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?
fecking genius.
Didn't bat well enough, haven't bowled well enough, haven't fielded well enough.
Not much you can do when you come up against this, but we've made it so easy for him.

They don't even care about running between wickets. Six, Four and Stroll
Gayle has 97 runs
20 in 4s
66 in 6s
11 runs not from the boundary lol

Sensational hitting.
Great to watch. They just take the piss
Hope to see Russell perform with the bat. Absolutely lethal batsmen.
3rd fastest hundred in T20 Internationals. Awesome 
Yup. He hits them very very big when he gets going.
If Gayle and Samuels get them off to a good start then the Sammy and Russell become as dangerous as anyone. You really don't want those two with the freedom to slog.
Finish with a 6 Gayle
He could turn the bat upside down and hit Jordan for six with the handle.
Gayle finally decides to have a clutch innings ffs
Gayle's T20 record is incredible, averages 43 @ a SR of 150 with seventeen 100's, only 5 other guys have more than T20 100's.
Yup. Add bravo to that and it's a fantastic batting side. Their bowling is bang average though. Narine is too big a miss for them.
Jordan had decent figures in the end
4-0-24-0
It was the others who got some tap, particularly Stokes, going for 42 from his 3 overs
Yep. He's the best in the world by a huge distance.
I'm expecting comparable carnage from AB too now that he's opening for SA
I wouldn't. I don't think we play enough of them.
Nah not having that.
Kohli's average is godlike, but its T20 cricket and average doesn't come into it anywhere near as much as it does in other forms.
Gayle has more 50s, more hundreds and a better strike rate both in international and franchise cricket.
fecking 17 centuries. Its insane.
Kohli's average is godlike because he's godlike in T20. Got 9 half centuries and two forty's in the last 16 T20 innings. Even with this century I won't be surprised to see Kohli score more than Gayle in this world cup.
Gayle has also played a lot more t20 cricket tbf. Kohli made piss easy work of a similar target SA set him in the last World cup semi final. He's just as effective, just a different way of doing it.
Kohli is a consistent match winner, Gayle isn't. Kohli will guide you home 9 out of 10 times.
For explosiveness and pure power however is Gayle much more fun to watch.

Gayle is one dimensional. On his day, he will go beserk. He isn't someone who will play slowly taking quick singles and 2s/3s if the situation demands it. If he can't hit boundaries , he will struggle to score.
Frankly, Kohli, Dhoni, Sangakkara, Mccullum, AB, Hussey are players I'd have over Gayle

I'm all for more women's games being televised but why on earth have both live games so far featured Bangladesh? This is T20 and none of these Ban girls have a career SR of 90+. Surely you would want to televise even contests rather than one mismatch after another?
Something is wrong when the commentator says at 33/2 after 8.3 overs that 'the batsmen have been much more aggressive in this game'.

Decent effort in the end from Bangladesh. Were never likely to chase England's total but made their highest score.
Day 9: Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan
If there is going to be any upset in the main round, today is it. SL team looks so uninspiring. Afghanistan have power hitters right down to 9-10, just need one guy to stick around.
Going by your post record last 2 days, Afghanistan is going to be all out for 70 and SL will chase it in 4 overs
Afghans letting the world down. It's the same pitch a useless lineup scored 200 on yesterday ffs.
Joke is on you.Going by your post record last 2 days, Afghanistan is going to be all out for 70 and SL will chase it in 4 overs
15-20 runs short I guess but at least they've given themselves something to bowl at.
The Afghan lads pack a mighty punch. Some huge sixes at the end there!
This is ridiculous. Yeah, he might struggle if he doesn't hit boundaries but that's exceedingly rare and he more than makes up for it. Who gives a feck if he doesn't run when he can hit sixes at will.
Kohli is comparable because of the sheer force of numbers but the rest aren't even close.
AB isn't even close? Although I think Prath is being harsh.
Sign up that policeman. Better chest control than Fellaini.
His T20 record is fairly ordinary (yes its because he was batting too low down the order, but still).
This 17 year old is pretty good.
Ab is not as good although not close is probably harsh. The rest shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
Would have been a tight finish if they had fielded decently. Is Inzy their fielding coach as well?
