Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted October 23, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted October 23, 2022 Super game that. If not for the wide and no-ball things could have ended very differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,378 Posted October 23, 2022 Administrator Share Posted October 23, 2022 Unbelievable game. Credit to both sides for producing and creating that kind of drama. Sensational match. Topsy turvy. Pakistan lose their openers. Recover, post a decent total. India collapse to begin. Kohli produces one of his finest innings. Then how do you even explain that last over or two Madness. I can breathe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted October 23, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted October 23, 2022 Tough luck @Beelzebub Pakistan did so well at the start of the second innings but Virat just had too much for them in the end. He ruined Rauf's over and then it was all downhill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted October 23, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted October 23, 2022 And now the discussion on whether it was a dead ball on the free hit is doing the rounds. I think the law of the game says it is a dead ball if it hits the stumps and no if it's a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Good game. Rauf should've tried yorkers against Kohli. I think both teams will make it out of the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizwan should have taken out the stump straight away but must be hard to think so quickly like that about a rule that doesn't happen so often. I hope the game is remembered as a spectacle on the whole, and the dramatic finish, not just for that moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Runs were fine but height no ball was questionable. Kohli coming two steps forward needs to be taken into account and it was the front umpire who gave it not the leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Shaheen has changed his run up and slowered his pace after the injury. If this a long term thing then he may not be as effective as before. Shows you how unforgiving fast bowling can be, one injury and you may be done for.

Lucas 3,827 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Why on earth did we run a tournament in a tinpot country like Australia? Can hardly supply a match, let alone a full one. What kind of hosts are they? This rate, we might as well play out the tournament on Brian Lara Cricket on the Playstation and have some real fun. Shotgun Sri Lanka.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I loved Brian Lara Cricket. I did a hack in that game by moving the fielder away from the stumps making the batsmen run but would then throw to get run outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Chased 92 against Netherlands in the 14th over without hitting a six. This leadership and management needs to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess teams are finding their feet and some of the smaller nations (Ireland, Zimbabwe, SL, Netherlands) have tested batsman/bowlers more than expected.

Babar, Rizwan and Shan Masood all play the role of an anchor they needed to send some hard hitter up the order when you know run rate is going to decide things if you have a chance of progressing.

Administrator Stan 18,378 Posted November 1, 2022 Administrator Share Posted November 1, 2022 Group has set up very nicely! Final group games Ireland vs New Zealand Australia vs Afghanistan Sri Lanka vs England Ireland and Afghanistan can't qualify. Sri Lanka need to beat England and hope one of Aus/NZ lose.

Gunnersaurus 200 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I'll try and watch the final if England get there. Not personally keen on any batting sports but t20 is maybe the best one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
