[Cricket] T20 World Cup

[Official Old Man]

Agers has just anounced "FAKHAR'S OK"
I'm in tears.

Cummins and Starc almost unhittable in the 19th and 20th (so far). I'm feeling a little envious.

And then balls 4 and 5 go for 6!

Almost.....

Not sure why Hafeez decided not to go for the second run at the end there (unless rhey've changed the rules on a tie to take account of wickets lost, which would be a stupid idea anyway). Didn't Morgan cold shoulder Malan for about 6months for doing that even though he'd scored a hundred in a win?

Hopefully won't have Warner polluting my TV for long in the reply.



Unless he takes over 30 balls to get into double figures and then gets out in a stupid run out, something like that would be fine.

Great innings from the dangerous Fakhar

55 from 32 balls, 3 fours and 4 sixes

Could make all the difference.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Good start

 

[Mackenzie]

Haha

Convicts 1-1

In the event of a tie then it's super overs until there's a winner.

Personally, if a team reaches the final ball of an innings it should with end with a dismissal or a boundary, just keep running until you're run-out, make the opposition run you out.

Oh good. Probably. Can't think of a better alternative.

That's not a personal opinion, it's one of the basics of the game (as said before, unless the playing conditions place a value on wickets lost for some reason). It's the inverse of how the fielding team shouldn't throw down the stumps willy nilly at the end of the innings, because you're more likely to give away overthrows than save one run (a lesson the u14s team I played in learnt the hard way, I once stood at deep cover watching while the opposition ran about 3 separate overthrows of a single ball, and the coach shouted at people to stop throwing the ball ).

Is this the same Australia that we thrashed? Incredible really.

Think you’ve jinxed this one so far!

I went to that game, and we absolutely slaughtered the Aussies. Humiliated them. Said at the time that England risked peaking too soon…

But there goes Warner, so Pakistan coming back into this!

Good recovery!

Haha, Mr Sandpaper never touched it.

Not even close. Ha ha

Start the car...

 

[Pevenseagull]

Well this is tense ...

 

[Audax]

22 off 12.

Very similar as yesterday, however Aussies can't afford a wicket really. Would argue Pakistan have better bowling option for this over as well.
