I trace Bangladesh fast bowling's resurgence from the dark ages of 2018 when the think-tank didn't even bother picking a fast bowler, to a sweet May evening in 2026 when the fast bowlers blew away Pakistan in their spin fort Mirpur.

🚨Story time out now!
@afidelf joins the show for an unlikely tale of an unlikely nap, one with real consequence. There's also a Welsh excursion for a squad of Western Australians, the kid who won player-of-the-match from well down the pecking order.

That's a BCCI video not an ICC one. He is in his personal capacity as an Indian not as an ICC chairman. Stop pretending to be a whiny Brit you are not one of them. This is a clear case of sour grapes ungrateful bastards these Lankans 🤡🤡

Loved watching Sanju Samson in the semi and final. A bit late to share here, but here's my piece on him from Ahmedabad after the final.

Ten shots of ICC Chair Jay Shah.
One shot of Player of the Tournament Sanju Samson.
No shots of bowling MVP Jasprit Bumrah (aside from trophy shot).
The BCCI and ICC are telling you in broad daylight what is important to them, and where they are taking the sport.
Visuals that the whole nation will remember for ages 🇮🇳
🎥 Special moments of pure and unfiltered joy from #TeamIndia's historic triumph in the #T20WorldCup 2026 🏆🙌

"Samson has lived out the fantasies of even some of the greatest to ever play, and in doing so, passed his name into legend"

Brilliant analysis from @afidelf about the way NZ's team culture has shaped their success on the field.
#T20WorldCup | South Africa went into this semi-final confidently, and rightfully so, wearing the favorites tag. However, nobody could have predicted the fire and brimstone that came from the 'nice guys'.

My favourite cricket bard/wordsmith of this generation, @afidelf channeling his muses to honour Sanju the batsman in his inimitable, eloquent style. "His bat butterfly-kisses the ball, and as if a whisper has passed and permission has been given, the ball squeals away on a high and euphoric trajectory, rotating giddily as it travels, back somersault after back somersault after back somersault". espncricinfo.com/story/ind-v…

"When Sanju Samson is in this kind of flow state, the hard physics of the act of batting melts away" ✍️
History, data, physics… nothing could impede Samson once the mood took hold, writes @afidelf: srkl.in/6015BAF3Nz

No semis in Sri Lanka, no semis for Sri Lanka, but something bittersweet to take from the final game?

That’s the Harry Brook shot that amazed us all last night at RPS. Brilliantly captured by the brilliant Viraj Kothalawala.

Could be Dasun Shanaka's last match as captain.
He's leaving on a pretty haunting low, but important to remember that every SL men's white ball captain in the last 10 years has been beaten down by the role. It's a rough gig.
