Makes sense. Strange comment about windy locations though, maybe a chatbot wrote it.

I suspect that's a typo and it's meant to say bails, not bats.

Now that makes sense.

I'm cross that South Africa v Aus and Eng v NZ T20s clash tonight.

India v Pakistan at the Asia Cup will dwarf anything else happening on Betfair over the weekend.

And then the heavy rain came.

STEAMING in Shaheen Afridi Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf - quite a showcase of fast bowling here leading to India to being in Big Trouble

Is this type of bowling legal? That looks like a throw, not a bowl.

This is extraordinary what Sri Lankan lasses are doing v Eng, they are once again completely outplaying them. Who could have foreseen this?

[Emmson]

Pay Parity may have installed an arrogance and complacency into Eng Lasses, this is amongst the most amazing shocks I've witnessed in following cricket.

I like that Asians are Tuned In!

What a turbulent market, what a nasty wicket.

67 Million Matched & counting

Bavuma played a blinder earlier and now concussion sub Labuschagne is exceeding .

[Emmson]

Same ground but this can't be the same strip they played 2 days ago, Travis Head is in Beast Mode today.

Now Davy Warner has joined the party, if this continues a world record could be set.

The rules for valid bowling of the ball is that the arm should be above the shoulder (https://www.lords.org/mcc/the-laws-of-cricket/no-ball).

Probably the most well known and most successful to have a sideways action was Lasith Malinga of Sri Lanka (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nclPaVQmCHc). His name is pronounced with the "g" but the "g" was softened when some referred to him as "Malinga the Slinger"! His action was checked and approved. The reason why not many bowlers use a sideways action is that the timing of the release of the ball is super critical for the placing of the ball to the batter.

One ball before David Warner was dismissed I thought Aus were in a really strong position.
