I have t had much time to actually watch the #ETPL but tomorrow’s final fixture could setup a really interesting final table. If the Wolves and Guardians both win, the top four will all be level at 13 points and everything will be de used by net run rate. I love this game. #T20Cricket🏏

Just read the last page of William Gibson’s Neuromancer and am just blown away. This was such an amazing book and really had me feeling how I did when I read Frankenstein in a single night in high school 20+ years ago. Absolutely mind altering and just a masterpiece.

With the last round of group matches at the #T20WorldCup starting today, I wanted to look at who is in to the next round, who is out, and what each remaining team needs to move forward. Starting with the current standings.

Real life making a mess of getting the podcast ready before the first match starts. For the sake of brevity, here’s the scratch prediction I made for the #T20WorldCup Let me know how accurate or obscenely off base you think I am.

This is not a drill!!! Americans, run don’t walk to Dicks Sporting Goods and buy this little beach cricket bat!

Very interesting first day of play for the #T20IChallengeTrophy I really would have placed Nepal ahead of the USA and I’m super happy to see the women continuing on the solid showing our men had recently. Current standings 🥇🇺🇸 🥈🇮🇹 🥉🇻🇺 4️⃣🇷🇼 5️⃣🇳🇵 #Cricket🏏

Got my copy of @nightwatchmanxi.bsky.social 53 in the mail today. I cannot thank @missingintheslips.bsky.social enough for taking an interest in my little podcast #Cricket🏏 journey. Still hard to believe and still so humbled.

I'm not usually one for AI images but occasionally it feels right. Everytime Bumrah gets a wicket I just hear Mumm-Ra from Thundercats. So...here you go internet. Sorry.

I did not get a good chance to acknowledge this yesterday but I reached 1,000 followers. This is a massive milestone for me as I’ve never had this many followers on any platform. Whether you actually follow for real, just added me from the starter packs or are a bot. Thank you so much.

Happy #England #Cricket🏏 day to all who celebrate. My kit was pseudo lucky during the #Ashes so let’s see how it goes against the Kiwis. #T20WorldCup #ENGvNZL

Trying something new and sharing an image from the spreadsheet I made for tracking #T20Cricket Showing #NZLvSA through the first 18 overs of New Zealand's innings. Happy to hear thoughts/criticisms.

Holy hell. If anyone needed proof that I am still quite new to the game and do not have the massive history and encyclopedic knowledge of the game; here you go.

This is some petty nonsense… Although entirely on brand for the subcontinent relations and even America right now. #T20WorldCup

Doing some prep work for the upcoming #T20WorldCup episode of the #podcast and made a little data table based on the results of all men's T20 matches played between nations that will both be participating in the tournament. A lot of neat information and insights here.

If you love #T20Cricket as I do then Christmas is really bringing it this year. 11 straight matches with no gaps between. The first matches for #SuperSmash #BPL a few #T20I and more #BBL and #ILT20

Someone explain how this rain is a good thing for England. If the match is abandoned then Australia retains the #Ashes trophy anyway, right?

I took a quiz and found out my dog breed is Golden Retriever. So, I did what any rational human would do and used ChatGPT to turn me into Rusty from Bluey.

It arrived! I am officially backing England for the #Ashes. Don’t worry everyone. I am already disappointed with how it’s gone thus far! Ready for the hope and anguish cycle.

Current state of the #EmergingNationsTrophy tournament. Most of the matches have been very close. While I haven’t been able to watch each match in full, what I have seen has been great viewing. As of right now, Scotland automatically take the title if they win out (14pts maximum).

Seems like “I may be crazy” is more accurate. Sorry to disappoint.

Found this on Reddit. Seems that it is a very real possibility that one of the other big countries get in. My money is on New Zealand as the sixth team. Barring that, maybe Pakistan. Their white ball performance has improved a bit since the disastrous Champions Trophy.

The men’s international rankings will also fill out the six nations. It’s interesting (or not) that both groups will be all the same teams based on today’s rankings. Host: United States 🇺🇸 Europe: England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Asia: India 🇮🇳 Oceania: Australia 🇦🇺 Africa: South Africa 🇿🇦 Americas: West Indies 🏝️

So buried in the information related to expanding women’s cricket from the following article is some juicy information regarding the #T20Cricket competition at the #Olympics So there will be a total of 28 games across both men’s and women’s groups. www.espncricinfo.com/story/icc-ag...

European qualification as it stands right now. Italy are leading the table but the last two matches are against Scotland and then Netherlands. This is a similar spot as last cycle. If Italy win either of their last two matches they will finish with 5 pts and almost certainly advance.

I believe I may have cracked the Rosetta Stone for scoring #T20Cricket in a composition book. This is from the first innings of the #CANvUSA final for the North American T20 Cup.

This should be a fantastic series. I’m excited I can watch all of these live more or less for timezones. I think India takes the series most likely but I’ll be rooting for my wife’s England. #INDvENG #Cricket

Some non-cricket content. It rarely snows here in Texas so snow days are very few and far between. This was the youngest kids first time with snow.

This was the meal. It was as advertised. Very spicy. Very delicious. I ate all the rice but was full before I could polish off the curry so I saved some naan and took it home.

For a player of his caliber who was lauded so much ahead of his #BBL debut, Finn Allen has had a pretty awful start. Not exactly the stats you want to see from your number one batter. 4-2, 6-2, 0-3. That is rough stat line.

Shaun | Talkin' T20 @absentmindguy.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

This might have been one of the most one-sided professional matches I’ve ever seen. An absolute bowling/fielding masterclass from the Renegades.
