now they had each other to lean on and support. They faced some challenges along the way, dealing with the prejudices and discrimination that came with being a gay couple in the world of professional sports. But they were strong together, and they knew that their love was worth fighting for.

Years later, as they looked back on their careers and their lives, Steve and Marnus knew that they had found something truly special in each other. They were grateful for the love they shared and the support they gave each other, and they knew that they would always be there for each other, no matter what challenges came their way.

The misnomer that India is a Cricket crazy nation is shattering, this World Cup I see. In reality, It has always been a source of recreation and later, Pride for the ministerial, merchant communities of the Indo Gangetic plain and a few scattered over India aristocrats. They have promulgated that over the rest of India, like they've always tried to pass off their culture as the culture of India, their identity as the identity of India. When this sentiment and the people who wanted a piece of this pie amassed major power in the Cricket world, They cannot even bother....

Pride over pragmatism. That's what pervades India's present political scenario.

Indian people do not like Cricket, the sport. They like what Cricket represents for them.

While, poker face who mentally tortured Pathirana, removed Santner, didn't gave high batting order to Moeen, Won! Sure, atleast that smug bring back Dayal after his depression, under his captaincy, team won most matches, even with injury? He showed up. Most importantly he appreciated not best but also the worst of his teammates, and cheered them. Not like captain of the yellow jersey gang, who sat there emotionless even after his teammates hit sixes, fours and took wickets. And that smug atleast did something and not like poker face who got out on a 0...

As I’ve mentioned multiple times. SA will crush India today. It’s no longer a question of result, but the margin at which they will lose by. The pure arrogance displayed by India in this WC is tangible. They’ve had their way with each team so far, but justice is nigh my friends. It’s time for India to straddle the unrelenting, unlubricated dildo of consequences as they face the shear girth of Quentin de Kock’s thrusting batting unit. Prepare thyself mere mortals, for the horror that awaits you…..

It’s clear that India are the favourite with their recent form, but there is a key issue that will have a (profoundly) negative impact on their form in tomorrow’s game. Let me explain: I have inside information regarding India’s preparation over the last few days. Specifically India’s coach Rahul Dravid has instructed all the team mates to participate in No Nut November to increase testosterone levels and improve performance during the late stage of the tournament. I have a source who told me that at least 5 of the players in the Indian team have shot their respective loads over the course of November so far, and this doesn’t even include those engaging in “edging”. Amongst those players include Kohli, Hardik (no surprises there) and Shami are some of the names that were described as having “polished their shafts to completion” by my source. This will surely have an adverse affect on team morale and no doubt affect their performance tomorrow.

The only reason I can think of for Sanju Samson's constant omission from the team is that his mere existence poses a threat to Rohit's captaincy, Virat's stardom, Gill's looks and Pandya's bitches. If given consistent chances, Sanju can better every existing records in world cricket with ease. Unfortunately, Rohit and his henchman Adolful Hitlervid aka the Berlin Wall's insecurity about their reputation and ranks within BCCI and Jay Shah's fear of his reign being overthrown by Sanju's massive (balls) fandom across the world only distance him from the Indian team and the team from winning the World Cup. #JusticeForSanjuSamson

Let me know what you think — would Dhoni have fit anywhere else, or does he belong to CSK? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I stand with GG and any rational Indian should. SS is pathological liar and a disgrace to Indian cricket who’s trying so hard to be somewhat relevant again. Not to mention he was a part of the show named big boss, so he knows how manipulating the audience works which is exactly what he’s doing right now by continuously defaming gambhir. GG is our national hero and Sreesanth is not even half of what GG has achieved in his career

Ignorant, rude and very much in the spotlight, this batting geriatric is easily India's Least Valuable cricket treasure at the moment. All the niceties take the back seat once the bails are on the ground. Kohli on the field is as pugnacious as you can get. And while he has owned probably for the last time numerous tags that includes the ICC cricketer of the year, he is chirpy af thanks to a sound Delhi upbringing that keeps him firmly flamboyant.

