I was reading the reviews of it and seems very similar to Cricket 24 - lots of licenses and all, but it falls short of the actual gaming component (i.e.,gameplay,)

Isn't it that every 2 years, they drop a new game? My theory is they will aim to launch Cricket 26 for the Ashes 26 (Nov 25), release a glitchy game, and finally do some patches and create a half-decent product once the Ashes are officially over Feb-26 ish. Annoying, DB14 was so exceptional...

What the hell has been wrong with Kohli recently? His aggression is becoming a little stupid and childish now. There is being positive and getting into the head of the opposition - but shoulder-barging a 18 yr old for no reason is just not the right way to play the game.

Secretly I believe Rohit Sharma missing the first game is a blessing in disguise for India. He was never amazing against the moving ball and slow to get those feet moving. Will be an interesting series - pity it starts at 3 am here.

My belief behind his selection was that he is the highest wicket-taking spinner in the recently concluded Champions Cup. Arguably shows you the lack of spinner skills and how their stocks have fallen over the last few years in Pakistan. Shadab is no longer the spinner he once was (I believe the...

All for this pitch - you're supposed to have a home advantage when you play at home. Still, seems like a few bizarre decisions from Pakistan - Zahid Mahmood seems very far off being a test match spinner - it seems weird that they would select him (unless you just want a leggie). Secondly, you...

If only Hazlewood hadn't exposed their strategy in that press conference.

That post is the equivalent of me saying - that Pakistan can still make the Semi-finals if the ICC introduce a wild card entry.

Don't worry - they won't learn from it. They'll make sure to play everyone out of positions to ensure they play in their ideal roles to get those below par 50's.

When T20 became a thing, I remember people were angry that it's a slog-fest and this isn't cricket. The more I see these leagues consistently breach 220+ scores, the more the game quality is declining fast. Miss the old days of 150 being a competitive total.

What’s the point of a DJ and light show in the middle of the game? That too in a T20. Much rather hear the analysis and discussion. Seems like the start of the Olympics

It's heartbreaking - but what a great game of cricket. Back to the classics of the 200-run ODI games compared to the usual run fest. It was a strong tournament from Pakistan as well - some inspiring talents.

Sindh Premier League Shahid Afridi is still playing and hit a 50(32), arguably better than he did during his playing days. Though the quality of the cricket seems worrying - one of the spinners seems like he is chucking.

To be honest, with the calendar and the amount of T20 leagues going on at the moment, half of them are mediocre. The ILT20 is a retirement league with a few stars, the BPL has the worst pitches I have ever seen (akin to them playing Test matches). There are talks of a Saudi League which dilutes...
