  1. Rishi Sunak will become Britain's latest Prime Minister tomorrow. Who it'll be the day after that, I can't say...
  2. For my part, I don't expect cricket to ever be a permanent part of the Olympic schedule but when certain countries host the Games (Australia, India and possibly the UK or South Africa) and have suitable cricket stadiums that can be used there are financial and other reasons why it could be included. The quota argument is a good argument against cricket but actually a better one against baseball and softball where the squad sizes are so much bigger. I think 2 cricket tournaments of 8 teams would take up around 240 quota, about the same as baseball/softball in 2021. You could even cut it down to 2 6 team tournaments with 14 players on each roster (168 quota)
  3. No. I don't think so. So many Olympic cricket golds would be iconic here but Australia and especially India and Pakistan would be much bigger.
  4. Waldemar Fibigr, the Czech sprint canoeist from 1988 and 1992 Olympics, died on Friday. Really interested to see what @bestmen's opinion is on that...
  5. In my opinion Cricket is only an Olympic sport if the Games are held in India or Australia. And nowhere else.
  6. Yes, sorry, I should have remembered about basketball. My apologies
  7. beat 32-14 Wish there was a better flag available for an all-Ireland team... Lebanon just need to beat to reach the last 8
  8. That's why boxing and weightlifting should be worried
  9. Indian TV money beats that...
  10. Athletics - Men's Long Jump I can't go against a man who won it 4 times in a row although I can't say I like his personality, but Carl Lewis gets my vote. Beamon's performance was fantastic but the doubt over the wind reading for his jump has to be noted. Swimming - Men's 200m Individual Medley Phelps, 4 wins. Nothing more to be said Table Tennis - Women's Singles Always vote for China in table tennis. Badminton - Women's Doubles I go for the 2 time champions... Badminton - Mixed Doubles Tempted to go for the 1972 demonstration champions from but since they were not an option, the 2016 gold medalists were totally dominant.
  11. I think a 6-8 team tournament might creep under the quota. And I don't think it hurts that India pays a lot less for rights to show the Olympics than other countries of the same stature. Olympic cricket = $$$$
  12. I think we should remember this is very likely to be an Olympic sport in this format in 10 years time.
  13. The Australians of beating the English-Australians of Ireland at half time Can anyone think of a Lebanese team doing well in a team sport before today?
  14. Dietrich Mateschitz, the founder of the Red Bull group of companies, has died aged 78.
  15. England are officially the first team to qualify for the quarter finals
  16. Solid win for over
  17. Still think was better
  18. Personally I'm waiting for to have someone competing in this...
  19. As long as nobody knows the rules then nobody can criticize the judging
  20. Are there any rules for judging it this time? I remember that at the Youth Olympics it was basically "Which do you like best? The one going first or the one going second?" and that's how they decided who won
  21. Australia batting badly and suffering some bad luck...
  22. The British public have spoken....
