Oh I wasn't looking when they showed that replay. What a shame.
Should have tried hitting it with his bat shouldn't he?

I'm a big admirer of Head's moustache.Do you dislike all the Sussex players or just him?

I swear we had a player of the same name at Sussex. Utterly strange what a contrast this Travis Head is to him. I think our one was sent back to club cricket or some minor counties backwater.
If Head scores a match winning hundred, I'll be pleased for him.
I'll be even more pleased if Labuschagne manages to run himself out by tripping over and lodging his own bat handle up his groin, but that might be too much to ask for.

He's not even the most unlikeable cheating Aussie on the pitch, that's Warner. And if half the Shami stuff is true they've a long way to go

Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, Aravinda de Silva, Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Mahela Jayawardene and Travis Head the only centurions in world cup finals.

Channel 5 coverage has some Indian commentators, who are now starting to whinge about how unfair it is they had to bat second...

Would have loved to have seen the Windies (live) in their pomp, as long as I wasn't facing of course...
Ostensibly hilarious that the ICC have tried to rig the entire tournament to ensure India won and they’ve bottled the final. Never enjoyed an Australian cricket victory more.

They were brilliant to watch, and their support in those days was superb - a constant samba band type noise created by beer cans.
I used to go to Lords at least once a year with my mum, a tradition that continued throughout her life. Luckily for me, this included the first three World Cup finals.
In the second one, against England in 1979, my mum fashioned a ‘seat’ out of beer cans. (In those days you could get ground admission tickets and sit on the grass in front of The Tavern). A very drunk Rastafarian stumbled past her and dislodged one of the cans, and she ended up lying on the ground surrounded by beer cans.
He looked down at her and said “Just keep drinking, lady.”

Exactly. And apart from the Aus/SA semi, they don't even turn up unless India are playing. What a shite cricket nation.
Exactly. I couldn't be bothered to say what it was that annoyed me but that was utterly cringeworthy. I am absolutely delighted that Australia have absolutely SPANKED them here.Channel 5 coverage has some Indian commentators, who are now starting to whinge about how unfair it is they had to bat second...