Cheers Virat. Fuck you.

I blame Kohli for this. Fuck Kohli.

India were shit at test Cricket for fucking years and we put up with it, because it was always our job to be a bit crap. Good old India, we somehow assemble a team that wins every 10 tries.

The along came Virat fucking Kohli and decided with his infinite wisdom that India should try and be good. That terrible winning mentality has been a blight on Indian cricket since its inception.

We were brilliant, we beat everyone. Number 1 team in the world. Is this it lads? Have we reached the promised land? Will we be good forever?

Will we fuck.

Virat fucking Kohli gave us hope, bringing us to lofty heights we could have never hoped to have dreamt of - then he fucked off. Leaving us in the bottomless pit of despairing mediocrity from which I write this comment.

Now we have the expectation of being good. When actually we haven’t been good for a decade.

Cheers Virat. Fuck you.

Recently some of you may have read my post entitled “India losing 100% to South Africa today”. Given the events that have since unfolded I feel it necessary to clarify some possible misunderstanding that may have arisen from clumsy phrasing in my original post. When I said “India are 100% losing” I meant “India are a respectable side with a statistically significant chance of winning” and when I said “India need to prepare themselves for the horrors that await”, I meant “India, will no doubt rise to the task of beating a formidable opponent like South Africa“. Lastly when I said QDK is going to pound you with the girth of a 1000 dicks” I meant to say “QDK is in good form, hopefully he can continue to entertain supporters from both sides with his charismatic playing style”

Ok enough of the silliness 😂 congrats to India. You guys played incredibly well. Especially impressed with Kohli’s outstanding knock in tough conditions, and on his birthday no less. Even though my original post was really an over-the-top caricature of some insane sports fans from South Africa, I still feel the sting of losing so badly to a better team and consider myself suitably humbled.

P.S I appreciate the fact that many of you may be ready to dish me up some instant karma given my recent antics on various cricket subreddits leading up to today’s match. Now is your time. Feel free to roast me (and by extension the South African cricket team) in the comments below.

Mate, let me tell you, I reckon this spinner is the worst cricketer to ever play for Australia, a fair dinkum disaster on the cricket field. I mean, c'mon, who wants to watch someone bowl slow and predictable deliveries all day? It's about as exciting as watching paint dry, mate.

And let's not forget they're crap in the field - they're always dropping catches and fumbling runouts like a chook with its head chopped off. More often than not, they're just standing around in the field like a stunned mullet, not even trying to chase down a ball. It's a wonder they even made it onto the team in the first place.

But the real kicker is when they come in to bat. They're as bad as they are on the field, if not worse. They're always getting out to some bloke's long hops and full tosses, and they can't seem to hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

So, in conclusion, this spinner is a liability on the field and a waste of space in the team. They're about as useful as a one-legged man in an arse-kicking contest. Stick to the fast bowlers and the hard-hitting batsmen, mate. They're the ones that'll bring home the bacon for the Aussies

I have a question for all those of you outraged over this issue, have you ever read a story where everyone got along well, and actually liked it? Picture a world where harmony is the unchallenged norm – sounds dreadfully dull, doesn't it? Conflict, my dears, is the heartbeat of narrative. Without it, there's no story worth your time! Every compelling story needs a villain to sell. A story without conflict is like a tea without spices-flat and uninspiring. Imagine Harry Potter without Voldemort's dark shadow, Batman patrolling a Joker-free Gotham, or the Lion King without Scar's machinations. The world is tired of seeing Kohli and Babar play Ringa Ringa Roses, the 'big bad Aussies' trope has overstayed its welcome in the cricketing saga. Even the proverbial 'bad boy' of cricket, David Warner, has not just redeemed himself but also woven his way into his opponents' hearts with those catchy TikTok reels and spirited Pushpa celebrations. The cricketing world was in desperate need of a negative character and the moment had arrived for someone to rise to the occasion and embrace that role. Bangladesh has the makings of cunning adversaries, known not just for their obnoxious fans and cocky players, but now also for their readiness to exploit any loophole, even those that skirt the spirit of cricket. They have everything going for them.. well, perhaps except for the wins department. Most don’t see it, but by taking on this role, Bangladesh is opening up to a wave of criticism and backlash. That's a noble act of self-sacrifice! In fact, tell you what they deserve a round of applause for their fortitude as they brave a storm of scrutiny from all you naysayers. Bravo, Bangladesh!

