Uganda in a spot of bother at 23/6 after 7 overs

In the Windies, that behaviour is particularly special.Mahoney wrote: Tue Jun 04, 2024 6:57 pm I gather the WI rainy season starts in June.
Is there a mandatory lobotomy on appointment to any position in a sporting government body?
Never mind the pitch, the drop-in net pitches are so dangerous in NY that the Proteas refused to let their quicks bowl at their own team mates at practice!Biffer wrote: Sat Jun 08, 2024 10:53 amHave you seen any games on it? It’s kicking up viciously off a good length then coming through low next ball.OomStruisbaai wrote: Sat Jun 08, 2024 10:26 am Saw a lot of bitching about the NY pitch. I don't agree, cricket laws should be always to have a good contest between bat and ball.
Good contest between bay and ball, yes, but that pitch is borderline dangerous.
And India pull off the win, so your bet was well placed.Insane_Homer wrote: Sun Jun 09, 2024 8:01 pm Cricinfo win predictor had Pakistan at 98% chance of winning about half way through that chase. Perfect time to place that bet...
It's quite a statement.Paddington Bear wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 12:34 pm Somewhat different Scottish cricket news - John Blain has produced a very punchy statement today.
From what I know of the man and from what I have heard from others who know him better, the allegations against him always stank. The treatment of him has been appalling. Vaughan (undoubted prick admittedly) had the funds to defeat his show trial, not all have had that luxury.
So much of this that’s upended the game is unravelling, people need to be less credulous
Fair to say the only thing that might stop him going after Cricket Scotland, the ECB and Haq et al personally is his financial circumstances.Slick wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 2:37 pmIt's quite a statement.Paddington Bear wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 12:34 pm Somewhat different Scottish cricket news - John Blain has produced a very punchy statement today.

Good recovery from Klaasen and Miller and then undone with a very poor last 3 overs. Just 13 from them.OomStruisbaai wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 2:53 pm Bangladesh running through our top order. Cant blame the pitch, no one get that front foot to length balls.
They still have a game against mighty Nepal.
Oom Enz it was Bangles.
Really passionate crowd today, they were awesome.OomStruisbaai wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 6:17 pm Never knew there are so many Bangladesh people in New York. Was a great victory under pressure.
The Bangles batsman face after that catch was nearly the same one I had when Donald ran out Zulu against the Aussies.Insane_Homer wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 5:55 pm Full toss, whacked, Out. Caught by the boundary rider

Donald ran himself out. Dropped his bat , hesitated, stumbled, hesitated and then stumbled down the pitch some more. In interviews since he’s admitted there was an easy run there and should have made it at a canter.OomStruisbaai wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 6:48 pmThe Bangles batsman face after that catch was nearly the same one I had when Donald ran out Zulu against the Aussies.Insane_Homer wrote: Mon Jun 10, 2024 5:55 pm Full toss, whacked, Out.

Must say Baartman came from nowhere. His last over was outstanding.
Would be epic if it actually happened.
Let's see if the ICC can make that one stick if it happens.
Absolutely. We've always either done something underhand, or someone else (usually England) underperformed, or bad ref decisions, or the weather, or.....clydecloggie wrote: Wed Jun 12, 2024 12:02 pmWould be epic if it actually happened.
And it would also reinforce the golden rule of sports journalism: no Scotland team, in any sport, achieves anything on their own merit. Australia gaming the system with Scotland qualifying would be the perfect excuse to keep that trope alive.
