Using my VPN for the first time in a long time and connected to a server in US to watch something on NBC's twitter account and I got a bit of a surprise to see that Sports Trending in USA is the #BorderGavaskarTrophy.
All those expats in USA either getting pumped for the series, or worried they will continue their losing streak after home series loss to the kiwis. Plus a few expat Aussies may have thrown in a comment.
The Indian diaspora in USA is about 5.1 million, and born in India is 2.8 million of that 5.1 million.

Think all the tweets has been inspired by the Herald Sun and Daily Telegraph front and back pages.

It was exactly the same in this mornings Advertiser. Looks like a Murdoch thing across the nation. I am not sure why we need it, it may have been sponsored by Cricket Australia in an attempt to encourage the ex pat Indians through the gate although I am not sure they would need much encouragement. It was simple task to peel the two front and back pages off and chuck them in the bin. Load of wank imo.

I thought Harvey Norman paid for all the Murdoch rags' around the nation, front and back pages.
And Jake Lehmann ends up with 46*.
Along with Liam Scott, missing out on a half century because they completed the run chase.

Tom Rehn made me smile this morning - he joked, "What a crazy world we live in - I'm starting to think that SA might never lose another game."

After regularly seeing T20I games in progress at the top of Cricinfo home page between say, Denmark v Spain, Cyprus v Greece, Bhutan v Maldives etc last night,I looked up how many nations and territories are given T20 International status at
www.espncricinfo.com
It is 103 nations and territories as having played official international games.
Take away 8 teams, ie a World XI and 7 territories of Bermuda and Cayman Islands who have National Olympic Committees (NOCs) plus Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey and St Helena and you have 95 nations. But the West Indies isn't a nation it covers players from 10 nations, 3 British territories and the US Virgin Islands so that is 104 nations are effectively represented - all who have National Olympic Committees + Bermuda and Cayman Islands makes it 106.
Edit The West Indies can't play at the Olympics but Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago etc could as they have a NOC.
That was part of the IOC's condition to get into the Olympics, be played in 100 nations / NOCs and a new sport has the chance to get repeat Olympics.
Break Dancing and Flag Football in 2028 are part of the new rules that the home nation can pick a sport that doesn't meet all the criteria that newer sports like softball and baseball, rugby sevens, squash and lacrosse have to meet. I reckon Brisbane will choose Surf Lifesaving as their "home nation" sport.
So there is around 100 nations/territories that could play Oz in a T20I and have the same status as an Oz v India game have.
So make 120 in a game for Cyprus vs Greece and it has the same status as 120 Travis Head makes against South Africa. Have a batting average of 55 and 1700 runs for Bhutan in T20I's and that has the same statistical comparison as someone who has made 1700 runs at 55 in T20I's for Oz or India, England, NZ etc.
Looked at ODI status and 29 nations and territories have international status. 20 nations have played at an ICC ODI World Cup.
www.espncricinfo.com
3 of those teams are African, Asian and World XIs, East Africa combined nations played in 1975 WC but no longer exist so down to 25 teams. Jersey is a territory of UK have played 5 games in 2023 so down to 24 teams. There are 5 nations that haven't been to an ODI WC but have been to a T20I WC and have ODI international staus - Hong Kong, Nepal, Oman PNG and USA which leaves the 19 nations that have been to a WC.
Scotland is called a nation but it doesn't have a NOC.

This is what I meant in my previous post that someone from a minnow nation could play a lot of T20I's against other minnow nations and be the statistical leader in T20I official records.

Inexcusable 1st innings by the deadbacks.
Haha - tonite's T20 vs Pakistan will be a 7 overs a side affair - assuming no further lightning or rain.

We could take 6 for 0, and we'd still be in huge trouble. Anyone here good at doing a rain dance?

Since Oz beat the poms in 1989 I have a notebook where each test series I keep score of what the series result has been. I separate a few pages apart home series results vs away series.
Cummins test captaincy record at home stacks up with the best of them. His away record isn't as good as his home record and is more in line with what Mark Taylor achieved offshore, slightly better than Taylor, and isn't as good as Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting's record.
Cummins as captain has delivered with the both the ball and the bat. He has played some important innings that have got the win.
Waugh and Ponting eras included players you would put in your best ever Oz team - Warne, McGrath, Gilchrist and Ponting and guys probably playing in the 2nd X1 - Hayden and the Waugh twins and others close to being in it, ie Langer, Gillespie and Lee probably make a 3rd XI.
Bottom line is that its easy to win in Oz, not so easy offshore.
Ohps that should be Smith 4 for fill ins in Cummins era.
Alan Border has 2 distinct periods of his captaincy so I didn't put him in the above era's but his captaincy record from the start of that 1989 tour to England stacks up with those above.
Pre England 1989 P 39 W 7 L 13 D 18 Tie 1
From England '89 P 54 W25 L 9 D 20
break down since 1989
Home P 27 W 13 L 3 D 11
Away.. P 27 W 12 L 6 D 9
Border had to deal with a rampaging West Indies which only Mark Taylor had to deal with for 2 series. None of the other captains have had an opponent as hard and dominate for as long as the West Indies. Yes India are bloody hard to beat in India and have beaten us the last 2 series, but they don't dominate like the Windies used to.
Plus post 9/11 Pakistan have hardly played at home, so its easier to beat them in a neutral UAE or England.
Plus he didn't have peak Warne and McGrath who were able to bowl outsides all around the world, as well as put on so much pressure that teammates picked up the wickets.
