Maybe we make the CT just the top 6 ?
It would go against the need to grow the game but would make an exciting tournament. Ind/Eng/Aus/host automatic qualification.

I think they've got the format right. The tournament would be a bit more vibrant if it was held in England.

A great catch from Bracewell to get rid of Shanto, we are into the Bangladesh tail now so we could keep this total to around 200.

True all the asian teams would have good crowds.

If they were going to hold the tournament at this time of year and India were hellbent on not playing in Pakistan, I would have moved to the tournament to Australia or South Africa with Pakistan being well compensated for the competition being moved and them receiving the revenue raised from the tournament in its new location. Harsh on Pakistan most definitely but it avoids the situation where India get the unfair advantages that they're enjoying in this tournament.

Good to have Ian Smith back in the box. Reckon he's one of the more astute callers

250+ now

250+ now

Yeah a good partnership here between Jaker and Rishad, it is looking more like a score around 250 now.

I like all the Kiwi commentators at this tournament.

 

[Plugger35]

Henry getting rid of Rashid but Jaker is the dangerman here, he could still get the Bangers to 250.

 

[Bedi]

Just over half full crowd tonight, so wonder what the turn out will be for tmrw without any Bangladeshi expats

Has had a great/stunning start to his career

Stfu Hayden

He is such an insufferable blowhard giving advice to both teams like he was one of the greatest cricketers of all time.

 

[Bedi]

Hayden is the Brett Kirk of cricket commentators.
"We’re gonna engage with our minds and our hearts. We’re gonna exchange ideas, thoughts and even our energy. And to speak from your heart you need to have courage. You need to be honest and authentic."

Stfu Hayden

He basically said a minute or so ago that you have to play like champions to win the Champions Trophy. Profound.

 

[Bedi]

Taskin cannot bat
Edit: finally scored

 

[Bedi]

How the hell was that not a wide

 

[Del125763]

O'Rourkes penultimate ball of his spell looked like a wide to me.

 

[Bedi]

Very subtle, if any, changes to Jamieson's action from that footage

 

[Bedi]

Super Nintendo cricket shot by Taskin but he somehow survives

 

[Moonwatcher]

I feel that

 

[Bedi]

Taskin is a hack so worth a shot but failed unfortunately. DAMN! Love Jaker

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Very subtle, if any, changes to Jamieson's action from that footage

It’s just the jump really isn’t it. Guess that was the motion that was putting the pressure on his back

 

[Plugger35]

Jaker run out trying to get back on strike, that probably ends Bangladesh's hopes of getting to 250.
