It's nothing to do with Reform, looks how unbalanced everyone else is.

If you're changing the voting system to keep a specific party out of power you're doing it for the wrong reasons

Would have been much simpler just to have guaranteed one semi final in Sri Lanka though

Good pun but the 2nd panel actually says 0 milligrams. The joke still lands, it's just a bit off!

The scorn John Davidson has received is disgraceful. He has Tourette's. The words he used are abhorrent. He didn't mean to say them. It's clear many of those criticising him don't understand that.

Still hoping for Amazing Spiderman 3 where we get Garfield's Spidey between losing Gwen and the No Way Home redemption. The bit where he says things got dark...

The group stage lasted literally 2 weeks. That's not long at all, and certainly not compared with 6 weeks for the last ODI WC group stage...

Implying the first round is not the real world cup is regressive, exclusionary nonsense from someone I once saw as a champion of growing the game...

Paul Stirling, a UK resident, was required to play a couple of seasons of the Blast as an overseas. This was a clear violation of UK work law but absolutely nothing came of it. I would expect this to be no different

Pakistan can't travel to India so must have a path to the final that is 100% in Sri Lanka

I know it's largely necessary for this event, but get rid of it for the next one!

If you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin – it's worthless. The history books will now have to be rewritten.

Americas could be the region to lose out ultimately. I can't see the region getting two qualifiers so USA going out here is going to mean they'll only have two teams at 2028. But yes, ICC will review after the tournament so we'll see if it's 5 Europe, 3 Africa or 4, 4. My bet's on the latter

Few nice ideas floating about again on T20WC qualifying. I should really do some writing & sketch some flow charts

So it absolutely makes sense to give the announcement some space and start building up to the tournament by itself rather than competing against the game's flagship event.

Hotel costs for June really aren't going to move much in the next month anyway. I think you're making more of this than it is

Let's face it, only diehards will have given a damn anyway because of the MT20WC build up and concurrent U19WC, which is a bigger event as the ICC media coverage showed. Dropping the announcement in that week with U19s still going would have been lost to the majority anyway...

Will be announced after the Men's T20 as I understand, ECB/ICC don't want to bury the announcement under everything else

and you won't be able to see that that's what's happening.

the park should not be full of broken glass.
you can't just ban children from the play area and call the problem solved.
1) they now have no play area
2) everyone else is still getting cut to ribbons
