    We're talking about MLB baseball. You probably don't, unless Pablo Sandoval became Bo Jackson overnight and I somehow missed it. Let me know when their outfielders ditch the giant-ass gloves

  • Still all this nonsense about "Dhonis role" in the ODI side. It's called "winner."

Supposedly they will resume play in about 10 minutes and SA will have to complete the chase in 17 overs instead of 20.  This is just stupid.  Why do I follow this dumbass sport?

SA in prime SA choke mode right now.  Had it down to about 4.2 runs per over with 6 wickets in hand.  Now we're at 6.2 per over with only 4 wickets in hand.

SA find a way to cross the line in the last over.  They took what should have been a snoozer to the last over with plenty of drama.  Bastards got 6 points in their group with a Net Run Rate of 0.599.  By comparison, the Poms only got 4 points with a Net Run Rate of 1.992.

Rooting for anyone but England as usual.

fuckin travis head almost pulled it out for Australia today. but fuck em

lmao at Jonathan trott, the Afghani coach, signaling in a player to go down with cramps as rain comes down and they're ahead of the DLS par score

For such a low scoring match, you couldn't pack in more drama than the AFG-BAN match.  I hate the DLS, but it made things interesting with the rain and three teams' hopes for advancing riding on the result.

Forecast in Guyana still lookin real rainy for Semi final #2. India would advance as group winners in case of a washout, but I want to see them play England.

Two best teams in the tournament matched up in the final. India will be favored, but SA won't be scared.

Should be a low-scoring affair.  India has an advantage in the spin department with Kuldeep and Axar but Maharaj for SA ain’t no slouch.  If Rohit goes for 50+ again, India should win, but if he doesn’t it will be close.

Well, two wickets down in 2.3 overs. Don’t let QdK win it by himself and this is India’s match. 

Wish the RRR was higher before bringing Bumrah had to come back on. They can tuk tuk him and target the other bowlers. 

HUUUUUUUUGGGGEEEEE wicket by Pandya 

24 from that over was pathetic

needed to bring some pace to disrupt them. not sure why bumrah or pandya wasn't brought in earlier

lol just as we say that

Pace bowlers did the business. Rohit tried to blow it by trotting out spinners on a pitch that was doing nothing. 

absolutely. pacers were unbelievable at the end

2 for 18 for arshdeep, 2 for 20 for bumrah, and 3 for 20 for pandya is incredible

definitely thought it was over after the 24 run over from axar

Bumrah had an economy rate of 4.15 for the tournament second best all time was something like 4.5 by Hasaranga in 2021.  That is domination.  Well deserved MOTS for him.

Good, they need to step aside and let the young’uns get a chance.  Can’t believe Jaiswal didn’t get a game the entire tournament.

India should not participate in the Champions Trophy if it is being held in Pakistan. Full stop.

It is time for Rohit and Kohli to move on. I thought Rohit made a poor decision to bat first on a pitch where India scored 181 in a victory and Australia had put up 201 on the same ground in this tournament. Compared to India, South Africa played slow bowling very well considering they batted second on the pitch. Kohli's slow and deliberate approach may have very well cost India the game if it not for South Africa collapsing at the end of their batting innings and SKY's out of this world catch. Hardik Pandya only getting two deliveries is not appropriate in T20 format. Luckily, Shivam Dube was serviceable, but he was mostly ass this tournament. Two overs - one from Kuldeep and one from Akshar nearly handed South Africa the trophy.  

The Indian batting lineup was flawed from the get go. Yashasvi deserved to be the starting opener and it is stupid not to open with a lefty/righty combination. Kohli should have played at three - his natural position and I would have considered Akshar at 4 for the ability to build a proper partnership while maintaining that L/R combo. Then I would have gone SKY, Pant, Hardik, Dube, and Jadeja in order to ensure the best chances of belting runs once the batting innings were half over.

That graph is gnarly.

After Akshar's final over bowling, India were legitimately dead in the water. The curse against the SENA nations was going to rear its ugly head again.

India's matches will most likely be moved to the UAE. Always tough to predict the law-and-order situation in Pakistan but the other teams seem determined to make a go of it.

Good to know. If other cricketing nations want to follow in Sri Lanka's footsteps, be my guest.

Both England and Australia have played test series there so I imagine they would give it a go.  Maybe.

I had to go back and watch the last part of the second innings because I still can't believe what I saw.  Last five overs of pace bowlers, 22 runs for four wickets.  Bumrah, Pandya and Arshdeep let their nuts hang in the biggest moment of the tournament.  That was unreal.

This will go down as one of my favorite matches of all time and I'm not a big fan of hits and giggles T20.  The Gabba test win and Lords win in 2021 are still my recent favorites - Eden Gardens test against Australia is overall #1 for me.  I still get a chuckle out of the Lords win because it was against the Poms and dumbass Joe Root wanted his bowlers to rough up Bumrah and Shami.  Those two wound up tonking the England bowlers and put the game back in India's hands after most thought it was best case draw for India after day 4.

Border-Gavaskar starts up tomorrow evening at 8:20pm Central time.  India need to get their shit together after being embarrassed in a 3-nil whitewash by the Kiwis in India just recently.

Great start for India, they've already lost three wickets for 32 runs.  Fucking jerkoffs can't hit shit.

I are dumbass.  India is bossing this match and making Australia look like some rank grade cricketers.  Jaiswal and KLR pissed all over any hopes Australia had.  Bumrah already has two wickets in 2.2 overs in the AUS second innings.

Thinking back to India's second innings, it would have been big dick energy for Bumrah to declare right before Kohli hit his century.  I would have applauded that move.

India with the 295 run pummeling of AUS was not on my bingo card after a 3-0 home series loss to the Kiwis.  Damn AUS looked terrible.
