Hash is a legend, no question. But, you have to question is selection for the World Cup given his lack of form, lack of preparation and his mental state with his father being on sick bed, which was also the reason why he declined to play domestic cricket leading up to the WC. Any cricketer will tell you, net practice is not the same as time in the middle. Its the same with IDT vs riding out in the real world. Hash has an immense record and nothing can make him less of a legend.

I knew that Fat Boys very well [emoji85]

Nice little runout off a noball, if the graph is accurate - not that i care because its India [emoji23]

My year has been made, tata tata hasie hasie. Tsek back to Mumbai.

how long did this guy run around for before he was escorted off? haha.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP5SXkRHmLs

a miserable Fernando Alonso is still better than a cry-baby Vettel/Hamilton/Rosberg/Verstappen. But Schumi had FA's number

Jip! I really like this Pakistan side, they have some talent in there, they just need to stay focused and play to their ability. I feel the same about the Windies, so much talent just a pity they are not winning the big moments! I mean they keep getting so close, yesterday was such a good game and the match of the tournament for me is definitely the Windies v NZ game. So close!!! But in all likeliness its going to be Aus v Eng in the first semi, and NZ v India in the other. Aus v India in the final. On the day either of them can win it, but i’d have to say Aus in my opinion are the most likely to pull it off.

To be honest, i think the wickets have been so unpredictable that teams were reluctant to bat first. Also it being played in the UK with their unpredictable weather it might have been a preference to know what the DLS par score is when chasing and then pacing your innings accordingly. But my old mate, im still of the opinion that having runs on the board almost always gives you a slight advantage. Big game tomorrow for the Poms.

At least we won something ????

@Shebeen, in keeping with our little healthy debate, i saw this stat on cricinfo’s page on vleisboek. Im at sea with the statsguru thing, can you verify its accuracy?

I agree its ridiculous. But nothing stops any broadcaster to do what good old bankrupt SABC is doing and commentate while watching the tv feed. I know its hilarious but its better than nothing? Even though we have to listen to those clowns.

Yes the last 2 WCs were won by the home team, but we are talking about Oz and India, not England. My prediction stands, Poms wont win it.

Pakistan’s win today is REALLY putting the pressure on the Poms. They cannot afford to lose against India or NZ. Pakistan’s last game is against Bangladesh, if they win that game, the Poms cannot qualify for the semis! Interesting exchange between Bairstow and Michael Vaughn in the media. Lets see how the players respond now that the pressure is really on! I called it before the start of the WC. Home side pressure as well as being tagged as favourites will result in them not winning the WC. Its the nature of the beast i guess.

My utter disdain for the Indian Parkie League is well written on here.

So in theory we can still qualify after the poms lost to SL. Reality is we dont play cricket in THEORY but in REALITY. ????

Agreed. Just ask Graeme Joffe.

If you were at Headingley for the Donald/Klusener runout you were probably watching it on the tv, as that game was played at Edgbaston. The Gibbs drop was at Headingley. What game were you watching? Yes i am grumpy. Grumpy that we are also-rans in this world cup. [leaves room, kicking the dogs and smashing the furniture]

Patch, im liking you more and more...????

Point taken ????

haha, ja, it was crazy funny...

therein lies the difference? listening to instructions and then executing said instructions at speed. controlled chaos?

Ken couldn't quite cut it as a WRC pilot, I often wonder why. Maybe because it's less of a controlled environment??? Love his videos, he clearly has skill.

haha, now now, stick to the topic
