Really hoping there are people here watching the ICC Cricket World Cup.
At any rate, it deserves a thread.

He is a fast bowler who is 7' 1" tall. The ball release probably happens above the 8 feet mark.
Yesterday he managed to bowl a yorker to wicket-keeper.
Meet Mohammad Irfan of Pakistan.
He could be a nightmare on bouncy pitches, which it seems the Oval was not in yesterday's match with India.

NZ take on Scotland today. Both lovely countries.
edit NZ bt Scotland in a low scoring match. Poor batting by NZ. They almost managed to lose the game.
BTW, NZ are rated the underdogs.
Where are the Scottish fans here ? :-)

One of these two methods should work to load that pic above of Irfan.
1) Right click on image icon placeholder and reload the pic (in place).
2) Copy paste the image url to a new browser tab/window.

England's next match is on 20th vs NZ.
Save your energy for the big day.

Match 9: England vs NZ
England beaten hands-down.
Tim Southee bags '5' wickets.
Brendon McCullum scores fastest 50.
England 123/10 (33.2)
NZ - 125/2 (12.2)
After some thought I've chosen West Indies as my favourite to win the cup.
Primarily because of captain (Sammy) who plays his heart out every match and a real gentleman and sportsman.
Go Sammy !
