I want to see if the ICC going and fine India AND Australia for failure to complete 90 overs on days 2-4.

Yup They did.

India was fined 100% of its match fee plus Shubman Gill was fined an additional 15% (so he had to put out money to pay) for putting the catch on Twitter.

Australia was fined 80% of its match fee.

Sorry Dizzy28: I did not see your post before I made mine.

I want to see if the ICC going and fine India AND Australia for failure to complete 90 overs on days 2-4.

Satisfied?

India have been fined 100 per cent of their match fee and Australia 80 per cent of their match fee for maintaining slow over-rates in the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 Final at The Oval.

Bruv you really reading into these games?
Teams are not named beforehand, the batting XI doesn't necessarily have to bowl and vice versa.
There isn't really much to go on except to see how ppl handle the conditions.

[bluefete]

Say what you want, it still gives an indication, no matter how many people bat or bowl.

here, hold this live and keep quiet

That's true
WI didn't bat 50 overs in their first game and I anticipate that that will be an indication of things to come

I really hope you are wrong on that. But we all know WI by now.

UAE 211/9 (44 overs)

[DMan7]

WI beat the UAE AGAIN??!!!!

In big people cricket

Ashes 1st test - Day 1 - England 393/8 declared - Root 118 n.o / Bairstow 78

[Dohplaydat]

I've seen bold declarations but that was bold AF, love the aggression for England

[bluefete]

Let's hope it does not backfire on them.

[Dizzy28]

This is the real test of Bazball.
A team that could give as good they get.

I don't think it was a bad decision, risky but if they had gotten a wicket yesterday that would have been genius so definitely worth taking the risk still.

So far this game is really evenly poised, I expect Aus will come close to 350 but not exceed England first innings score.

[DMan7]

REAL CRICKET begins tomorrow. WI vs USA in World Cup qualifying tournament.

[Dizzy28]

WI playing teams at their level. Should be competitive

REAL CRICKET begins tomorrow. WI vs USA in World Cup qualifying tournament.

[DMan7]

Let's hope we can at least qualify for the ODI world cup main tournament later this year.

[bluefete]

USA had WI 23/2 and almost 23/3 when a man dropped a sitter.

WI 87/2 in 20overs.

Nepal 126/0 in 26 overs - going good against Zimbabwe

Games live on Flow 262 and up.

[bluefete]

I am convinced that WI not going to come out of these qualifiers in the top 3.

WI 143/4 (30 0vers) v USA. If yuh see the dotish outs Charles and Hope get. Dumb, dumb, dumb!

[Dizzy28]

WI bowled out before 50 overs
Consistency!!!!!

A A uncle Blue we beating people bai!

[bluefete]

A A uncle Blue we beating people bai!

Imagine a USA player scored a century against the WI. Zimbabwe demolished Nepal who made a pretty good score.

I will take it but WI played total crap today. Ian Bishop was commentating on the Nepal - Zimbabwe game. Zimbabwean crowd was lit like THAT! Really great to see the mental attitude of that team.

WI clearly do not have it (mental fortitude). Why is Dr. Rudi Webster not a part of the team management?

[DMan7]

You better take in this win eh, this might be the ONLY win that WI has in this group. NEPAL and ZIM looking dangerous and Netherlands is a very competitive team too. I won't be surprised at all if NEPAL and ZIM comes out of the group.

[trinigamer]

Oman beat Ireland yes.

Aussies might pull it out in the 1st Test against England.

Yuh better add Oman to that group.

Oman beat Ireland and Ireland beat WI 2-1 in an ODI series in the caribbean no too long ago.

This hasn't been stated enough, but WI as usual in deep shite.

Agree. WI playing a set of "fraidy, fraidy" cricket.

Meanwhile - England set Australia 281 to win the 1st Ashes test.

[bluefete]

Allyuh remember the USA that WI catch their rass to beat?

Nepal have them 23/4 after 12 overs!

Karan KC - 6-3-7-4

From Cricinfo:

USA's technical frailties have been exposed in this spell. Three of the four wickets have been pushing at balls well outside off stump that could have been left alone. None of the USA right-handers seem to know where their off stump is. Credit to Karan KC for exposing it though with relentless and probing outswing in his new ball spell.

[bluefete]

Nepal BOWLED OUT the USA for 207 and are 74/1 in 16 overs

Netherlands 315/6 in 50 overs
Zimbabwe 111/1 in 18 0vers

Let WI continue with their "fraidy, fraidy" cricket. Their cut-ass booked from some of these "minnows".

[bluefete]

UNFLICKING BELIEVABLE

Sikkander Raza powers Zimbabwe to a 6 wicket win over Netherlands. What a game from him.

Both teams made over 300 runs.

Edit: And Nepal just beat the USA.

[Dizzy28]

That Ashes test test set up nicely on the final day rain delays notwithstanding
Straya need 132 runs with 50 overs remaining and 5 wickets in hand. Usman there still.
