[Cricket] ICC Cricket World Cup 2023- Final- India v Australia

[Pogue Mahone]

India 61-0 off 5 overs!

They've scored about 100 more in the next 23 overs.

I got out of bed to watch after seeing your post. A lot more placid than I expected.

326-5 after 50. Kohli gets his 49th ODI Century. A big total but if the Cock doesn't go cheaply then the Saffers could do it.

The home crowd won't let that happen, India have a huge advantage here, Kohli and his genius have lifted them...SA have a battling second monkey to get off their back here if they are to do this, they won't roll over even if they are both through but it will be interesting to watch, I agree de Kock might be the make or break here...

Oh bugger, that could be the game already, the Cock goes very early doors... RSA 6-1

I know we're technically still in with a chance but why doesn't he get it done now?

One assumes he’s not hanging around for the remainder. Not seen anything about this.

 

[jakarta]

40-4 after 13 overs, game gone. Saffers will hope they played their one crap game of the Tournament.

SL vs Bangladesh, the Lankans batting first. 66-2 after 11.

 

[jakarta]

72-3, slowly getting through them.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Matthews has just been timed out!

 

[jakarta]

279 all out, Bangladesh with work to do.

Matthews has just been timed out!

Doesn't seem right.

Doesn't seem right.

It was a poor appeal IMO. He was ready to face and let down by his equipment.

We have all been there...

 

[jakarta]

Bangas have just lost their two set batsmen, 211-4 after 33, too little too late?

 

[Questions]

The Bangla boys can do this.

 

[jakarta]

With regards to your loss of helmet, why don't you toss the duff one to the keeper and bat the rest of the over bare headed? It is not as if you are facing Holding & Marshall etc..

 

[jakarta]

239-4

Less than 3 runs an over needed, don't know where this leaves England...

Playing Netherlands to decide who comes bottom?

From what I've just read, I don't think Bangladesh were even required to "appeal" as such. The rule in the rule book is clear, and doesn't include allowances for broken equipment. Mathews was already pretty much timed out before the strap broke in the first place, so he'd taken his sweet time about getting out there.

Clause 31.1 in both the MCC laws of the game and the World Cup Playing Conditions states that neither umpire shall give a batter out unless appealed by a fielder.
I don't have a huge amount of sympathy. As you say, he could and should have been at the crease well before it became an issue.
