"Twenty-seven years to beat Australia in Australia. Young, inexperienced, written off. This West Indies team can stand tall today. West Indies cricket can stand tall today."
- Brian Lara (x x x)
Shamar Joseph - a security guard with 4 first-class match experience, got his toe split open yesterday and came and won it for his team. Unbelievable!
Brian Lara and Carl Hooper were in tears. And Adam Gilchrist and Ian Smith were happy for them. So beautiful to see.
WI just beat England in the undergoing Under-19 World Cup 2024. They've now beat Australia in Australia in Tests. And they beat India some time ago in T20I. Not qualifying for World Cup 2023 was a blow but I hope they take these wins as inspiration to take their cricket forward. Phenomenally spirited and inspiring performance today.
Also can we talk about Rohit retiring hurt before the last ball of the first super over like that move was so funny and clever upto an extent that only Rohit Sharma could pull it 🙌
India vs England 5-test series in India is going to be the unstoppable force vs the immovable object.
India don't lose at home and England's been conquering the world with bazball. On the flip side, we have the ability to crap the bed at literally any point in a game while bazball floundered a bit in front of the mighty Australia's experience and resilience (The Ashes 2023). It will be a fun contest.
found out last night about the cricket player Don Bradman, whose batting average of 99.94% is “the greatest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport”, nearly a full 40 points above the second best player. Apparently they had to invent a whole new type of defense to try and deal with this dude.
I have no idea how cricket works but it’s hilarious that the best sportsman who ever lived chose to play British baseball of all things.
Kane Williamson - he is just yk... tiny, fluffy, needs to be protected, just precious. While trent boult has the sassiness to compete, it is completely overshowed when compared to kane
Jos Buttler - baby girl. Sassiness personified. You just need to see him with his hands on his hips behind the stumps once. It proves everything. As for Ben... personally it's just something I can't and dont want to entertain the thought of
Subhman Gill - Gill hasn't got the "intensely aggressive expressions", in words of mine, mastered yet and in which kohli is the master of, among the other indian players... and thus he just seems like a princess amongst them so yeah he wins by quite a margin
Pat Cummins - this ones very close. It's unfair how pretty those kangaroos are, with those pretty smiles. But Patrick wins because of those dreamy eye lashes.
