Not only was Maxy's 339 points last night the best of the tournament so far; it was 100 points better than the next best. Ravi Jadeja got 239 in game 37 against South Africa a couple of days ago.

The 3 people that had Maxwell as C are SCS people.
2 of them have already qualified for the final section.
Yep, I'm jealous!

As the sole member of that trio to have not yet qualified for the final section I couldn't be happier!

Talk about the big choke

After Section 4 I was 4th Overall (310 points behind the Leader)

4 games later I am 1314 behind the Leader

Ind v SA 49th for the match , captain scored 27
Ban v SL 57th for the match , captain scored 0
Aus v Afg 69th for the match , captain scored 14
Eng v Neth 68th for the match , captain scored 11

5 games to go to get back on track

It amuses me that even when we have no control of the selections and the outcome we all still take it personally (ie use of the word “choke”). I am no different.

Absolutely zero control , but the fluctuations from game to game can be amazing (and now overall from section to section)

I blame South Africa (or probably the media) for using the word choke in conjunction with the World Cup

wow

interesting batting line-up for South Africa , owners of Number 11 got an absolute present

Coetzee , Maharaj , Rabada , Ngidi is their normal order

lucky breaks I guess

thankfully QDK didn't suddenly swap to # 2 , needed a decent captain's score

I wonder if 6 catches is a record in WC match?

I wonder if 6 catches is a record in WC match?

6 – Adam Gilchrist vs Namibia in 2003
6 – Sarfaraz Ahmed vs South Africa in 2015
6 – Quinton de Kock vs Afghanistan in 2023

Yep.
I lost earlier on the Nabi swing, but definitely won on the Coetzee round-a-bout!

All 3 that have M Marsh for C are sitting 43rd or worse for the section.

India creating scoring havoc.
They've used 8 bowlers in 33 overs.
I reckon the keeper will bowl next!
