pack of cards

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

30-2. They couldn't, could they?


;-)

no, even with dubious 3rd umpire calls.

41-4!

41-4!

6 more runs required with 6 wickets in hand.

Think there will be a fair few low scores in this tournament. Big hitters are being annulled somewhat.

Players like Steve Smith and Malan may well do well on those types of pitch, rather than the sloggers.

 

[bigstanhibbert]

Good win, did what they had to do. Now come on City!!

Apparently, it's the first time that England have won a T20 international with more than 10 overs to spare. And, conversely, the first time that the WI have lost a T20 international with more than 10 overs to spare.

Our run rate is great now after winning that so convincingly

Sri Lanka just quickly turned their match around.

 

[waspish]

Earlier looked like Sri Lanka were going to get beat easily two good innings turning around to win this! Would been good for England if they got beat though it’s going make qualifying for us Aussies and Sri Lanka very hard.

Wow Shaheen Afridi what a bowler!

Love a bit of Pakistan Cricket. They seem to be the kryptonite of any team on their day.

Chakaravarthy has gone through the whole IPL conceding a maximum of 26 runs.

Pakistan smash him for 33 runs without any of their players having faced him any time recently...

Nathan Lyon about to get his wish...

Why do they play the same song all the time in the stadia?

Must get really annoying if you are actually there.

Which song is it? I can hear the announcers banging on every 2 or 3 minutes geeing up the crowd - sounds like a toddler's birthday party.

Think it’s this. It’s just a generic dance song made for the tournament. It was ok at first, but will become quite annoying by the time the tournament is finished.

Terrible.

Pakistan have started really well. Current Favourites?

They are very good but can be totally unpredictable and could implode at any time

Absolutely. They’ve looked on it so far though, although NZ fighting back a bit now.

I wish they would fuck the annoying PA knobhead off he’s giving me a headache, match is edging to NZ
