Tillu Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Nepal got a strong reality check. Only minnows know how to bring the other high flying minnows down to their level.

Zero_Unit Posted February 12 Posted February 12 We bout to witness first ever Italy win in a cricket WC
Tattieboy Posted February 12 Posted February 12 Just now, Manucrick said: This wc first upset coming up Why is it an upset , have you looked at the backgrounds of most of those "italian" players , Australian state , BBL , South African National team, province experience , English county cricket . The players in Italian team have a lot of experience of high level cricket GoldenSun and rollingstoned 2
nitinbwj Posted February 12 Posted February 12 I knew this would happen. Nepal never really recovered from that. Lokesh Bham played innings of lifetime smacking Archer on world stage. Just couldnt get past Sam Curran. It was their moment just like Afghans against SA. Very difficult to digest
Zero_Unit Posted February 12 Posted February 12 That's going to be a huge nrr boost for Italy. What a commendable win
AKane Posted February 12 Posted February 12 (edited) If Italy can play this well in cricket then why can't India play at least as well as an associate like Italy in soccer? We have issues playing against Maldives in soccer. Edited February 12 by AKane Sgattick10 1

Maybe but regarding Mosca - the two openers - is a very Italian name though. As with the Manenti brothers or a Campopiano. Edited February 12 by AKane
Gollum Posted February 12 Posted February 12 5 minutes ago, AKane said: Maybe but regarding Mosca - the two openers - is a very Italian name though. Wiki says, they are Australians of Italian origin. Born and brought up in Sydney, associated with some New South Wales competition, and Sydney clubs, also Tasmania. Saw profiles of many of their players, some have even played BBL and South African FC.
IndianRenegade Posted February 12 Posted February 12 how did nepal run england so close & lose so horriblly to Italy?
Gollum Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Hope Zimbabwe tests Australia today, from 11 am (IST), Premadasa. Minnows haven't been doing well last few days. Go Taylor, Raza, Muzarabani
Gollum Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Nathan Ellis has been very impressive in this format, I thought he was a random journeyman initially @Nikhil_cric @Lone Wolf

Lone Wolf Posted February 13 Posted February 13 40 minutes ago, Gollum said: Nathan Ellis has been very impressive in this format, I thought he was a random journeyman initially @Nikhil_cric @Lone Wolf Proper T20 specialist. His slower ones are literally best in the buisness. Deceptive pace bowls 145+ on occasions Gollum 1

Gollum Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Aus won the toss, bowling first. Aussies tend to win a lot of tosses in ICC events, don't they? Veteran Brendan Taylor ruled out of the tournament. Not unexpected his fitness issues, he is 40 years old now. Teams: Australia (Playing XI): Travis Head(c), Josh Inglis(w), Cameron Green, Matt Renshaw, Glenn Maxwell, Tim David, Marcus Stoinis, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Matthew Kuhnemann Zimbabwe (Playing XI): Brian Bennett, Tadiwanashe Marumani(w), Dion Myers, Sikandar Raza(c), Ryan Burl, Tony Munyonga, Tashinga Musekiwa, Brad Evans, Wellington Masakadza, Graeme Cremer, Blessing Muzarabani
