[Cricket] T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia

[A1X]

Ordinarily in a bi-lateral series I would expect England to be massively overwhelming favourite against Sri Lanka, especially outside the subcontinent, but what is in effect a knockout game can play tricks

 

[Is it PotG?]

Sri Lanka win the toss and have a bat.

 

[knocky1]

Almost a quarter final. Except a tie will not give a super over. Come on Lads.

 

[CHAPPERS]

uh oh

 

[CHAPPERS]

What a catch

 

[knocky1]

Losing to Sri Lanka is bad, getting smashed so early is awful, Australia qualifying if we lose is unthinkable depression.
Great tension. Thanks Livingstone. Great catch.

Couldn’t agree more. We haven’t started this well at all.

 

[Springal]

Loads of empty seats at a World Cup game on a Saturday night ?

 

[bhafc99]

Bollocks. Literally for Malan. Looks like that’s him done for the tournament.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Malan crocked

 

[zefarelly]

We needed that wicket!

 

[Mackenzie]

Well bowled England

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

With regards to this run rate business, what do we need to do (apart from win) to qualify?

 

[zefarelly]

I've no idea how the RR works, but winning is enough Shirley? We're ahead of Aus already

Yes, Win and we're through

 

[zefarelly]

We're doing our best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

It's the English way

 

[A1X]

Properly dumb batting by some, not least Moeen as a senior player. Too close for comfort this. If Stokes falls we’re screwed.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Well this is unnecessarily tense.

14 off of 14 needed after getting 1 from 4


Grr

 

[bhafc99]

Oh come on England, FFS. We’re making SUCH hard work of this.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Jesus wept.

I don't care much for t20 but I do care for Australia being unhappy.

Get a grip lads.
