2023 Cricket World Cup - Other Matches

Shakib is a fuckwit (which I thought prior to this) and I think it's a the wrong call to appeal, but I can't hold it against him too much.
The thing that annoys me about this is that if he'd faced one ball and then had the strap break he'd have been allowed to fuck around as long as he needed to get it right. Needs more consistency.
-
If Bangladesh could have made the semis, I could have got behind the decision easier. They cant, so I'm surprised they went ahead with it. However it is still within the rules no matter how ugly it looked.

@bayimports Win helped with qualification into Champions Trophy. Bangles now (currently) sit in the last qualifying position.

Hah brilliant. First time ever in ODIs. Mathews given out without facing a ball for not being ready to face within 2 minutes. Helmet strap issue.
Hasn’t he heard of Viv Richards or Richie Richardson ?
Pussy.
But yeah, easy for us to criticise from our armchairs but surely he could have gone out to the middle and THEN fucked around with his strap for as long as he wanted ?
Shit situation, if he’d cracked a massive score then Hasan might be held accountable.
-
The rule is be ready to face a ball, so even if he was in his crease if he's standing around waiting for a new helmet he'd still be given out.
The stats nerd in me is glad it's finally happened though, I believe every form of dismissal has now happened in international cricket.

Afghanistan had Aussies on the ropes at 7/91. Big Show is smacking it around (with some luck). Cummins just trying to survive and hold down an end.
Aussies are 7/183 after 32
-
This is phenomenal stuff from Big Show
-
-
Astonishing stuff from Maxwell. Scores a double ton to win the match. Basically his second hundred was with his body in full cramp mode. The no feet movement hitting was superb.
Afghanistan choke does the Black Caps a favour….

Several records in that chase - highest chase at that ground; highest total by an Aussie at a CWC

Did I hear it's the highest amount of runs in a winning chase after the second wicket has fallen?

He's awesome. @MN5 I think the nickname was initially ironic (you'd hope so) but he is an incredible talent. Wow.
He’s certainly a very “modern” cricketer that’s for sure.
I do wonder what Geoffrey Boycott thinks of these kind of innings though.
