Can't wait till the Asian games with the 28, 36 and 39th ranked teams playing , I wonder if they can actually hold a bat ! So your defence is the rest of them are ****

As I said stat padding

Pakistan are minnows too , A joke that India are sending their full strength squad , the usual no forward thinking and with a 6 game series against the Zimbabwe women in October who should not have been anyplace near full membership it's just stat padding for the likes of Mandhana, Kaur and others

So was mine with a lot of truth thrown in

Please please Australia be fixers because our two little Princesses Mandhana and Rodregues who we throw crores and cores at can't play T20 .....Sounds like a solution

What ! You aren't getting all excited with about 2.5 hours to go to watch the semi final on prime time Indian TV lol

She isn't playing so can't be their main spinner

Is King an impact sub nobody knows about

Not sure what you mean by wow , she has already played for oval invincibles for two years opening the bowling with Kapp

A huge lack of Indian supporters in the stadium today , I think there were more Dutch supporters .

As a foreigner I will give you my two rupees worth at stadiums I have been to in India Chepauk : This was ten years ago and my first visit to India , within the little complex it sits in various sport facilities like swimming , squash ( watched the Indian no 1 at the time training , she played man after man it was impressive) etc are there on site , the stadium felt good not just a concrete bowl with the added private Madras Cricket Club within the stadium where I stayed with it's seating verdandas it broke it up to look like stadium. Vadodara: a mini Modi stadium ( 50, 000) just a concrete bowl with no character , 24kms outside Vadodara reached on the most horrendous road where you go 3kms past it and turn back on a dirt track , cars, motorcycles and scooties all parked in muddy fields DYPatel : old stadium but I did enjoy the walk through the campus with no traffic and I did two interviews for DYPatel stadium and some you tuber much to my Ranji Trophy Indian mate jealousy Eden Gardens : this is worst , needs completely modernised, everything felt and looked bad about it but had more catering available than any other . The biggest plus about it for me was the locals were the most friendliest I must have had about 200 selfies taken , children and men just wanted their photo with me taken . Ahmedabad: Yes it's big but I find it a concrete souless place , seats are crushed together , every ground I have been to 2 security checks and you are at your seat , at Ahmedabad it is 7 checks and the " stewards " think they are the gastapo. It's handily situated at edge of city , metro stops outside but I found it to be a concrete dust bowl . To the rest of you Indians people of Ahmedabad think they are the centre of the cricketing world now. Rajkot " my favourite, yes it's small by Indian standards but it felt like a proper stadium not a concrete bowl , outside it's bright and airy with space , this stadium I got the whole guided tour everywhere as my best Indian friend is Saurashtra hall of famer , 12kms outside Rajkot but the road was great . Ahmedabad as a city is not geared up for a huge influx of visitors , apart from a handful of hotels 90% of them are on the ring road well away from the centre , all those 3/4* hotels are geared up for mainly business people with very little facilities like a swimming pool , space outside etc . Ahmedabadiens are boasting that a proper 5* hotel is going to be built for the commonwealth games ...wow

I will let you into a secret , the first word every Scot is taught to say is ABE .....Anybody But England

If you add up all the weeks I have been in India in the last 10 years it comes to over 2 years but not yet been brave enough to walk around Ahmedabad in a Scottish kilt but I have coached Cricket Ahmedabad U19 and U16 in an Indian top

I am having an amazing time and soooooo glad England reached semi final to see this

Who said they were under any obligation to offer them a contract ? The whole point is Irish people do not need a work permit to work in the UK . There are Northern Irish players in the Irish team and they live in the UK have British passports but are treated as overseas players that is against the Law . Eoin Morgan had dual citizenship because of his mother being English , had resided in England since age 15 . Quite a few Irish players played in the English counties but when Ireland became a " full member " they became " overseas " players and lost like every Irish person the automatic right to work in the UK as the same as any British person and became the same as Indians , Pakistanis etc . Every Scottish, English , Welsh, Northern Irish AND Irish person has exactly the same working rights in every workplace in the UK and vice versa in Ireland except in cricket. As I said Cricket rules don't override the Laws of the country