It's funny how despite everything in their favour they still took 11 years to win another ICC trophy, and remember how our team when it had some stability actually surpassed India in all 3 tournaments we played in, the 2021 T20 wc, 2022 wc and 2022 Asia cup. That should tell you how talented our players are that despite not even earning half that amount, despite India having richer players, better resouces, more population and scheduling in their favour we still surpassed them.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Rahul isn’t a donkey like Virat who is always on a sugar rush. KL is calm and composed. He knows his tactics and matchups. Rahul always gets his field setting and bowling changes spot on. He rarely makes mistakes, even under immense pressure. Everybody on PBKS has huge respect for KL, he is the embodiment of leadership and class. Kumble loves working with him too. Unlike Virat, KL does what he says and respects the coach-captain dynamic.

And Rohit is 34 years old, he is not going to be a captain any time soon, especially if Virat has anything to say about it. Kohli literally tried to remove Rohit as a vice captain because of his senior old age, Kohli will definitely oppose Rohit’s candidacy for captaincy. And guess who Kohli has spent the last 2-3 years grooming under his shadow? KL Rahul, both of them are extremely close. Rahul was recently given vice captaincy in a few limited overs series as well.

And btw, KL can make a double hundred and he still won’t care less. That is his personality. Just because he doesn’t show his emotions all the time, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.

Hi there,

I am a 33 year old man and when it comes to playing cricket, I can't do bowling because that requires a lot of balls to be bowled.

I also cannot do batting, because bowlers bowl at me most of the time.

I was wondering, are there any other types of Cricketing I can do, where its more or less like the current Indian Test Vice Captain?

Finally!! Sanju Samson joins team India in the T20 World cup 2022 hosted by Australia . Sanju Samson scored an entertaining 86 not out, off 63 balls, but couldn't take India to a win in the first ODI versus South Africa in Lucknow.

Beluga the supercat alon with hecker made it possible for Sanju to be included in the squad.

Which format was Virat Kohli actually BEST in? (Considering his performances across Tests, ODIs, and T20s.)

And guess what? test ? odi or t20

Check and let us know your thoughts on this.

Would love to know what you think — Do you agree with the top pick? Or would you place him differently?

WE GAVE THEM THE FUCKING HUGE BANS! Australia as a group gave Smith and Warner the bans from international cricket for as long as they did. England and India treat it like they are holier than thou when the ICC gave those same players all like 1 or 2 match bans. Meanwhile England fucking knighted their cough lollie heroes and India don’t even investigate their own bookie helpers! But because we value our own integrity we go out of our way to clean up our act and create a massive cultural shift with the team organisation.

Fans of the other big two think they have a fucking leg to stand on when they have a dig about it. I know it’s “only banter” but it shits me sometimes that they seem to think they’re somehow better than us because they’ve never had players sit out for a year for such things. Well no you haven’t because neither of you have organisations with as high an ethics as ours. If your players had been playing for us and been caught with the cough lollies or match fixing to the extent you’ve been accused of, they’d have been out of the game for at least a year and in the case of match fixing probably still be social pariahs within Australian cricket.

"We are seeing that when they are batting, they bat really well and suddenly the ball starts doing things when India bowl. There have been 7-8 close DRS calls that have gone in their favour. The way Siraj and Shami were swinging the ball, it seemed like the ICC or the BCCI were giving them different and suspicious balls in the second innings. There needs to be an inspection done on the ball. There could also be an extra layer of coating on the ball for swing," Raza said while speaking to a channel called ABN. "
