T20 World Cup 2024
Everything You Need to Know The ninth ICC Men's T20 World Cup will begin on June 1 in the United States and the West Indies (June 2 in India).
— BCCI (@BCCI) January 5, 2024
For the first time since its establishment in 2007, when India was crowned champions, the event will feature 20 groups spread among four organizations in the first round.
Here is an overview of all you need to know about the T20 World Cup 2024:
Format, Groups, and Seeding
Four companies from five groups will compete in a single round-robin style in the league stage. The top two teams from each university will advance to the Super Eights. If the top eight teams from the T20I format advance to the Super Eight, they will be grouped mostly based on their predetermined seedings, regardless of whether they finished first or second in the league stage.
The league-stage firms include India, Pakistan, Ireland, the United States, and Canada.
Group B includes Australia, England, Namibia, Oman, and Scotland.
Group C includes Afghanistan, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Uganda, and the West Indies.
Group D includes Bangladesh, the Netherlands, Nepal, South Africa, and Sri Lanka.
In the Super 8, the groups will again be divided into agencies in a single-spherical robin league, with the top two groups from each organization advancing to the semis.
The predetermined seedings for the Super 8s are: Group 1 includes India (A1), Australia (B2), New Zealand (C1), and Sri Lanka (D2).
Group 2 includes Pakistan (A2), England (B1), the West Indies (C2), and South Africa (D1).

When and where to watch the T20 World Cup 2024 on television?

So was thinking, if there was one, what do you guys think would be best for who's in what card and suite themes?
Please note I do not intend to sell any Venture Brothers cards I am aware the current owner is litigatious towards fan merch and that there was someone like a year ago that did something with trading cards who got banned, I couldn't seem to find much out, I think the posts got deleted or something?

Over the years I've seen a fair amount of rugby, and there are some players who I remember better than others and always had a soft spot for. This isn't necessarily a list of players that I thought were the best at their positions at that time or any (eg I think Dallaglio was great but I never truly warmed to him)- just those that I was partial to, for whatever reason (although many were indisputably great - but many greats are not on the list). So here is my list. This is entirely subjective and there is no wrong answer - so don't get angry with me if I have excluded your favourites. Who are yours?
(PS Can you tell from my list where I am originally from? :) )
15
Christian Cullen. Maybe my favourite player ever. Such a balanced and incisive runner. When we played against the ABs I would always shout at the TV to stop kicking at him because he'd just run it back with such devastating effect.
Andre Joubert. Smooth, unruffled, class. One of those players who always looked like they had all the time in the world. I remember at the Battle of Boet Erasmus where a brawl broke out between SA and Canada that he just stood back watching with what looked like disdain at the fighting.
14/11
Jonah. Duh.
James Small. The man who stopped Jonah.
Emile Ntamack. Classy, pacy, terrific player.
Christophe Dominici. Fantastic.
Campese, of course.
Shane Williams. I do like a small, fast, twinkle-toed wing. See also: Cheslin, Jason Robinson, Breyten Paulsen. They get the ball and all bets are off, and magic can happen.
Lote Tiquiri
12/13
BOD
Jean de Villiers
Brendan Venter. Both such smart players.
Jeremy Guscott. Similar to Andre Joubert, always had time, smooth, classy.
Tim Horan
Lukhayo Am
10
Carlos Spencer. Behind a dominant pack (which he usually was) could make magic. A bit like Finn Russell in that regard. High-risk, high reward, terrifically skilled and exciting.
Finn Russell
Henry Honiball. Nicknamed "Lem" (Blade) - possibly because of how he tackled (hard), but I always thought because of how he could cut a line.
Michael Lynagh. Class.
Hennie le Roux. Lovely running flyhalf. Not a brilliant kicker but could get the line moving beautifully.
9
Nick Farr-Jones. Great player, great combo with Lynagh
Joost van der Westhuizen. Fantastic player. Suspect he was a horrible person but man, he could play. Terrific at sniping runs around or over rucks.
Johan Roux. Tough, nuggety scrummie.
Dupont, of course.
6/7/8 (adding together as players often switched)
Josh Kronfeld. Incredible. The Richie McCaw of his era.
Zinzan Brooke. One of the best 8s I have ever seen. Could do it all.
Richie McCaw, obviously.
Iain McDonald. Played for Transvaal. Had an amazing game against England when England toured SA around 1995, but didn't quite make the step to Test level when selected.
Andre Venter. Someone described being tackled by him as running into a brick wall.
Neil Back. Dynamite comes in small(ish) packages.
John Jeffrey: the Great White Shark.
