In retrospect, maybe less than ideal to have dropped Sciver-Brunt on 3. #CWC25 🏏

Ah. No. This is just for centuries with the bat. Maybe next episode we’ll discuss his prospects for centuries with the ball.

Yeah. Thanks. I thought I remembered reading about that. Didn't actually see it in action though (mostly because I hardly ever see any of the IPL in action).

Dan Liebke @liebcricket.com · 1d

I just saw the ball-tracking to check whether a full toss was above the waist in the World Cup game between South Africa and India. (Did they trial this in the IPL last season?) Anyway, I like it. Anything that gets pre-tournament measuring tape into the sport is okay with me. #CWC25 🏏

Most importantly, that last wicket partnership means I might even be able to sneak off to bed if Australia take a few early wickets. #CWC25 🏏

Beth Mooney, the bane of this Pakistan side. “Ah you think humidity is your ally? You merely adopted the humidity. I was born in it, moulded by it.” #CWC25 🏏

(This, BTW, is approximately nine thousand times more thrilling than the match in which Australia and India scored 800 runs between them.)

Beth Mooney explaining the situation to Garth: Don’t hit it in the fucken air. Don’t let a straight one through. Don’t advance down the pitch and miss it. Fucken simple, Kim. #CWC25 🏏
