[andruid]

Nope

 

[cnerd123]

Nope

Lol the graphic makes it look like this will be a tennis ball tournament played in whites.

I blame the people they are working with on the project. After all it is the same one where the commentators are asking live on air whether what they just saw was an lwb

If someone got paid to make that graphic then they ripped the organisers off. I could make a better poster in 15 minutes on canva.com

In other news today CHK broadcasted a cricket match between two ethnic-Chinese teams with Cantonese commentary:

Anyone know anything about these Tadiwanashe Marumani Diyon miyers lads playing for Zimbabwe-A? Both under 20 and have made better then run a ball 80-90's against an SA attack that is borderline international standard.

Anyone know anything about these Tadiwanashe Marumani Diyon miyers lads playing for Zimbabwe-A? Both under 20 and have made better then run a ball 80-90's against an SA attack that is borderline international standard.

I didn't watch the game but it does seem like it was a very flat pitch.

Myers was Zimbabwe's captain at the U19 World Cup last year - very highly rated by the administration and strikes the ball well but did sod all in that tournament other than some pretty starts a quick 40 against Scotland (which I'm being generous in separating from "pretty starts"). Marumani opened the batting in that tournament and ended up Zimbabwe's highest run scorer but both his fifties were also against Scotland. Likes to carve through the off but doesn't move his feet much.

I'm not really convinced any of that crop of Under 19s will approach international standard other than Madhevere tbh. Good to see those two take a small step towards proving me wrong though.

Netherlands in a Little bit of trouble vs Ireland today. Heh

 

[Niall]

Standard enough Irish loss that,bowl first get the opposition in all sorts of trouble but allow the tail to get them to some sort of decent score , then chase and rely to much on Stirling and lose.

Ireland desperately need more batting than Stirling and Balbirnie, the rest are absolute village.

Porterfield. in 2021. FFS just recall Jeremy Bray. ?️‍

Uganda pull out of Kwibuka tournament. Covid positive players

 

[Magrat Garlick]

looking like Ireland will cruise the 2nd odi. Good, maybe that'll teach them to not drop Kingma for an army of kiwis

 

[Magrat Garlick]

third ODI tomorrow should be free of COVID spectator restrictions, might have to phone the club and ask though
