No Obvious Flaws



The naming of the tournaments is pretty cringe - big bang, blast, kill, cpl, ipl, destroy, rape, cia, fbi, pillage, etc.

Team names based on weather like the Australian teams do.

Exciting matchups like the London Showers vs the Manchester Misery.

There's not many people *in* Leeds who want to go to the cricket judging by some of the crowds they get for England games

Even if DLS doesn't come in to play, it's obvious that the moisture added to the pitch is what robbed us of the ability to take wickets. Not Boult bowling half volleys with no one at long on or off.

I initially thought the keeper had hit the wickets, too. Umpire didn't put his finger up - no real problem with him asking?

Actually - gently caress Warner.

Yeah is a loving stupid decision. If he wanted another slow bowler, bring on someone new at least.

And if you are going to have a slow bowler, bring the loving field in to stop the 1s and 2s.
