[Cricket] T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia

[amexer]

What a finish. Pressure got to bowler

 

[Steve in Japan]

Great game I thought. Risky tactics by Babar which ultimately didn't work. But close. There's a long way to go, though, nobody's won anything yet.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Sri Lanka doing not too badly against the Aussies. Put into bat, 119 for 5 with 3 overs to go. Doesn't feel enough but you never know.

 

[Steve in Japan]

157 for 6 off 20 overs. Something to bowl at.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Aus need 51 off 36, 3 down.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Make that 32 off if 30.

 

[Audax]

157 for 6 off 20 overs. Something to bowl at.

Aussie batting line up looks fragile.

Finch massively out of form. On the flipside, they still have guys in the line up who can single-handedly win matches with the bat (Warner, Maxwell, Stoinis) when they fire. But they'll be in big trouble in any matches where none of them fire.

Will we beat the Irish tomorrow?

Finch swinging like a rusty gate. 31 and he was there for the whole Innings! Stoinis the difference between the 2 teams, but overall Aus are not a convincing proposition. I'm not getting up early tomorrow for Oireland.

We’ll be lucky to see a game according to the weather

 

[indy3050]

The English bowlers having a tough time against plucky Ireland, who have reached 103-1 in the 11th over. As I type, WICKET for Rashid! 103-2, 12 overs in.

 

[indy3050]

Next ball (actually 2 balls later) Wood strikes! 103-3!

 

[indy3050]

150-7, 18 overs in.

 

[Springal]

Wish I’d never turned this on…

 

[Mellotron]

Struggling a bit here, aren’t we?

 

[jakarta]

Stokes massively out of form - dropped for next game?

Stokes massively out of form - dropped for next game?

Picked on reputation, hasn't played much T20 or T20i cricket and yet to make 500 runs in the latter format. I'd give somebody else a go next time.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Bang average England in strife here, more rain.

 

[Scappa]

Hmm. Australian umpire calls on the covers just as Moeen gets England within one hit of being ahead on DLS

Tbf, we should not be in this position. Ireland have been great, but England should be beating teams........
