Other than football, I'm only into Rugby League, and cricket is a sport as bad as any could be.

However, what annoyed me about that coverage was the constant pish about 'the nation': which nation?

An Aussie coach, Irish captain, star batsman a thug from opponent nation NZ, plus a pile of players from abroad......... like I say, which nation?

Ach away wie ye .

Baseball is the one thing I can think of that the Americans have taken and improved upon (it basically being cricket).

But yes, it's 'England and Wales': so which nation is it?

See, it's not 'the realm': surely it was the old 'Empire'?

But i do know the last time Scotland played England at Cricket...Scotland won!!!

So can we take from that, that Scotland are the Unofficial Cricket World Champions ? 👀🖒

To be brutally honest, I wouldn't give two fucks if we were. But I don't think you've got that right, as that would be the reverse of 66/67.



I'm happy if folk got enjoyment out of that glorified game of public school rounders.

It's the aftermath which is deluded.

I will say we rode our luck.  Thats to be expected, almost required for any team in these tournament formats I suppose.

Cricket?  Utter pish.

Hilarious how desperate England are to be the best at something that they are all jumping on this particular bandwagon now.

Most of them probably never been to, or even watched a game of cricket in their lives.

Wumins WC netball is much more entertaining.

If found cricket very shite to watch when I saw some of it.
