[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[Pevenseagull]

Just as I was about to write off Amla he plays a few shots.

SA not impressive

 

[jakarta]

Well that was like watching England at the last World Cup, at 241 the Saffers are on their way home unless someone e.g. Tahir has one of those days he is unplayable. Even so he'll only get 10 of the 49...

 

[jakarta]

No-one else interested I see? New Zealanders taking a bit of a breather, required run rate is laughable 5.15 so no doubt they will kick on again shortly.

 

[Pevenseagull]

...New Zealand managing to make this unnecessarily interesting.

3 down and not looking comfortable

 

[Pevenseagull]

5 minutes ago I was deliberating over putting a little bet on South Africa to win at 7/2

They're now favourites. (Didn't put the bet on)

4 down

 

[Badger]

Guptill treading on his stumps seems to have been the turning point.

Make that 4 down, what on Earth are they playing at?

 

[Pevenseagull]

I bloody hate that dance tune they keep playing

 

[jakarta]

Tahir done and dusted, did well but run rate is still doable with these pair at the crease. 185-5 after 40

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

David Miller obviously doesn’t fancy a massive Semi

 

[jakarta]

Finally a tense finish!

 

[jakarta]

Williamson hits the winning runs, should have put a tenner on New Zealand a couple of weeks ago, still might do so...

 

[Raphael Meade]

Great finish!

Today's game Convicts vs. Bangladesh at Trent Bridge.

Australia win toss and will BAT.

Go Bangas!

 

[Pevenseagull]

(dirty) Warner looked a bit out of sorts at the start of the innings.

(just got to 150)

horrible scenes

 

[Pevenseagull]

.....and then when Warner finally goes they put Maxwell in and he appears to be in marmalising mode.

 

[Pevenseagull]

going into the last few overs ... Bangladesh slow Australia up a bit in the nicest possible way

352/3
353/4
354/5

...which was nice

 

[jakarta]

Have not been listening to TMS on a consistent basis - did Smith and Warner get appropriate welcomes?

no way near enough for my liking

MASSIVE cheers when it looked like Warner got hit it the nuts though.

Looks like another 49 over match?
