The review of 2022

Azhar Ali's leg glance

The lowest scores in professional cricket

The fading light of the last session

England clock runs per over on day one

Australia leave West Indies in their dust

England win: the final report

England win. Rashid and Hales at home. Jos. India's middle and bad day. The MCG weather.

Pakistan win. Bowlers. Openers. Power plays. Middle. Mitchell’s semi. Used pitches.

How the narratives have changed from World Cup to World Cup

SA nightmare. Dutch dream. Pakistan and India qualify. SKY. Shakib LBW. And Zimbabwe’s team effort.

England qualify. Australia go (stay) home. Sri Lanka freak out everyone. Sam Curran’s teeth and toes. Sri Lanka exit interview. And MUHAMMAD NABI steps down.

Australia win. NZ qualify. AFG batting. Much left arm seam chat. And Kane is back

Pakistan’s chaos innings. Iftikhar. Shadab. Bavuma. Soap balls. Nawaz. Fake fielding and other things umpires have missed.

India. KL. Virat. Litton. Taskin. Bangladesh. van Meekeren. O’Dowd. Raza.

England. New Zealand. Afghanistan. Sri Lanka. Anchors. England bowling. Kiwi seam.

Starc. Finch. Lorcan. And the World Cup Power List.

SA win. Ngidi hits the deck. SKY’s knock. Bangladesh’s grit and grind. Taskin & the Fizz. Williams. Last ball weirdness. Pakistan. Netherlands.

Kiwis win. Sri Lanka's double collapse. Phillips knock. Southee & Boult again. And recycling cold sandwiches.

The best moments and performances of this World Cup

Zimbabwe. Raza. Blessing. Virat. SKY. Dutch middle. Rossouw. Nortje. Shakib. And only the Pakistan Mr Bean.

Ireland Win. Balbirnie. Tucker. England lose. Wood. Rain robs NZ of a potential point. And the Underdogs and bowlers World Cup.

Stoinis & Starc. Kusal's pull. Lahiru and the pace World Cup. And Phil Simmons quits.

South Africa's nemesis. Bangladesh's historic win. Netherland's busted start. Zimbabwe's slippery escape

Virat's shot and knock. Weirdness. That last over. Threes. Indian bowlers. MCG pitch. Iftikhar. Spider cam. Bowled byes. Sri Lanka’s win. Ireland's spin problems. And Shan’s luck.

Finn’s first game. Australia’s throw away. Wood’s rockets. Stokes’ armchair ride. Afghanistan’s lack of runs. Matchups. Mitch.

Zimbabwe's journey continues. Ireland's best T20 day. Scotland and West Indies leave. Shan Masood news. And a history of Max O'Dowd in under 12 cricket

Kusal's catch-up. O'Dowd as Thor. UAE's last beautiful winter. And Wiese walks off into the sunset.

Raza's runs and Watts' wickets
