Did i hear someone on TMS saying that the Pakistan team had a Welshman batting at 7? It was pretty much a home fixture for them.

Encouraging recovery here from Bangladesh, that batting lineup for India is terrifying for anyone trying to protect a score though.

Come on you Tigers!

Yeah, bloke was born in Cardiff whilst his Dad was working in Wales as an engineer on a short-term contract.

He’s about as Welsh as Derek Pringle is Kenyan.

Or Ted Dexter is Italian.

Or Dermot Reeve is Chinese.

Any others?

Oh wow, just read that Dermot Reeve did actually play for Hong Kong.

you’re making this guy sound pretty welsh as it happens.

I know. And people complain about England stealing all their players.

I guess you have Nasser Hussain (India) and Strauss (South Africa) until the age of 6. Guess that’s too much for the purposes of this.

Guess guess guess

Bit annoying that Bumrah’s a legitimately very good cricketer innit.

Love me some Bumrah!

Guys, have we seen the trailers for the Sachin Tendulkar documovie?

'Sachin A Billion Dreams’

hot off the heels of the bollywood movie of MS Dhoni’s life

wait this ones got english subs

Dhoni’s story is actually quite interesting (no idea about the film), but Sachin’s is just like ‘it’s really hard being amazing at cricket in a cricket obsessed country when you just want to be quiet and private. Also I played really well at cricket’

So, sunday is gonna be pretty bitchin in terms of atmosphere eh?

It would have been pretty great no matter what with those 4 teams, but ooooooooh yeah

If you don’t have any connections to either team, who on earth would want India to win over Pakistan? Unless you take the US route of wanting the best team to win because they deserve it the most (pfff)
