Everyone is saying that Namibia is a strong team and they have native players and should qualify but then why did they lose the matches and therefore unable to qualify? This means that UAE / USA injected non-native players who are better than the native players and therefore their team qualifies. Being able to qualify as a nation is more important than including only native players in the team only to result in a loss.
I also want that the teams should only consist of native players, but when there are no such rules by ICC, Namibia could have taken advantage of this and included two or three foreign players and qualified.

Ok , after last night , I do hate Irving and this guy has managed to broke Mavs team in just a few games after his arrival.  He has no passion to play basket anymore and even if he had , the way he thinks about life in general , won't be any help for his teammates or the team that is playing on.
I so upset on this guy to simply destroying a season of Mavs and man , I do hope they will trade him tonight or simply make him a free agent and leave Dallas tonight man as no one wants him there anymore. My boy Luka has such a great season and a hard working one just for a guy like Irving to come and tell them stories about flat earth society and what other crap he thinks about.

Call me a dreamer but I see this going well for Frank Lampard, I love his new mentality, he wants to win something or get Chelsea to a position that whoever takes over will be in a good position to carry the club forward. Lampard qualifying Chelsea for the 2021 champions league season and assembling all the players that played as a team to win us that title under a new manager was the best gift he gave to Chelsea and I see him doing it again. The last time he took the managerial job, he was too young and inexperienced but now he has matured as a coach and if he was to get us into the top 4 or even 5th and also win us the champions league, I won't mind giving him another shot.
Frank Lampard has a mentality of a winner and he can transfer that to the team. Also we might be seeing the best of Mason Mount and then maybe he finally signs the contract and give Chelsea his best years as a footballer. We all know Mason Mount respect Frank Lampard and if he gets an assurance of Frank Lampard getting the managerial job, maybe he'll change his mind of not living the club knowing he has assurance of if starting under Frank Lampard. Also maybe this is just a perfect way to finally say goodbye to Frank Lampard since he didn't get a befitting fair well as a player or manager.

Lazio vs Juventus will be a tight match. Both teams perform very well currently. Although Lazio is in 2nd place, I don't think that Lazio is better than Juventus. Juventus is just unlucky because he got a problem, so they lose many points. But if we consider the squad quality, I think Juventus squad is much better than Lazio squad. I really expect that Juventus to win this match, they have good motivation to return to top 5. If they win this match, I assume they may return to top 5 at the end of the season.

@Sithara007 so far it’s clear that USA should easily qualify, and Namibia will be praying that other results go their way otherwise they’ll fail to qualify and here I feel had they beaten UAE then they would be in a safer spot. Also at this stage I too expect UAE to win, but I hope that they don’t play in overconfidence and end up suffering an loss which could harm their chances of qualifying.

Understandable. However, I feel that T-10 format could attract a bigger audience primarily due to the length of the games. Many people don't even have time to fully watch T-20 games from start to finish which is where the T-10 format comes into the picture.

It would definitely feel unfair at first, but I am confident that viewers would get used to it pretty quickly.

I agree that Parag can't be compared with Kohli. But please tell me why this guy is in the team. What is his contribution to Rajasthan Royals? He can't bat and he can't bowl. And he has dropped more catches than anyone else in the team. What makes him so special that he has appeared in all the 16 matches played by RR so far in this season? On top of that, he has behaved quite arrogantly on the field. Remember his reaction after he took the catch of Stoinis? Matthew Hayden (commentator for that match) came down heavily on Parag then.

As we are talking about Harry Kane, I can also indicate that Real Madrid would be a good choice for him this summer. We are just making assumptions now of course as we don't even know if he is thinking of leaving even a bit now. He must be enjoying his game under Antonio Conte's great management. If Tottenham weren't able to bring the right manager for the team, I would say that Kane would absolutely leave. But things are different now. As they are going to compete even in the Champions League, he must be happy. On the other hand, a probable offer by Real Madrid might change his mind too.
