Azeem Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 England's first defeat at home chasing since September 2015 Quote
IgnisExcubitor Posted June 4, 2019 Author 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
Administrator Stan Posted June 4, 2019 Administrator Posted June 4, 2019 Sri Lanka started well then collapsed like a house of cards. Perera their saving grace right now. Quote
Azeem Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 Steyn out of the World Cup, shame couldn't see him at the WC one last time Quote

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
Administrator Stan Posted June 4, 2019 Administrator 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
Eco Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Is India winning right now? I see the 'score', but damn that makes no sense to me. Quote

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. Quote

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 5, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 5, 2019 33 minutes ago, Eco said: What's the max amount of wickets you can lose before you give up your right to bat? There are 11 players and if they are all out the innings closes or once 50 overs have been bowled. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 5, 2019 Administrator Posted June 5, 2019 1 hour ago, Eco said: What's the max amount of wickets you can lose before you give up your right to bat? 11 players on a team but 10 wickets lost. 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. Quote

Administrator Stan Posted June 5, 2019 Administrator Posted June 5, 2019 5 minutes ago, Eco said: So the score is 192/7? At the moment, yep. SA have about 4 more overs left to get the highest total they can without losing the rest of their 3 wickets. Quote
Eco Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 And 192 is really low correct? So this is boding well for India? Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 5, 2019 Administrator Posted June 5, 2019 Just now, Eco said: And 192 is really low correct? So this is boding well for India? Yep. 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
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted June 6, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 6, 2019 Was playing a gig last night when the match was going on and got to see some of it towards the end. Glad we won. Quote
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 6, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) The Windies might just be the dark horses in the World Cup, they are whipping through the Aussie batsmen with pace, 72-4 (14.3). Edited June 6, 2019 by CaaC (John) Quote
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted June 6, 2019 Subscriber Posted June 6, 2019 80/5 now with Smith holding the fort, the Windies bowlers should doctor the ball with sandpaper and get Smith out... cough, cough Quote
Azeem Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Now i'm fairly confident that we can beat Australia Quote

Azeem Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 In this day and age missing that with all the technology and stuff is unacceptable Quote

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. Quote
