    Way too young. Sadly it had been expected as he’d been unwell for quite a time.

    When Zimbabwe were becoming a force in cricket and looked to becoming a solid competitive side. The Flower brothers, that leg spinner they had Ray Price, Andy Blignaut and Murray Goodwin at the top of the order. Hard and competitive. And then that brute Mugabe and his companions started interfering and ruined Zimbabwean cricket and rugby leading to a mass exodus of players and dismantling of the systems that the Sables and Chevrons. Streak was a real competitor and more than a decent medium pacer. A bit unfortunate what happened later.

    Middlesex miss out on survival by two wickets.

    Commiserations to the ‘sexers on the forum.

    Microcosm of the season.
    Regularly bowled out for 150 or so.
    Flimsy.

    Surely his number is 666 ? The world simply cannot hold it's breath for the cricket World Cup played by the usual Commonwealth suspects barring the might of Holland. MCC = RFU for all they did for the development of the global game. Namely sod all. Anglocolonialism has been removed thanks to the BCCI who have replaced it with Indocentrism but WR remains a bastion of old boy privilege.

    I hear the Duckworth Lewis for each side was very close, and that’s what really counts.

    South Africa with the biggest score in World Cup history.

    Markham with the quickest ever 100 in the tournament too.

    ICC will probably hope for some more competitive games as the tournament goes on .

    Aussies been on the end of a couple of rough "VAR" decisions in the cricket.

    That is a shame isn't it..?

    Still gives them an excuse I guess.

    Is anyone actually watching this. TV figures must be through the roof given that it's not live on terrestrial television. Are you listening Alan Gilpin.

    Not helped by the fact every game is very one sided. NZ vs Bangladesh is going the same way
