Cricket

India v Pakistan has been tense so far. Apparently sold out the G in less than an hour.

That second wicket makes it interesting.

That third wicket makes it even more interesting. Could be tough for India, this.

I had almost written Pakistan off before the game but it should be close. The Aramco sponsorship is horrific though, what a bunch of dickheads the ICC are.

Might not even be close now.

Insert any horrendous polluting multinational and any international sport governing board in here.

This pair could take the game away from Pakistan, though. Big over, that.

Feels like a turning point.

Shame.

Yep. Pakistan need a wicket and fast.

Afridi crumbling under the pressure here.

This is insane.

Bonkers scenes

Feel sorry for Nawaz, but that was a terrible delivery.

This game

heart in mouth

Nawaz fucked it

Incredible ending, but India shouldn't have had a sniff there. Afridi's over let them back in and those two sixes off Rauf in the penultimate over swung the game.

That afridi over and Nawaz's last there was just awful. Pakistan quicks need to learn how to bowl yorkers.
Kohli's back though, just wow.

Not certain how this plays out:

Kohli's back though

diwali x kohli memes are off the chain atm

Zimbabwe are in trouble. 19-4.

Shocking run out

It's over as a contest already. I've switched off (also partly due to my hooky stream being a bit temperamental).

True. Got sky box in my office so it's on as background sound. Not much point watching it for sure.

Also, seems like there are only 15 people there. I guess it's 10pm and a long rain delay but the whole thing seems inconsequential.

Decent score here, if there's a team who could fuck up chasing this it's good ol' South Africa...
