That was a good oneInitially I thought he was telling the umpire to review it in order to change his original decision of out.. Can't believe in this day and age he asked for a review of that catch! It fell to the ground so clearly..
Shane Watson has nothing on this guy.
MI game finished past 12AM. Presumbly had to take back to back flights to Colombo and then Kandy. Domedtic match started 9.30 AM (same time zone). Got figures of 7/49 and bowled 9 overs in a row!! Legend.
SLC are just utter cnuts though.. tired of these morons running cricket in the country. Feel sorry for Malinga

He could have just skipped the ipl match.
SLC should have seen the bigger picture and told Malinga to play the full IPL and forget the domestic tournament. He's still by far the best bowler in the country and he'll be playing with much higher pressure/competition in the IPL than this domestic competition - much better WC prep.
Instead, the board effectively forced him to play this tournament and indirectly threaten to take the Captaincy away from him if he doesn't.
Ahh I thought he was playing for Sri Lanka not in a domestic tournament. Yeah that's a counts move
Joe Clarke must be close to an England call up now, about to get his 2nd 100 of the match, had a good season last season, and started this in top form
Hameed's tonned up to go with a double ton in an MCCU game. Gwan lad, nail down a spot.
Reckon he may well have fecked any chance he had by his off field antics.

Lovely to see Hameed back in the runs. With the World Cup he'll get a nice long run of championship matches under his belt before the tests. England need to get back to a conventional top order and ditch this 'total cricket' stuff. Proper batsmen from 1-5, Stokes @ 6, Bairstow @ 7, bowlers from thereon.
Couple of guys scoring big runs in key positions that might get them in England contention. Hameed, Crawley, Sibley, Ballance, Northeast and Clarke. Hopefully it continues.
I think you and I might have different opinions on what good writing looks like.
If I cared, it would be tiring to read the number of times you disagree with others and have an uncontrollable urge to call it out.
Ok hun xox
Good article from Jarrod Kimber

So apparently Henry Olonga is now a contestant on Aussie singing show.
Indians would never forget him due to his performance against us in 1999WC.
That's not a cut noobs.
Hard to think of the last time Moeen produced for England in white-ball cricket.
Anyone know anything about this?
A guy at work used to play league cricket in Bangladesh, not sure entirely of the format, but he says he was a 3rd division player, so clearly no mug on a cricket pitch.
He came to the UK, originally, on a student visa and says he was not allowed to play cricket for his University, in local leagues or village cricket etc. Can anyone explain this for me, because it seems totally ridiculous to me.

This is the problem with England. They give away big totals too often. Sooner or later you're going to come up against a good bowling side that won't let you claw the score back.
Woakes looks a bit one-dimensional and Rashid is a worry. Apparently he's got a shoulder problem and he hasn't bowled well for a while. We should think about bringing Curran in for the next game.

You aren't allowed to participate in sporting or musical bands on a student visa. Although it doesn't apply to unofficial leagues.
It may be because he played at too high a level back home, there are rules about clubs playing overseas players unless they are deemed to be amateurs I think.
That's a bit rubbish, and really unfair.
Well they wouldn't really know how good he was unless they saw him play.
If he’s played in a league back home they’ll know he will have to be of a certain standard though. The fines for teams for fielding ineligible players is fairly high.
UK visa laws are extremely shit and unfair to students.

Zimbabwe cricket suspended with immediate effect. Pretty Sad.

What did they do specifically, do you know?
That has basically ended Fakhar Zaman's career.
Don't know much but from what I read it seems there has been government interference in their election process. Most likely to do with some kind of corrupt people occupying the seats.
Just saw this. Is this even allowed. He keeps on doing strange things.
Amir has announced his retirement from Test cricket.
Disappointed by this, he should be at his peak right now, not retiring from Tests! Not even like we play a lot of them that he has to manage his fitness.

Hes on 27 as well. Been around for almost 10 years.
Weird decision. Wasn't his ODI spot in doubt before this world cup?
Yep. He didn’t play any of the games in the series against England before the WC, and wasn’t in the original WC squad. Which was strange itself, since his record in England is fantastic.
Lasith Malinga retires from ODI cricket. Great servant to the Lankan side.
