    Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

    Don't think Pakistan have put enough on the board to put England under serious pressure but who knows? There is clearly some turn and if Shadab can pick a couple of wickets it could put the middle-order under huge pressure. Obviously Pakistan have to break this partnership quickly to have a chance.

    Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

    Wicket maiden in a TT world cup final. Doesn't get better than that. Could be a turning point in the game. Pakistan is probably not going to score a lot but there is a fair bit in the wicket for both quicks and spinners. Could be a great game; Afridi's opening spell will be crucial.

    Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

    What an insane finish! My hands are still shaking; I haven't felt this kind of excitement from a cricket game in years. About 10 overs back my thoughts were that a peak Kohli might have won this game but the Pakistan quicks were going to be too good. And then Kohli showed he still has some of...

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Imran. His captaincy adds more value than Kallis's fielding and I also think that bowling all-rounders are a bit more valuable than batting all-rounders.

    *Official* Australia in India (T20)

    Nice finish! Other than that one glorious six Kohli was struggling with his big shots ; sadly he is past his peak. Hardik delivered as expected though. The outside off tactic was interesting though it didn't quite work in the end ; I think you really need a man on the third man boundary.

    Asia cup 2022

    Peak-Dhoni finish by Hardik. The most exciting India-Pakistan game in many years.

    Asia cup 2022

    Wow. Has there been an Indian batsman since Dhoni with that kind of power?

    Asia cup 2022

    What a dramatic over with the game in balance. Think that six has put India clearly ahead with a final over by Nawaz still left.

    Ravindra Jadeja vs Vinoo Mankad vs Ashwin

    No surprises that I am going with the guy in my avatar. To add some context it's important to note that Mankad lost a big part of his career to WW2 and he played in a very weak team where he often had to bear a huge burden with both bat and ball, the famous Lords test being only the most...

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    I haven't seen much of SKY but he may be the finest hitter in the game right now. His footwork and shotmaking was worthy of ABdV at his best. Pity he got so little support from the other end.

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Finally Bumrah and Shami at both ends. The problem is that both batsmen are well-set and India has fewer runs to play with. If the two had been used alternately at one end over the last hour the chances of picking up that crucial wicket would have been better.

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Since Shami's last over, there have been 10 overs and 60 runs scored. An absurd passage of play where India has let the game drift and put England back on top.

    Does India really have no fast bowling options better than this? Umesh? Ishant?

    Basically India cannot afford too many overs without Bumrah and Shami at one end. No one else looks likely to take a wicket.

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Still think India has the edge but the track record of this England middle order will make them nervous. Have a feeling the second new ball will be crucial but India needs to get another 2-3 wickets by then. Bumrah and Shami are looking dangerous and perhaps Jadeja will too on day 5.

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    The second review was reasonable but the first was horrendous and a complete waste. Now just one review and one can't help remembering a successful England 350+ chase where the lack of reviews proved fatal...

    Incidentally I bought a 4k 50 inch TV recently and this is the first significant cricket I have watched on it and it was glorious with the blue sky and green grass. We are lucky to be cricket fans in this era...

    So nice to see Pujara doing well on his comeback. Such a typical gritty innings too holding the top order together against some testing England bowling and putting India in a dominant position.
