He is not 20.Eh? He’s 20 years old! How on earth do you appoint a 20 year old as captain over all three formats or if at all
Yeah, and I'm dating Kate Upton.Eh? He’s 20 years old! How on earth do you appoint a 20 year old as captain over all three formats or if at all
Oh no, it’s not one of these date of birth issues again is it.He is not 20.
The first tour match is Saturday.Should have timed it for Saturday, just poor planning
Because we have ties to two nations. In my case Bangladesh and England.
Its not the military it's a sport. Who cares who anyone supporters and flip flops. Besides , nothing wrong with having a secondary team
Im not saying you cant support another national team. What i am saying is that if you've gone to a foreign country for better prospects and that foreign nation has taken you in (or your parents) then you should support that nation first. Here it is quite the opposite, the immigrants who've gotten citizenship of britain/england are supporting India/pakistan/bangladesh/sri lanka against england in england. Well anyway everyone is free to do whatever they want but i think supporting the country that has taken you in would be a decent thing to do.I support the West Indians even though I dont have a drop of WI blood in me... except maybe in the right places.
I guess pakistanis can support both (in any order of precedence) since pakistan allows for dual citizenshipwhy can't they support whoever they like?
Most 1st and 2nd generation immigrants identify with their ethnic origin ahead of their nationality. There's likely a plethora of reasons for that. How "English" we are made to feel plays a large part for me. Integration has probably gone in the wrong direction in recent years.Im not saying you cant support another national team.

Really?Hearing Shastri has been given an extension?
Good comeback, I feel so embarrassed now. Woe is us, we allow dual citizenship. It's amazing a grown man thinks this way.Im not saying you cant support another national team.

45 days.Hearing Shastri has been given an extension?
Erm no it's a sport. Theres no decent thing to do here. Support whoever you want. If I'm living in Aus but find English players more fun I'll support themIm not saying you cant support another national team.

Maybe ICC wanted India to top the table. Did you forget the ICC=BCCI theoryBut what was the fecking point of the group stage? /s
After a certain point, mockery turns to pity.no green smileys ?
Why were all those indian/pakistani descent british citizens supporting england when they weren't earlier on ?
They shouldn't be supporting India/pakistan against england. Flip flops

It may feel like that for millennials and 3rd Generation Brit Asians. But the generation that grew up in 80s and 90s had a different context and grew up in UK as children of desi born parents who taught them what they instinctively knew and the love they had for their birth nation and culture.I thought england is ahead in multiculturalism than others in the west.
As always, you never cease to amaze me with your ignorance, bhai.Why were all those indian/pakistani descent british citizens supporting england when they weren't earlier on ?

Look at the support police on here. “We took you in so you should support our teams!”Im not saying you cant support another national team.

Thank God for that. What a childish thing to get upset over but it is vida. Probably another way for him to prove his Indian ness.As always, you never cease to amaze me with your ignorance, bhai.
To a lot of us, England have always been our second team, since we were brought up here but our first team was always back home because our parents are/were passionate supporters.
I don't watch anywhere near as much cricket as I used to 10-15 years ago but back in the days when England were on free TV, I'd always try to watch them and support them, the Ashes in 2005 being the high point.
It's a shame we're not 100% true desi like you.
Conversation came from an India fan so unrelated to either team tomorrow.Damn man why did we need to have this conversation one day before the final
England winning it comfortably.Predictions anyone?
It's at Lords where we have a very poor record so 50/50 for me. Have to be positive but Lords isn't a 300+ ground so i expect a lowish scoring final.Predictions anyone?
On the other hand NZ's openers have been poor alp tournament. For Guptill if he can finally come to the party they'll be so much better off but Archer and Wood will fancy themselves to get rid early on and get Kane in with a rebuilding job.Yeah supposedly a Green pitch tomorrow which will significantly aid New Zealand.

It depends if Bairstow feck's up and loses the review when he souldn't have reviewed.How many times you think we'll hear
"You're on screen now Kumar, you can reverse your decision"
on Sunday?
Me being uncomfortable until I know for sure what the result will be.Predictions anyone?
