Cricket: T20 World Cup

[FalseBayFC]

Namibia looking good to upset the Netherlands.

Roelof van der Merwe playing for Ned and David Wiese playing for Nam.

Rattling rollercoaster to end Eng-NZ warmup.
Situation absolutely hopeless with NZ 9 down and miles short, but Sodhi's expression from the start was one of "I'm serious about going for the impossible."

[Insane_Homer]

SL 9/3 and it's not even the end of the second over. deep the shit early on against Ireland.

[handyman]

Pakistan 32/1 after 5 overs.

Rabada with the wicket.

Gotta laugh. The Lankans among those who wanted to kill off Tests to focus on pyjama stuff and they are sh*t at it.

Thank you mockers

[Paddington Bear]

Sri Lanka recovering courtesy of the Irish spinner offering throwdowns

[FalseBayFC]

Fakhar Zaman! Best name in cricket.

[Thor Sedan]

Meh - I don't think NZ are going to do much in this tourney.

[Torquemada 1420]

Fakhar Zaman! Best name in cricket.

He's killing SA.

{EDIT} And chooses to have a rest?

Jeez. Fortuin!

Afghanistan could be on course to smesh West Indies. 190 to win and West Indies lose a wicket with the second delivery.

What would be the bigger upset:

Scotland beating Bangladesh or Afghanistan beating the West Indies?

[convoluted]

Way back in the day (1968?) Ireland beat the West Indies (Sobers and all) in a one-dayer, with speculation the Windies were spiked by either the whiskey or the Colleens.

Sion Mills.
Story I’ve always heard is that the night before the match the Windies were introduced to the Ireland team who took them on the mother of all pub crawls. Windies arrive at the ground the next day to find an entirely different Ireland XI warming up. May be apocryphal

147 of 65 balls. Windies are toast.

Like all these things, they get some gilding over time. It was '69 and the Windies flew out to the game immediately having played Eng at Lords. By the time they got to Ireland, their hotel had no restaurant open and they were knackered. They did not field a 1st team. It was still arguably the greatest upset in the game: certainly then.

[Torquemada 1420]

Simply o/s bowling performance from SL. Struggling to think of a single bad ball.

[FalseBayFC]

Quite a finish going in the Pak-RSA game. Rassie in good nick.

[FalseBayFC]

100 for Rassie off the last ball.

[OomStruisbaai]

Rassie do it again

[Torquemada 1420]

Quite a finish going in the Pak-RSA game. Rassie in good nick.

Garbage death bowling by the Pakis. Usual clueless, ill disciplined stuff.

The speculation I referred to came at the time, though was probably a light-hearted explanation for the unthinkable.

I recall another cataclysmic result: maybe 1964 Holland beat Bobby Simpsons Aussies in what must have been one of the very first international one-day games ... the vagaries of abbreviated cricket.

Wet ball is going to play an important role in this matches.

Credit Rassie tho, he always look more like a test batter but tonk it tonight.

[handyman]

Match winning innings. Agtermekaar krieketspeler, kop reg aangeskroef. We need more of him.

3 weekend games, awesome.

[Thor Sedan]

Well - Jade Dernbach just helped Italy grab a win over Germany.

Germany needed 14 off the last over bowled by Jadey lad.....and he managed to only ship 12 runs. Funny where folk end up.

So Proteas will go into Game 4 with two losses, 1 win and that match against some in-form minnow will be Must Win.

At least the chance of us being screwed by the rain is low this tournament.

I'm setting myself up massively again for a fall here. Cannot help but get invested.

Will PNG overhaul the defeat margin of Windies losing to Pak in 2017/18?

I am positive. T20 you cant tell and at least we have decent spin. Lets get in the business end first

Maybe you should just shout for India or some other team that are favourites

[Torquemada 1420]

Shambles. Ball in front: batsman's call.

Relax, son. We'll all support the Chokers....I mean Proteas until the bitter end. We always do.

No way SA are losing against that West Indies team. And I wouldn't put Australia as favourites against them either.
