I love these strong and weak zone graphics with the crudely rendered crowd in the background like playing cricket 97

The best thing about it this World Cup has been showing them and then immediately dumping on a player who bowls there and gets slapped away "YOU CAN'T BOWL THERE TO WARNER" etc.

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

ABC commentators were saying Wahab was deliberately winding up Warner to push him into a dumb shot, and literally the next ball :laffo:

Preferably one where they are both stranded mid-pitch so they have to check with the third umpire to see who is actually out.

Getting in Watson's face is actually a good tactical move.

Man why the gently caress do Pakistan players not dive for the ball ever? They've given away three boundaries that NZ/Aus would have stopped just by sliding for it.
