**** me did anyone see that?

Started to rain with Bangladesh 2 runs behind the DL score. Trott, the Afghani coach, tells them to slow it down from the boundary so first slip, who is standing still, grabs his hammy and falls over.

I kid you not, it is a complete disgrace.

Eh, its 20/20, I’m honestly not bothered that we’re out.

The farce at the end of the Afghan Bangladeshi game is a bit of a concern though, that shouldn’t happen in cricket.

Usually when you pull a hammy you don't start flaying that leg all about like you got a cork or something :D

The Afghans need to bring Mozza on as a consultant or if it's toe and calves they are after plenty of current Sharks players we can loan them

I've watched a bit but only as novelty value.
A few of the 'legends' have put on a bit of timber, as most of us do I guess when you hit that age. ;)
I think it’s great to watch 😂 some of the players still look like they could still play at the top level. Class is permanent with a few of these guys.

Sad to hear today that Graham Thorpe has passed away. Was an absolute gun in the late ninety’s and early 2000’s for England. RIP

He did it to himself. God ****ing damn it this has to stop. Please talk to somebody fellas if you start feeling like this. PLEASE.

Far out man 😢😢

I know we all bag each other at times lads and don’t agree on certain things but I second with what CrazyMatt is saying.

Anyone ever feeling down and out reach out! I’m always available for a chat anytime.

This. Mens mental health does not get the attention it needs to. I can safely say if I didn't take the steps I have I don't know if I would still be here. Reach out guys. The silence never helps.

Glad you’re still here mate! Worlds a better place with you in it. Also well done for seeking that help.

I’ve struggled my whole adult life and was lucky enough to get help at the right time also. It ain’t weak to speak.

A lot of chatter online asking the question - Should Steve Smith remain as an opener or do they drop him back to the middle order? Or completely drop him from the side.

I know there's a few cricket followers on here so interested to hear your thoughts.
