The last time Australia played Samoa in an RL World Cup game they won 46-0.

Since 1972, Australia has only been beaten in one RL World Cup final

The numbers speak for themselves. Ya can't lose. Put the house on them

I’m sure we beat Samoa 60-6 in the group stage stranger things happened Bazza

Great win for England in the final. Was a tense run chase but the job got done. Stokes playing yet another critical innings.

They certainly did, mate. That's why it was such a shock to see England lose the semi-final.

Australia will still probably win the final but Samoa will be no pushover.

Actually, a win for Samoa would be in the best interests of the game. Australia has been virtually unbeatable for the last 50 years whether in World Cups, Ashes series, or Tests. All are built on a hugely popular, powerhouse domestic league where the best in the world play every week.


If a little place like Samoa can beat or threaten that, it will shake the game up a bit



Things are starting to change in cricket too. Look at the T20 WC. Ireland beating England, Zimbabwe beating, Netherlands beating South Africa, Australia struggling to beat Afghanistan etc


All good for the game.

Paki's vs Poms 1st Test


Looked at my phone and saw the Poms were 174/0. Ok doing well then looked again. That was at LUNCH after 27 overs. Never seen that before.


Ended up 506/4 off only 75 overs


Gotta be some kind of record that. And it was.

Rewriting the Record Books




Ok a flat pitch and rubbish bowling but they still did it.



What I don't understand is why Pakistan only bowled 75 overs. I thought 85 was the minimum in a day's play, weather permitting.

Turned out to be bad light. Same again on the 2nd day

I know you can get punished for a dangerous pitch they should be punished for producing a terrible flat useless wicket surely they can do it this day and age
I turned it off today

After England's record breaking day yesterday, tuned in today hoping to see Pakistan lose early wickets. No chance of that happening, the wicket is an absolute road. Pakistan look set to score around 500 runs. Game set to just drift off into mediocrity which isn't what anyone wants to see. Don't suppose anything can be done about it but there's little point in preparing wickets that offer bowlers fuck all.
