Afghanistan need 4 sixes can’t see it

The coverage is shit. There was complete confusion (in my living room at least) as to what happened if the super over was tied (which it was). Then they missed a 6 and only showed 5 balls bowled rather than the 6 that were actually bowled? Rubbish coverage. Great great game though

this match is mad!

 

[BringBackSwales]

What a finish

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Wow. Game of the tournament right there.

 

[meeesh]

That was superb

Never seen a game go into a second super over.

Closest I've seen is England-New Zealand in the world cup final

Looks like this be a stroll for Australia

Yeah too many dropped catches again and didn't bowl smartly enough. Will be about 40 runs too many for Ireland.

Let's hope and England win isn't in anyway similar to how South Africa just did it .. :)

Shite start from Archer but good recovery

Nah; England vs Nepal, clearly.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Why did he give Jacks a second over? Just use the other 5 bowlers

 

[supercity88]

Need to break this partnership but I think anything around 170-180 we'd be okay with. Ball is flying to the boundary.

The bloody shouting between deliveries is even more annoying than a bleedin drum at a football match

 

[supercity88]

Huge over for Archer this.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Huge over for Archer this.

All he can do is bowl fast. He doesn’t have a cricketing brain.

 

[BringBackSwales]

I fear for us; with our irresponsible batting this will be a huge target

It’ll go one of two ways. We’ll chase it inside 13 overs or lose by 100 runs.

It’s a decent wicket, so I don’t think they’ve got an unobtainable score.

Nope not unobtainable and tbf I don’t rate Overton but he’s done well today (6 off last ball, jinxed it). I do think our batting is irresponsible and unintelligent. Not good at pacing an innings
