@donsteppa yeah well KP is just a giant fuckhead so it's very easy to ignore anything that he produces.
Yep. Mate of mine took his cricket-mad & Pieterson-mad son down to Southampton to watch Warne & Pieterson play. They waited outside the dressing room with about 20 other kids and Pieterson simply barged thru, ignoring them and went straight to his car. Warnie spent 30 minutes with the kids, signing everything in sight and giving an impromptu coaching session.
But that's the difference between a dickhead and a genuine cricket great.
Warnie was probably angling to see if any of them had fit mums...

Pietersen was a fucken good player, very exciting to watch. Definitely in the top echelon of England batsmen. Can’t speak for his personality but he wasn’t too far below Warne in terms of cricket ability.
Warnie has at times proven himself to be a colossal dickwad at times too.

So glad I got up to watch delayed this morning. Meant a late finish at work but I was buzzing all day. Kudos to the NZ fielding, the bowling of Timmy and Trent the positive spirit and the calm approach of our batsmen under huge pressure. Woakes bowled extremely well for 3 overs but the player who saw him off in that spell knew how to destroy him at the end. And nice to 'father of Daryl Mitchell' watching proudly in the stands. Amazing displays by Conway and Neesham too. What a team!

did we win the game at the toss
gotta say, didn't expect to see this when i woke up. These boys never fail to surprise me
I'm a petty guy, but part of my enjoyment in this is social media. I fucking loooove watching the mental gymnastics Indian fans have to perform to argue they are still the best team in the world across all formats. And how we're plucky underdogs who keep getting lucky.
lol fuck off Ranjit, your team of mentally weak millionaires just suck a bit.
If Pakistan make the final, we're a chance. If Australia make the final we are fucked.
Kinda want Aus to make the final, and obviously us beat them.
That way we will have beaten India, England AND Australia. All the fucking selfish power broking arsewipes.
Would make it that much sweeter.

Aussie are our kryptonite.
Think you're fucking Superman?
We've got a lot of work to do to get past Pakistan yet.
What was the last world championship final your guys played in ... and won?

I was in Melbourne in 2015. We got pumped. Aussie had an awesome bowling attack. Relentless

2015 ... jeez 6 and a half years ago. That's like basically 10 years ago.
So Australia hasn't won anything for over 10 years, and since then we've won the Test Championship and not lost the ODI CWC.
How's my logic?

The scar tissue runs deep
-
An okay if a bit of a nervous start from Pakistan. 0-38 after 5
-
Zampa all class. Tightened the screws and then gets a wicket on the final ball of his second over. He has 1-7 off 2.
-
A nasty bouncer from Starc. Hits Rizwan on the helmet grill.
-
Aussies have bowled two beamers and both have been hit for 4.
-
Hazelwood goes for 21 in his final over.
1-143 after 17.
-
Brilliant reflexes by the umpire to avoid a dead straight whack by Zaman
