How badly do you want this, #JapanCricket? It’s time to summon that Samurai Spirit - fight with discipline, heart & hunger! Beat UAE 🇦🇪 today & keep the #T20WorldCup dream alive. I wonder if @CricketJapan knows how many fans worldwide are rooting for them? You got this, 🇯🇵! 🤞

@DalBhatCricket @cricketglobefan @CricketJapan Takahashi - half Japanese. Samad - lived in Japan for 17 years. Do your research genius.

@cricketglobefan @CricketJapan I dont support japan. All players are pakistani. Takashi pakistani ahmed abdul sab pakistani

@bestcricstories @DGBeswick1 ???

@DGBeswick1 Has to be Samoa for the neutrals no? Japan are the big bad in East Asia. Don't think anyone supports them 😂

East Asia-Pacific cricket fans right now

@eseyz @Emerging98 Thanks for admitting your mistake. Perhaps you’ll think a bit more before making such comments in the future.

@Alan_Curr @Emerging98 I agree i don’t know much about them, Sayonara (Thank you in Japanese) my friend. Konichiwa (Have a good day)

Absolutely Stunning from Japan 🇯🇵 to beat Kuwait 🇰🇼 convincingly in a 178 run chase, and thus confirming their Super6 spot in the #T20WCAsiaEAPQ in Oman. Kuwait eliminated now from the competition. Winner between Nepal 🇳🇵 and Japan to carry forward 2 points into the Super6 stage.

@eseyz @Emerging98 Well I know them all pretty well, which is more than can be said for you.

@Alan_Curr @Emerging98 Now don’t tell me they’re your Japanese cousins.

@aseemshiva78 @CricketBadge Serious day for you yesterday Lenny!

We don’t wait for the World Cup to cheer cheering runs in our blood! Whether it’s in a shop, a newsroom, or out on the field — children, women, the elderly, even our armed forces— everyone cheers with the same passion! 🔥🇳🇵The El Clásico of Associate Cricket — Nepal vs UAE! 🏏🔥

@eseyz @Emerging98 What absolute nonsense. Do you know anything about these players?

@Emerging98 Irony: None of them are true Japanese.

@Emerging98 @ihatemoney5451 If they’d not had the warm up matches, they could have had the exact number of playing days and had a full single round robin.

@ihatemoney5451 Too many matches to organize then, means too much of expenses for ICC. Not feasible.

If the ICC EAP Qualifier for #T20WorldCup stayed as it was for 2024 edition, it would have definitely been a double round-robin format between PNG, Samoa and Japan for the 1 spot, but still would have given Samoa and Japan more chances for an opportunity to qualify. If the ICC Asia Qualifier for #T20WorldCup stayed as it was for 2024 edition, then it would have definitely been a single round-robin format between UAE, Nepal, Malaysia, Kuwait and Qatar for 2 spots, thus providing 4 minimum games to achieve the goal. Instead, what we have is a merged event for 1 extra slot possibility for an Asian country to qualify for the #T20WorldCup, for which ICC Asia Associate members pushed for, during the 2024 ICC AGM, and got it approved. However, it has come at a price. A format of 3*3, with only 2 games deciding advancing further into the event or going back home, it will only take 2 bad days or a bad day & an average day for any team to miss out on their dream.

@SOCobhamPod @SJohnsonSport Massive high five to producer Lucy for getting this done. Really cool to know the people behind the pod care that much. Well played (and cheers to Simon as well).

𝗦𝗢𝗖 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗥𝗔 🚨🏆 A bitesize look at the 3-1 defeat out in Munich with @SJohnsonSport 👉 Individual errors and lapses prove costly 👉 Yep, Cole Palmer belongs on this stage 👉'Something special' can come from defeat says Enzo #CFC pod.fo/e/32cb74

@Baz210803537461 @cwjreynolds By that logic, every job in the world is easy.

@Alan_Curr @cwjreynolds No but the 11 players chosen to play for England do it for a living.

Does a single Australian understand how the concept of a moral victory works?

@Baz210803537461 @cwjreynolds “It’s not hard” says the bloke who’s never done it, or even tried it.

@Alan_Curr @cwjreynolds It's not hard when the surface was proving hard for the bowlers, Brook and Root gifted the Indians their wickets and breathed life to them and bearing in mind over 200 runs were scored before we got to the eve session, yes, in similar conditions in oz, yeah they are winning that.

@Baz210803537461 @cwjreynolds You’re welcome to your theory, but the facts say otherwise. Chasing close to 400 is bloody hard, that’s why it’s not done very often. Saying “Australia would’ve won that” is just opinion based on zero factual evidence.

@Alan_Curr @cwjreynolds They would have won that if they were chasing 90 runs with 6 wickets in hand with the bowlers toiling With a day extra.

@Baz210803537461 @cwjreynolds Here’s Australia losing 4/36 when chasing 216 at home against the mighty West Indies…last year. espncricinfo.com/series/west-in…

@Baz210803537461 @cwjreynolds I’ll put it another way for you. Australia have never won a test match like that on home soil.

@Baz210803537461 @cwjreynolds Interesting point considering Australia have never scored that many runs to win a test on home soil (and only once it once ever…in 1948)

@cwjreynolds He has a point, when the dust settles and we stop marvelling at individuals like Stokes and Root, the only observation to take here is that Australia would never have lost test match like that on home soil.

@collinsadam @Steve__Clare @SEN_Cricket @Final_Word_Pod The key to any sporting integrity is to keep it meritocratic. Hopefully common sense wins and a promotion/relegation system is put in place…if they spilt into tiers, which obviously they shouldn’t.

@Steve__Clare @SEN_Cricket @Final_Word_Pod It would be prob 6 in tier one but let’s hope it never gets to that. Divisions on the other hand, with promo/relegation, should work really well. It’s a crucial time.

Sad reality: there's a decent chance this will be the final Test Match that Australia ever plays in the West Indies. So, embrace this game at the mighty Sabina Park, however long it lasts, and let's hope it's a belter. #WIvAUS @SEN_Cricket @Final_Word_Pod

@tickerscricket @Cricket1973J @SoggyBonito @mickmurray23 The thing is, that by declaring he’s saved us all the pain of the absolute millions of morons crapping on about how Zimbabwe shouldn’t be allowed to play tests, records getting cheapened etc. For that alone, he has my eternal respect.

@Alan_Curr @Cricket1973J @SoggyBonito @mickmurray23 Monumental bottle job, I'm afraid.

More rattled than I have ever been. A genuine disgrace.

@Cricket1973J @SoggyBonito @mickmurray23 @tickerscricket Thats definitely not bottling it. Thats just self awareness. I pretty good trait in a captain.

@Alan_Curr @SoggyBonito @mickmurray23 @tickerscricket It’s not, he did. He doesn’t think he is worthy of the record

@Cricket1973J @SoggyBonito @mickmurray23 @tickerscricket Bottled it? That’s the weirdest take ever.

@SoggyBonito @mickmurray23 @tickerscricket Yep, he just bottled it
