In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
As long as he sees of Tahir it doesn't really matter I don't think. They've got Nabi and Sami to come who are both good hitters. Just need to do what England did (and they tried damn hard not to) and thats not let Tahir win the game.
Afghanistan have been brilliant so far. Don't think they'll win but what an effort
Meh. Losing their way now.
Fecks sake.
If they'd built a slightly stronger base I'd have fancied this pair to win it. Think its just beyond them though.
Gotta love how gutsy these Afghan lads are. Some of the other teams could learn a thing or two from them
FFS all my hopes pinned on Nabi and he goes and plays an Eoin Morgan of a knock. Think thats game over now (if it wasn't already).
Very good effort.
I'd add to that the field placements and tactical approach after India lost 2 wickets in their first over. Afridi spread the field with only 4 men in the circle and gave them easy singles. The RR was around 7 an over - if you give 6 easy singles in an over, then their going to easily cruise to the total and that's what happened. Ridiculous, amateur stuff.
He also seems to have fallen victim to his own hype - being a good captain doesn't mean trying to do everything yourself. It's his last tournament and he pushes himself up the order and keeps bringing himself into the attack whenever a wicket falls because he wants to "lead from the front,"
fecking cnut.
Honestly, if I was a PCB chairman and saw the shit Afridi pulled yesterday, i would have walked into the dressing room, stripped him off the captaincy and sent him home on the next flight.
Edit: I forgot to add that our best player of spin didn't even come in until the last few overs. Sarfaraz is such a good player of the sweep shot, you need to play that or use your feet well against this kind of spin.
Instead, our batsmen showed zero adaptability and sat in their creases saying "oi teri toh" after each ball. Idiots.

Knew I forgot something, the field placement was as bad as anything. Just look at the difference between the two captains. Dhoni was cutting down the angles and cramping the batsmen for room. For Ashwin and Jadeja he had a short fine leg who was unusually fine. He had a long leg and a deep mid wicket. The leg side was well covered and bowlers were bowling according it. If Afridi had Ashwin in the powerplay he would place his two boundary riders at long on and long off meaning no protection behind square. Afridi knows nothing at all about captaincy. No pressure applied at all.
NZ are clear favourites vs Pak, not because their team is that much better but simply because it's the worst captain in the WT20 vs what's proving out to be the best.
Badree and Benn bowled 8 overs, 3/25. Spinners doing the trick in the subcontinent, who would have thought?
Gayle apparently injured his hamstring. That can be a big blow to WI.
Fans chanting We Want Gayle, idiots.
Crowd unaware of Gayle's absence chanting his name in disappointment 
.
.He doesn't bother running anyway.
Who needs Gayle?!
Great start from the Windies
Great start from the Windies
I'm watching both the matches coz it's good omen when I watch Windies play for Utd.
Crowd cheering everytime a wicket falls
The ball bounced in his gloves for fecks sake. THAT WAS OUT! Can these fecking useless 3rd umpires stop ruining the game?
Not Out for me.
That could be the game. No idea what 3rd umpire was thinking.
SL fielding
Don't usually watch women's cricket, but some of the shots in the Aus vs NZ match have been awesome.
Poor from Australia. Ellyse Perry needs to open the innings so that we get to watch proper eyecandy for 20 overs the most explosive batsman in the team gets to face the most amount of overs.
Day 13: Bangladesh vs Australia
This Bangla team is there for the taking all of a sudden without the two chuckers and Tamim. Australia should look to boost their NRR heavily in case it will be required later on (probably won't as it's likely to be winner takes it all between Ind-Aus).
Coulter Nile has missed his length in this final over. Bangladesh has set Australia 157 to win. AUS will fancy themselves but Bangladesh aren't out of it by any stretch of the imagination.
I'll have a bet with you samid that we beat the Aussie's bro
I hope you win but think you guys are 20 runs short.
Khwaja and Watson are such polar opposites. Watson is effective but ugly in his batting style, Khwaja is the most elegant Aussie batsmen I've seen after Mark Waugh.
Bangladeshis could do with bulking up.
Drop
Bangladesh are so so poor away from home.
These led stumps have got to be the best thing ever.
Mustafizur looks pretty handy. Lovely disguised variations.
Warner gone. Aussies having a bit of a collapse.
Seems like the Aussies are trying to better their NRR? Not particularly sensible IMO
It's stupid if that's what they are doing. Win their 3 games and they will go through.
Excellent bowling
