In terms of t20 planning for batting, @OfficialSLC approaches it for a perspective of what if Pathum and Kusal fail instead of how do we maximize their potential success. That’s why we have so many collapses after good starts. 1/

looks a serious talent - never seen anything quite like the crouch at the top of his mark...
England need to stop messing around with their spinners and just get Farhan Ahmed into the test side immediately.... #U19Cricket #U19CWC #U19WorldCup

Picking Will Jacks at number 8 is such a defensive pick. Four specialist bowlers would give England a much better chance of taking 20 wickets. Would have liked to see Matthew Potts play as the fourth seamer.

30 Ashes wickets at 22.33 for Jofra Archer. You have to go back to SF Barnes before WW1 to find an England seamer with more Ashes wickets at a lower average.

“Shane Watson and Steve Smith were playing. And Zak Crawley was the best player on the ground." A piece on this England team's relationship with Grade cricket. Some positive experiences, and some less so... https://t.co/NShBrA2nEA
nytimes.com
Australian grade cricket has been called 'the best finishing school anyone could want' - and several current England players would agree

Tired: Pathum nissanka is improving Wired: @MarkMachado telling us three years ago that Pathum would become a white ball beast when his t20 sr was 110

V Viyaskanth becomes the first born-and-raised cricketer from Jaffna to play a major international for Sri Lanka today. Jaffna cricket has a rich history of more than 120 years. Huge congratulations to everyone who kept cricket alive there through some harrowing times.

BIG UP Malinga for this. 'Same shit, different era' stuff from SLC...
Lasith Malinga to Charith Asalanka: “You spoke up for every player under you — and today you’re carrying the consequences alone. If you stayed silent back then, they’d still call you a weak leader and drag you the same way. Respect for having the courage to speak the truth. 🫡

Shame on SLC if this is true…
Charith Asalanka has been one of Sri Lanka’s best finds, always carrying himself with grace and never tarnishing the game. But his ill-advised attempt to scrap Pakistan tour has cost him dearly. He’ll lose the captaincy for World Cup Timely reminder nobody is bigger than the game
