Current International One Day Cricket

The next scheduled ODI cricket is supposedly a 3 game ODI series between Ireland and Bangladesh in Northern Ireland commencing 14 May but I doubt it will proceed.

T20 WC may still proceed.

"The ICC has bought further time before making a decision on the fate of the men's T20 World Cup, as it keeps tabs on the encouraging progress Australia and New Zealand are making against the Covid-19 pandemic.
...
Richard Colbeck, the Australian Sports Minister, told Sportstar that the country had flattened the pandemic curve and consequently was a "fitting host for an international sporting spectacle" and could even allow spectators based on the ground situation at the time."

Looks like the T20 World Cup is being postponed.

No surprise really.

Postpone indefinitely should be the decision.

T20 WC officially postponed

"This year's men's T20 World Cup has officially been postponed, with the International Cricket Council hedging its bets on when the tournament might return to Australia.

After its latest teleconference hook-up on Monday, the International Cricket Council confirmed the tournament would move from its October-November window this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, paving the way for the Indian Premier League to fill the void.

The ICC has instead confirmed windows for the next three global men's tournaments, with men's T20 World Cups to be played in October-November 2021, and again in October-November 2022, while the 2023 ODI World Cup has also been pushed back from February-March to October-November of that year.

Future ICC events

2021 Women's ODI World Cup, 6 February to 7 March, New Zealand

2021 Men's T20 World Cup, October to 14 November, Host nation TBC (India or Australia)

2022 Women's T20 World Cup, dates TBC, South Africa

2022 Men's T20 World Cup, October to 13 November, Host nation TBC (India or Australia)

2023 Men's ODI World Cup, October to 26 November, India

Australia and India remain as hosts of the next two men's T20 World Cup events but which country hosts in which year is still to be determined, with the delay allowing the ICC to continue to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic."

No surprises there.

Good. Don’t postpone it, just can it.

seems unlikely that you would schedule a 2022 T20 World Cup and 2023 ODI World Cup both in India. so then India host 2021 T20 World Cup, and Australia host 2022 T20 World Cup

We’re squeezing in some JAMODIs with Ireland between the WI and Pakistan Test series (though all the Test players are excluded). Certainly a packed schedule for this shortened season.

Davey Dick demolishing them, another one with a point to prove. We could have batted first, to give the TV viewers more action, though...

At one point (78-4), you were speaking too soon ...

Well yeah, a couple of the understudies fluffed their lines, before perpetual next cab off the rank Billings stepped up and saw us home alongside the captain. With such an established top six in this format, the deputies need to seize every opportunity here.

Curiously, Ireland used four bowlers in the first 13 balls of the England innings...

Christ, so they are still wheeling out Saj Mahmood??

FMD, he was shit 10 years ago.

Oh wait, it's Saqib Mahmood.

bwahaha.

I was very fond of the Big Mah Moo.

Skully - have we ever done a favourite amusing Oppo XI

Yeah, and as with Zak Crawley, seemingly unrelated to his England predecessor. And looks like he might even be half decent.

You'll be laughing the other side of your faces lads, if SaQ knocks out your top order in the next Ashes.


(Risking a bit of a Keegan here ...)

Don't think so, h.

Think it a fair proposition? OK I will think about it and put up an xi - of fun but not nasty derision.

Curtis Campher seems to be a player with some talent. I watched a bit of him bat - sensible stuff.

Just Jaysus - how about Johnny last night?

I dont think the Paddies will be mothballing him

Noice.

The Rum guy showing what he can do (esp. when a decent chance is spilled), and now it's almost time for the Flowerpot Men. Bill and Ban.

By the way, who gave Roy & Vince the book of vouchers each for free drinks at the Last Chance Saloon?

Well that was quick, "WEEEEEEEED!"

If you're calling Morgan the Rum guy, and he often goes the lash ...
