But he arrived at the crease in good time, was adjusting his helmet and the strap broke. Hindsight says face one ball then call a new helmet. Getting the helmet off the park to face the ball helmetless would have taken time. My guess the clock will be in for every Bangladeshi wicket later.... But really...? Spirit of the game and all that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 When 34-year-old Kohli reached his landmark century, he dropped to his knees and bowed down to the executive boxes where Tendulkar, his childhood hero, was sitting.

Zeb Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Australia win their sixth World Cup Australia have capped a remarkable resurgence in the World Cup to lift their sixth trophy. Chasing 241 for victory against host-nation India, Australia achieved victory for the loss of only six wickets. On a day Australian great Ricky Ponting said Pat Cummins came of age as a captain, Cummins won the toss and boldly decided to bowl first at Narendra Modi Stadium, citing the potential for night dew as one reason for the call. Credit AP Cummins rotated his bowlers superbly, India unable to build momentum, as the white ball began to reverse swing. In reply, the Australians slipped to 3-47 in seven overs, but a stunning century from Travis Head (137 off 120, 15 boundaries, four sixes) and a defiant 58 from Marnus Labuschagne gave Australia another world title. Head finally fell with only two runs needed for victory, caught in the deep. Defeats early in the tournament had left many doubting whether the Australians would even make the finals, but Head’s half-century in the tight semi-final win over South Africa, and his heroics on this day, will live long in the memory. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/cricket-world-cup-final-live-updates-australia-take-on-india-in-decider-20231118-p5el0o.html 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
