Cricketing Trends on Social Media Today

The cricketing trends on social media today revolved around the India-New Zealand game in the ongoing World Cup in England and Wales. The fraternity waited for an eternity for the rains to relent but it never happened. It was a stop-start kind of an affair with the heaven gods playing with the groundstaff. After several inspections, the umpires finally had to call off the game in which even the toss didn’t take place.

The former cricketers and experts were waiting eagerly for the game to start. But the conditions never really improved at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Bishan Singh Bedi had a spare of thought for ICC who are currently facing the ire of the fans. A total of four matches have been washed in the last few days and it was pure luck that the weather changed dramatically for the encounter between Australia and Pakistan in Taunton the other day.

Meanwhile, Shahid Afridi presented his views over Pakistan’s second loss in four matches in the competition. They went down to Australia chasing 308 runs and were bundled out for 266 runs. Afridi felt that the batsmen who got starts should’ve scored big after getting in. But that didn’t happen as Babar Azam scored 30 runs, while Mohammad Hafeez and Imam-ul-Haq scored 46 and 53 runs before getting out.
