Feel a bit sorry for Bangladesh. Theyve been making drastic improvements yet the icc (indian cricket council, its not international otherwise india would have had to fall in line ages ago) still decide to keep them under the boot.
Dont get me started on Zimbabwe...

South Africa playing the Aussies today. Second match in a three match series. SA won the first one.

4 weeks of people being caught on the leg boundary following cow shots how depressing
RE: ICC World Twenty20 2016 in India - Lord Snooty - 06-03-2016
Aye. I started watching that SA v Aus match today but got bored with it.
RE: ICC World Twenty20 2016 in India - jjamez - 07-03-2016
The sa aus match went down to the last ball. Thats the good thing about t20 they do give a lot of entertainment
RE: ICC World Twenty20 2016 in India - themaclad - 07-03-2016
Not real cricket JJ
RE: ICC World Twenty20 2016 in India - jjamez - 07-03-2016
It's the only form of cricket that seems to keep the attention of those with a short span, plus it makes money and is ideal for younger families. The only form of cricket that has to be worried is one day.
RE: ICC World Twenty20 2016 in India - themaclad - 08-03-2016
Hence they have cut the County Championship down to four days. This tournament is being played in India for the simple reason the big three Australia, India and England now dominant the hierarchy of International cricket, all major tournaments are now to be played in the big three countries down to money not cricketing reasons.
