IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 The tournament was threatening to be shite until the last two matches. I still don't like the format. Add teams like Ireland, Zim, etc and make smaller groups and then Quarters, Semis and Final. That is hell more entertaining. Great performance by Bangladesh and an unsurprising comeback from Pakistan, who truly are a weird side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the little stint at RCB in IPL, in hindsight, wasn't the best decision? But I guess he wanted some match practice. He's a big miss because of his talent but SA have Rabada and Ngidi who can be the next fast bowling stars (if not already). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted June 4, 2019 Administrator Share Posted June 4, 2019 Ah gutted for Afghanistan. Thought they'd be good for the win with bit of confidence. Malinga too good for them at the death. Had Najibullah stayed in longer it might have been closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really winning at the moment because they haven't batted yet. South Africa aren't in a great position though having lost 4 wickets after just 22 overs.

There are 11 players and if they are all out the innings closes or once 50 overs have been bowled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you don't lose all your wickets, it's important to 'bat out' all your overs just to make the most of them, in this One-Day International format it's 50 overs.

They've upped the ante a bit though as they're now 224-8 in the final over. Equates to about 4.5 runs an over. So for India to win, they'd have to hit more than 4.5 runs an over and reach the total SA have set. Most decent sides these days get towards 300-350 runs. Having said that, weather conditions and pitch conditions play a big part even in one-day games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's so much technology for everything else and it's not like the cameras aren't in place to spot it. It happens for a wicket so why can't it happen for a normal ball in an over.
