You're our resident pest / Sri Lankan expert, what's the score? I saw their board was sacked - why?

Sri lanka has folded and is being relocato Tasmania

Too much government interference is the reasoning. Which is fair enough and should have been done a long time ago

 

[Ochre]

Sri Lanka has just been suspended by the ICC due to government interference. They’re genuinely finding new ways to hit lows

Good by the ICC

In unrelated news, weren't Afghanistan good again last night.

Makes me wonder just how egregious Sri Lanka’s actions were that they were deemed worse than preventing half your population from playing cricket

Always pissed me off that we were the bad guys for saying we won't play a test match against a nation ruled by the freaking Taliban. Yeah, it's not the players fault, but neither was apartheid, and South Africa was still banned.

Laughing about bloody Bangladesh scoring over 300 on a deck that India could barely manage 200 on across 2 innings several years ago, to the point where Steve O’Keefe took 12 wickets.

A classic example of Indian pitch doctoring blowing up in their face.

When he doesn't get out for single figures the Bison can sure go to town.

Credit where it's due to the Poms. They're doing what all good teams want to do and hitting form right as the semi finals start.

If India don't win the world cup, it should be seen as a choke.

it will be.

The day where population plus fanatacism results in a cricketing juggernaut is more or less upon us. India has been so far above every other nation at this World Cup, it's ridiculous.

 

[darksquare]

India could probably field a 2nd XI that would make the semi-finals. Us, not so much.

Yep. Also, playing India, unless they **** it up is going to be like what playing us in the 2000's was like, however it'll be permanent.
