Cricket... the game, not the insect

Yeah, Indians failed miserably. We expect changes (Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli). We have to build the team again.
BTW, we are still at top for One-dayers and T20's.

T20 is for cricket supporters who are easily amused.
It is the fast food equivalent of a gourmet meal.

It is the leprosy of cricket

That's not entirely fair.

These days, it's called "Hansen's Disease".

Congrats to Australia for reclaiming the Border-Gavasker trophy by defeating India 3-1 in the 5 test series.

Australia (mens) now hold all trophies except for the World Test Championship.

Actually the men's cricket team are the current (from 2024) World Test Championship holders, and with the result of this match qualified to defend their title in 2025 (probably against South Africa).

Someone should, just quietly, let them know that Test Cricket isn't about winning.

Yes, winning is not the whole of test cricket, but sure, a part.

Alright India v England in cricket.
Wait... it is just T20s and ODIs?! Never mind.

Maybe I'll try to catch some ODI action.

Found this table at the localish pinball museum. A short but wide body pinball table. Oddly enough the game action didn't seem cricketish.

My post above (#284) of 5 January predicted that Australia would play against South Africa in the 2025 Cricket World Test Championship, and so it has come to be. The result is finely balanced with either team in a position to win.

What is frightening is that I rememeber that one well. Was in the local wog shop (what we called pinnie parlours in the late 70s.)

Congratulations to South Africa for winning the WTC match.

Well, at least one side remembered to bat an Innings. And it'd been over sooner if the Aussies didn't pull an India and have the Bowlers/catcher nudge the score up a good amount.
