Or mismatch as current round seem to be.
Suppose sky aren't in charge of coverage. But South Africa Bangladesh on telly and not England.
Shame as the England Fiji game looks to be a rematch of that game were that Indian kid scored a 1000 runs.
England 374 for 3 of there 50. Lawrence with 175.
Fiji 9 for 3 in the reply. Sam curtain tearing through them.

Opening win of over 300 on the cards here it would seem, not a bad way to start a competition!! Lawrence seems to be a very strong young batman

Did you not enjoy the Indian "pant" innings against Nepal.....

I saw the last England match Chris, I quite enjoyed it, thought the lads did well although the opposition wasn't up to much.
Liked the look of the leggie, Hampshire lad I believe, Mason Crane, he's played some first class and list a with decent figures, I was also interested to hear about a rapid quick in the squad that the commentators were raving about, I think they said his name was Gardener but could be wrong.

Fantastic!! The Windies Off-Spinner is called 'Goolie' !!
-
That's absolutely awful. The Windies should be ashamed of themselves.

Terrible! Utter shame for Zimbabwe, cant believe that Madhevere is only 15 too!

Just watched the video, that's pathetic - WI team should be embarrassed

The worst thing about it for me was the West Indian's captains comments after the match >:(. He just put it down to the fact "its happened before" and therefore its fine to win this game by the same way. I fear my favourite sport is going the way of football... where winning is all that matters... even if it means you have to cheat..
Granted the WI where unlucky with a big edge on a caught behind that wasnt given but for me the action from the bowler was deliberate. He never intended to bowl that delivery, just try and run the non striker out.
Just sad to see and every credit to Paul Allott when he interviewed the captains...
-
I'd say it goes along the lines of the lombardi approach to sports where its do whatever it takes to win... Zimbabwe should have won in that final over plain and simple really, desperation does some strange things to people at times. The west indies should be ashamed, shocking cricket.

The opening for Zim was sawn off on 50 odd with a poor lbw decision. Umpires didn't cover themselves in glory.
I would dispute the bowler was bowling a legitimate delivery - they was no way he could get into a delivery stride and bowl a legitimate delivery when he did the mankad. Had the third umpire had the brains to check a previous delivery from another over he could of ruled the bowler was going to make no attempt to bowl and therefore the ball was dead.

Tim Robinson was the 3rd umpire. I too was disappointed he didnt call not out and start the over again... (dead ball?)
Also robbed the crowd of a tight finish to what was an exciting game that ebbed and flowed.

. where winning is all that matters... even if it means you have to cheat..
I'd say we've all read enough on here to realise winning is all people care about, most consider it the only way to describe if they've had a good weekend/match!! 'Yeah we thrashed them, great game'
As for cheating, where do you draw the line??
Sledging?
Bowlers appealing for lbws when they know it's not out
Fielders shying at the stumps when ey know ey won't affect a run out
Send offs
Fielders appealing when they have no idea if it's out
All is cheating really but people try and justify it as 'part of the game'..
-
Really disappointed in the manner of the west indies victory,The umpires had a shocker of a game and their poor decisions probably influenced the West Indies actions. Cricket is the biggest looser I think.

All 22 players are to blame, if all 22 played to the spirit and laws of the game the umpires would do wry very little as people would be giving themselves out nearly every time as you know when you've nicked it, or are plumb or are run out

Are you high?
How was the bloke stood at fine leg to blame? Saying it is all 22 of the players fault is the best thing I've heard all day mate!
As for walking for LBWs or run outs, that would be brilliant. I assume you are halfway to the pavilion before the bowler has time to appeal every time you get struck on the pad?

I walked twice last year for lbw actually, in a league game because I knew I was out. Umpire was amazed but I knew it was out. If I nick it, I'm off before the umpire has a chance to say yes or no, again.. BecUse I know I'm out so why stand and wait.
He Might not have been to blame in that incident but if he stole inches when batting, appealed when he can't see, sledged etc then he has been culpable during the game

Just seen the bbc post this, bowling with both arms, ridiculous!

West Indies about to win the World Cup. So the mankading worked then

It was a legit dismissal, laws say so. Batters shouldn't be looking to steal yards. Get over it
If wi win then they deserve too and tbf, at least it offers some hope they might improve over the next ten years (not that u19 stuff means anything)
-
Anybody else get annoyed when watching the games at the aggression of appeals and celebrations throughout the tournament?

I have wanted to walk for an lbw before, but not known if it was the right thing to do. Fortunately, in the two seconds I was considering it, the umpire gave me out.

For some reason people regard aggression/sledging and appealing as being competitive so that's probably what these kids are told all the way through

I think not are probably not so much 'told', as learning from example?

It was an excellent tournament with an even battle between bat and ball. Great to see the West Indies win with great intelligence and temperament . Don't blush you all know it is true

Apparently one of the Canadians is our overseas this year interested to see how good he will be

I remember two years ago we had one of the New Zealanders and he got 5 away from the highest individual score in our home grounds history once
