Some beautiful bowling from Theekshana.

This looks like it might be over already.

Sorry
Disappointing but not entirely unexpected, unfortunately, particularly after getting crushed by Afghanistan in the week.
There’s a lot of negativity around squad selection and today’s team selection that seems to be getting to the players. Pooran’s had an abysmal IPL but he’s justified in starting to keep wicket. Gayle is being picked primarily on sentiment at the moment, though. Narine is a huge absence.

Not sure if there is an IPL-style fair play league table for the World Cup but I suspect Sri Lanka might not top it if there is.

This is a really great performance from Asalanka.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 24 October 2021 13:15 (four years ago)
Disastrous over.

Shaheen is on fire.

Flawless.

That's awesome

Mujeeb ripping through Scotland. Three in an over.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 25 October 2021 16:15 (four years ago)
This is not unexpected but I think Afghanistan will cause a couple of upsets on these pitches.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 25 October 2021 16:16 (four years ago)
I see that, rather than getting bowled out for 55, we're aiming to finish all twenty overs at 55-0.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 10:12 (four years ago)
lol, they’ve started swinging for sixes as soon as I posted that.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 10:21 (four years ago)
This is looking like 15-20 short of a competitive total, i think.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 26 October 2021 11:36 (four years ago)
Outrageous call. The ball bounced.

Cricket SA have confirmed de Kock was dropped from the team for refusing to take a knee.

dear me this is rancid

first ten overs: two boundaries

Pollard has ragequit
― imago, Friday, 29 October 2021 11:12 (four years ago)
Yes, and came back to hit a six when Pooran and Holder had shown it wasn’t impossible.
I don’t think this will be enough with the bowlers we have but at least there’s a game.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 29 October 2021 11:58 (four years ago)
I think without extras and Holder/Pooran, they were 67 off 92 balls before he connected on the last one.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Friday, 29 October 2021 12:00 (four years ago)
Never in doubt.

That's the worst winning performance I can recall in a while. Bangladesh completely pathetic
― imago, Friday, 29 October 2021 13:55 (four years ago)
Asif is such a brilliant finisher.

6-6-66
Unbelievable hitting.

This is making me feel a little better about England vs West Indies.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 30 October 2021 14:33 (four years ago)
England are not fucking around

India looking extremely shaky again.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 31 October 2021 14:16 (four years ago)
64 balls, and counting, since the last boundary.

Loool

You absolutely love to see it

India are an affectless mess (although I don't imagine Kohli will be affectless in the dressing room).Also, fuck me, the stadium announcers.
― Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Sunday, 31 October 2021 17:00 (four years ago)
It’s inexplicable how a team who have all spent months playing T20 in the same stadiums can look so completely at sea with the conditions.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Sunday, 31 October 2021 17:04 (four years ago)
Burn-out I guess? There must be an element of the thing you've been doing non-stop for god knows how long in isolation beginning to lose all meaning, even with Virat glowering at you and it being a world cup

Batting second is tbf a monster advantage. The only teams to have lost doing so in the second phase have been Scotland, Bangladesh (who should have won) and Namibia
― imago, Monday, 1 November 2021 10:02 (four years ago)
When one of the major teams wins batting first against another major team, this world cup will have progressed beyond the 'farrago' category imo
― imago, Monday, 1 November 2021 10:05 (four years ago)
split the game into four innings of ten overs IMO
― Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Monday, 1 November 2021 11:02 (four years ago)
I find it hard to believe that conditions change so much over the course of an hour and a half to explain the West Indies, Australia and India top order flailing wildly at everything but England, NZ and Pakistan looking effortless but idk.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 1 November 2021 11:23 (four years ago)
NZ didn't look effortless when asked to bat first
― imago, Monday, 1 November 2021 11:42 (four years ago)
Ok, watching England, i'm converted to the theory.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 1 November 2021 14:31 (four years ago)
yep
― imago, Monday, 1 November 2021 14:52 (four years ago)
this second ten overs had best be an orgy of self-destructive hitting. sick of seeing every fucking team freeze batting first

Funny feeling we're watching Eoin Morgan's final game as a pro cricketer
― imago, Monday, 1 November 2021 15:04 (four years ago)
Yep. He's a good captain but has been absolutely terrible as a batsman all year in T20. He needs to do a Pollard and get Moeen in to bat.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 1 November 2021 15:11 (four years ago)
Or do that :D
― imago, Monday, 1 November 2021 15:14 (four years ago)
Yep, they’ve both woken up.

Kumara is, as we've seen, completely hopeless tbf
