Grrrrrr. I'm just about over this.

Already, the Banglas v. Scots match has me reaching for the mute button.

It's the OTT bullshit from the PA announcer, during any pause in play, esp. between overs. Hysterical and repetitive chanting of team names, players names and whatever other unintelligible screeches.

And that comes after the nonsensical, seemingly interminable pre-match carry on.

It'd NOT the Olympics !!

If this stuff features in the Aussie matches, someone else can report on them.

Oh, by the way, Bangladesh is humbling Scotland. The Scots are 6/54 after 12 overs.

I'm outta here. :(

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

Last night, NZ looked a bit like they have a tail that starts at number 3.

Easy win for India, by 8 wickets and with 13 balls to spare.

Rohit retired on 60 from 41 balls.

Rahul seemed to hit his 3 sixes with ease. Scored 39 from 31 balls.

This one is nothing.

Dont see the Aussies winning much this t20 comp at Oman. They wont make finals. Probably win 2 matches thats it to a minnow.

Alot of them its practice for the Aussie summer.

Reality check for Oz...

But they shouldn't need one... Oz's recent T20I record is atrocious...

Reminds me of the recent ODI record before the ODI WC. And we know what happened there. Probably the worst WC SF performance in Oz history.