Colin Charvis
David Pocock
George Smith
Laurent Cabannes. Wonderful, mobile flank. Played rugby like a Frenchman.
Serge Betsen: Terrific. So much better than the over-rated Chabal.
Francois Pienaar and Siya Kolisi: led SA to three WC wins. Great captains.
POM
Ollivant and Aldrit are pretty damn good too. Ollivant reminds me of the Dalton Bros from the Lucky Luke comics.
Peter Steph du Toit: can watch him in RWC finals every day. Incredible.
4/5
Olivier Roumat. Oustanding French lock.
Itoje: incredible athlete, very intelligent rugby player.
Etzebeth: in a pack of incredible forwards, one of the best.
Botha/Matfield: one of the greatest lock pairings in the modern game
Robin Brooke and Ian Jones: ditto
Martin Johnson
Paul O 'Connell
AWJ
The last three are pretty obvious.
Mark Andrews: athletic SA lock. Incredible line-out jumper, handy in the loose.
John Eales. A bit like Zinzan in that he could do seemingly everything.
1/3
Os du Randt: formidable scrummager, and surprisingly mobile for his size.
Phil Vickery
Taidh Furlong: great player, great character.
Joe Marler: like him as a player, really like him as a person.
2
Sean Fitzpatrick: one of the greatest 2s
Keith Woods: loved watching him play, could be explosive on the run. Was a menace on the field, scrummed, threw impeccably.
Uli Schmidt: an incredibly mobile hooker, before it was expected of hookers. He was before his time.
Phil Kearns
Have at it!
Hey!! I need help finding a fic I stumbled across a few months ago.
I truly don’t remember much from it, other than it being Alex centric and it focusing on his mental health. He angrily tweets something (pretty sure it was just ‘Fuck you’) and then goes MIA. Henry later finds him and David freezing in the car. That’s all I can remember. Sorry if that was stupidly vague lmao
The Holy Ghost “doth not dwell in unholy temples” (Helaman 4:24). He is “offended and withdraws” if we use profanity (Dallin Oaks, “Reverent and Clean,” April 1986 General Conference). He withdraws if we “undertake to cover our sins” (D&C 121:37). He withdraws if we find fault with church leaders (Henry Eyring, “The Power of Sustaining Faith,” April 2019 General Conference). He withdraws if we have unkind feelings toward anyone (Ulisses Soares, “Covenant Confidence Through Jesus Christ,” April 2024 General Conference. He withdraws if we think wrong. As David Bednar explains: “Casualness about or the breaking of covenants and commitments, failing to pray and study the scriptures, and inappropriate thoughts, actions, and language cause the Spirit to withdraw from or to avoid us altogether” (“Receive the Holy Ghost,” October 2010 General Conference). This is just a sampling of quotes. The Mormon Holy Ghost is moody, elitist, and constantly offended. He goes silent at the slightest provocation. When we need him the most—during our darkest hours—he stays away. So, what good is he if we have to be near-perfect to earn his companionship?
Cloud Atlas is a truely unique film. It is a trans-generational odyssey. The film represents how every man is connected from generation to generation through reincarnation and how history repeats itself as social ideals shift through time, from romanticism to modernism and postmodernism and back to premodernism.
In the film, we see different souls reincarnated in different time periods; we see that each soul has its own spiritual identity and spiritual journey. Hugh Grant and Hugo Weaving possess static souls with Grant as a predator and Weaving as an authority figure. Ben Whishaw as a young lover and connecter of all humans who wrote the Cloud Atlas Sextet, a piece inspired by Ewing's adventure that connected the narratives (it was heard by Luisa Rey, by the elders in the Cavendish's nursing home, and sung by the fabricants and played as street music in Neo Seoul). The souls of Frobisher and Jocasta (who briefly loved each other in Edinburgh), met again in the following narrative as Luisa Rey met the record dealer (a reincarnation of Frobisher himself, who played the Sextet to her). Jim Broadbent is a man trapped by his own decisions as he sought to entrap Frobisher but was trapped in the Aurora House, converted from Vyvyan Ayrs' mansion (and Cavendish's own family estate. Interestingly, Cavendish's wife (played by Whishaw) reconciles her love with him at the end of the Ordeal, further showing Whishaw's trait as a lover and as someone who connects everyone. [everything is connected]. The central figures, Tom Hanks and Halle Berry as central figures who change identities over time. Hanks and Barry's journeys are the exact opposite - Hanks start out as a civilized authority figure who visits an uncivilized island and end up as a native on an island while Berry begins as a native and end up as a technologically advanced and civilized outsider visiting Hanks's uncivilized community. Hanks lost his greedy nature to control others and fits into society as the film progresses and Berry rises from the underrepresented lower ranks of society to a higher civilized position. Last but not least. Doona Bae was the chosen one. She was chosen to liberate the people from slavery/oppression. This is first shown when she is willing to participate in the abolition of slavery as Tilda. She later fulfilled her desire in Seoul - however she was born a very unfortunate life as a slave, enduring suffering, allowing her to awaken her soul as a heroic figure and later she became a holy figure.
Most importantly, the stories are connected through their common themes of how individuals take control of individuals, groups take control of groups, organizations take control of organizations, and races take control of races, all using power for the sake of their own benefits. The film is a critique of capitalism, and how the superior people (mainly the bougeoisie) exploit and harm the inferior people (mainly the proletariat). "The weak are meat, the strong do eat". We see the Maori people being enslaved for the sake of Western industrialization and Henry Goose taking advantage of Ewing in order to achieve possession of the treasure chest of gold coins. We see the composer Vyvyan Ayrs tricking Frobisher into working for him only for Ayrs to take full advantage of him and the publishing rights of his Sextet later in the story. We see greedy oil lobbyists attempting to assassinate whistleblowers who were against nuclear power, all for the sake of their own corporation. We see Cavendish threatened by monetary demands and trapped inside his nursing home. We see Sonmi and her fellow clones being exploited as slaves to work for a mass corporation and Zachary's tribe under the threat of the superior Kona tribe. This also relates to social Darwinism, or the fit to survive. Neo Seould also represents the idea of a capitalist totalitarian society in contrast to the Stalinist "communist" and fascist totalitarianism in our history. The stories are also connected in the way how people break free of their boundaries. "All boundaries are conventions". We see characters break through the limitations of racism (in 1849 and 2144 as black Autua and non-pureblood Sonmi escape slavery), homophobia (1936, as Sixsmith reconciled his love with Frobisher after his suicide), sexism (1973, shown in the feminine power of Luisa Rey who strived to become a journalist like her father) ageism (2012, as the elders escape the Aurora House), and war (2144, as Zachary and Meronym escape Earth safely).
The stories are also vividly connected through the film's many small and large facets such as the comet-shaped birthmark on all of the protagonists (the comet is also seen by Zachary's family in the night sky), Vyvyan Ayrs' dream of the dystopian Korean future, how Ayrs' home was converted to the Aurora House, the kiss of Sonmi and Hae-Joo cutting to the kiss of Adam and Tilda, etc.
As it spans through multiple generations, the film (and book) also serves as a homage to literature and cinema as a whole. The first storyline, The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing (1849) is a swashbuckling travelogue (popularized in the romantic 19th century with novels such as Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels) and in terms of film, it resembles the large scale historical epics of the Golden Age of Hollywood (see: Mutiny on the Bounty, Around the World in 80 Days) The second storyline, Letters From Zedelghem (1931) is reminiscent of a Merchant-Ivory romantic opera (A Room with a View, Maurice). Half-Lives: The First Luisa Rey Mystery (1973) pays homage to the noir conspiracy thriller prevalent in the 70s and early 80s such as The Conversation and All the President's Men and its criticism of nuclear warfare is similar to The China Syndrome. The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish encapsulates the modern comedy (Happy Gilmore, The 40 Year Old Virgin, In Bruges). The last two narratives, set in the future, pays homage to science fiction given that An Orison of Sonmi 451 (2144) a dystopian cyberpunk adventure akin to that of Blade Runner, 1984, Logan's Run, and Soylent Green (referenced in the film by Cavendish to show how the fabricants were converted to food) and a post-apocalyptic war fantasy (Children of Man, The Stand).
In closing, Cloud Atlas represents the centerpiece of all narrative cinema as an ambitious project and a rare one-of-a-kind film of Tom Tykwer, David Mitchell, and the Wachowski sisters.
Cloud Atlas is a truely unique film. It is a trans-generational odyssey. The film represents how every man is connected from generation to generation through reincarnation and how history repeats itself as social ideals shift through time, from romanticism to modernism and postmodernism and back to premodernism.

Ben Whishaw as a young lover and connecter of all humans who wrote the Cloud Atlas Sextet, a piece inspired by Ewing's adventure that connected the narratives (it was heard by Luisa Rey, by the elders in the Cavendish's nursing home, and sung by the fabricants and played as street music in Neo Seoul). The souls of Frobisher and Jocasta (who briefly loved each other in Edinburgh), met again in the following narrative as Luisa Rey met the record dealer (a reincarnation of Frobisher himself, who played the Sextet to her). Jim Broadbent is a man trapped by his own decisions as he sought to entrap Frobisher but was trapped in the Aurora House, converted from Vyvyan Ayrs' mansion (and Cavendish's own family estate. Interestingly, Cavendish's wife (played by Whishaw) reconciles her love with him at the end of the Ordeal, further showing Whishaw's trait as a lover and as someone who connects everyone. [everything is connected]. The central figures, Tom Hanks and Halle Berry as central figures who change identities over time. Hanks and Barry's journeys are the exact opposite - Hanks start out as a civilized authority figure who visits an uncivilized island and end up as a native on an island while Berry begins as a native and end up as a technologically advanced and civilized outsider visiting Hanks's uncivilized community. Hanks lost his greedy nature to control others and fits into society as the film progresses and Berry rises from the underrepresented lower ranks of society to a higher civilized position. Last but not least. Doona Bae was the chosen one. She was chosen to liberate the people from slavery/oppression. This is first shown when she is willing to participate in the abolition of slavery as Tilda. She later fulfilled her desire in Seoul - however she was born a very unfortunate life as a slave, enduring suffering, allowing her to awaken her soul as a heroic figure and later she became a holy figure.
Most importantly, the stories are connected through their common themes of how individuals take control of individuals, groups take control of groups, organizations take control of organizations, and races take control of races, all using power for the sake of their own benefits. The film is a critique of capitalism, and how the superior people (mainly the bougeoisie) exploit and harm the inferior people (mainly the proletariat). "The weak are meat, the strong do eat". We see the Maori people being enslaved for the sake of Western industrialization and Henry Goose taking advantage of Ewing in order to achieve possession of the treasure chest of gold coins. We see the composer Vyvyan Ayrs tricking Frobisher into working for him only for Ayrs to take full advantage of him and the publishing rights of his Sextet later in the story. We see greedy oil lobbyists attempting to assassinate whistleblowers who were against nuclear power, all for the sake of their own corporation. We see Cavendish threatened by monetary demands and trapped inside his nursing home. We see Sonmi and her fellow clones being exploited as slaves to work for a mass corporation and Zachary's tribe under the threat of the superior Kona tribe. This also relates to social Darwinism, or the fit to survive. Neo Seould also represents the idea of a capitalist totalitarian society in contrast to the Stalinist "communist" and fascist totalitarianism in our history. The stories are also connected in the way how people break free of their boundaries. "All boundaries are conventions". We see characters break through the limitations of racism (in 1849 and 2144 as black Autua and non-pureblood Sonmi escape slavery), homophobia (1936, as Sixsmith reconciled his love with Frobisher after his suicide), sexism (1973, shown in the feminine power of Luisa Rey who strived to become a journalist like her father) ageism (2012, as the elders escape the Aurora House), and war (2144, as Zachary and Meronym escape Earth safely).
The stories are also vividly connected through the film's many small and large facets such as the comet-shaped birthmark on all of the protagonists (the comet is also seen by Zachary's family in the night sky), Vyvyan Ayrs' dream of the dystopian Korean future, how Ayrs' home was converted to the Aurora House, the kiss of Sonmi and Hae-Joo cutting to the kiss of Adam and Tilda, etc.
As it spans through multiple generations, the film (and book) also serves as a homage to literature and cinema as a whole. The first storyline, The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing (1849) is a swashbuckling travelogue (popularized in the romantic 19th century with novels such as Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver's Travels) and in terms of film, it resembles the large scale historical epics of the Golden Age of Hollywood (see: Mutiny on the Bounty, Around the World in 80 Days) The second storyline, Letters From Zedelghem (1931) is reminiscent of a Merchant-Ivory romantic opera (A Room with a View, Maurice). Half-Lives: The First Luisa Rey Mystery (1973) pays homage to the noir conspiracy thriller prevalent in the 70s and early 80s such as The Conversation and All the President's Men and its criticism of nuclear warfare is similar to The China Syndrome. The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish encapsulates the modern comedy (Happy Gilmore, The 40 Year Old Virgin, In Bruges). The last two narratives, set in the future, pays homage to science fiction given that An Orison of Sonmi 451 (2144) a dystopian cyberpunk adventure akin to that of Blade Runner, 1984, Logan's Run, and Soylent Green (referenced in the film by Cavendish to show how the fabricants were converted to food) and a post-apocalyptic war fantasy (Children of Man, The Stand).
In closing, Cloud Atlas represents the centerpiece of all narrative cinema as an ambitious project and a rare one-of-a-kind film of Tom Tykwer, David Mitchell, and the Wachowski sisters.
