[Cricket] T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia

[Eeyore]

NZ 59 for 3 at the halfway point. Slow going, doesn't feel like anywhere near enough. Pakistan have been very good in the field.

Which is unusual for them.

Pakistan prove the absurdity of the white ball game at times. They have a habit of playing rubbish and winning things.

 

[knocky1]

It's between us and the Indian sub Continent for the Trophy now. Hope we play the semi the way Pakistan did.

It is strange. Cricket came to NL before football so I'm guessing that has something to do with it. For some reason, unlike Italy and other European countries, it stuck here.

The NL always produced some decent local cricketers to supplement the imports. That's a healthy sign. I should imagine Andre Van Troost terrorising teams in Europe. Not the most reliable of county bowlers, although as quick as a flash.

 

[Is it PotG?]

England won the toss and decided to field.

Unlike most other venues, the team winning the toss seems to have no advantage at the Adelaide Oval. In fact, in 11 matches that have taken place at this venue, the side winning the toss has lost all of them.

Malan and Wood OUT.

That is an incredible statistical fact. I have to boost my confidence by remembering that the toss winner generally has a slight advantage...

1 down, now let's get Kohli cheaply

 

[Audax]

England bowlers keeping things tight, but if India retain wickets-in-hand watch for an explosive back end to the India innings...

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Why is the commentary dominated by Indians celebrating everything Indian.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Surrey's Chris Jordan coming on a bit early. Hmm.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

England get a wicket, Indian commentator, silence

Cos we've got Nasser and Atherton. Our cheerleader Bumble got the boot.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Like yesterday, India are short of runs after 10 overs. 62 for 2. Looking good for England at this stage.

You're right, those two are almost apologists when we do well

 

[Simster]

That f***ing Indian commentator. So biased. Batsmen gets a top edge and the ball flies over fine leg for 6 and apparantly it's a beautiful shot, full of control. What a cock.

 

[A1X]

Huge wicket that

 

[Simster]

Haha, lovely stuff Rashid!

 

[Steve in Japan]

Yadav gone for not many, that could be the game there.

 

[Pevenseagull]

BOOM!

Great stuff. England strong favourites with exchanges now.
