Indeed. The injury to the Hungarian chap was a bit odd, I watched it back and literally looked a glancing blow at most. At least he appears to now be okay.Quote:

We've either been great or poor this tourney. What do you make of our chances in the semi?Quote:

Also, India can be a bit hit and miss, will watch their match against the Aussies today as not seen much of them this tournament.Quote:

It means India have been able to plan for a daytime semi-final, which suits their bowlers, in Guyana from the start and the others in their half of the draw to scheme in Trinidad, the other last-four venue. Meanwhile, England are still waiting to know whether they will fly to Georgetown on Tuesday or Port-of-Spain. They will not find out their fate until after the completion of group two late on Monday night.
That is a joke. It's like when they tried a T20CL but said that any players contracted to both an IPL team and another of the competitors would have to play for the IPL team. I do wish Indians were into other sports so the whole of world cricket wasn't simply organised to see Indian victories so they can sell adverts for SIM cards in the middle of the coverage.Quote:

Interesting how the players closed ranks to shield him, they showed very few replays and none close up.. then they put a sheet around the stretcher just like they did with Christian Ericksen, one of the first of the vaccine injuries/deaths. THEN they acted like they had no idea what his injury was.Quote:
