Cricket: T20 World Cup

[FalseBayFC]

Supporting the Bangladeshis here. They have beating the Aussies once in a T20 WC. They're a real shit shower this time though.

[FalseBayFC]

There goes our NRR advantage

[Thor Sedan]

Well I don't think this is going to be a long match.

[Paddington Bear]

Getting ugly

I'll admin I'm not a follower of Bangladesh, what would you say are the reasons for the decline?

[Thor Sedan]

Wooooo-boy......this isn't going well.

Well they've always been a minnow but have showed the potential to become a cricketing power. They have a population of 165 million cricket fanatics so they'll eventually get there. But they've flattered to deceive over the last couple of years.

They managed wins over both Australia and New Zealand just a few months ago (in Bangladesh), and should have done better than they have in this tournament. They also lost to Ireland just before the World Cup began, and were also beaten by Scotland in the qualifying rounds. They've been rubbish, and appear to have largely given up even trying now.

73 all out, Zampa with 5.

Aus will be looking to knock this off in under 10 overs to get the netRR up up and away.

[Insane_Homer]

Done in 6.2 overs. bye bye SA.

scrape this in 19.4 overs and then lose out on net run rate is the Saffa was of doing it this properly

Yeah that was nagging at me too while we were going at 6 an over. Anyhoo. We now need to smash England and hope that the Windies show a bit of spine against Aus. I suspect they might be in party mode by now though. Poolside with martinis and Russian models in bikinis.

Hoping against hope here, but if 1 or 2 Windies comes of, they have a great chance of winning against Aus.

Pollard, Russell, Hetmayer, Gayle they've got plenty of big guns.

[Thor Sedan]

Yeah - the Windies can't really be arsed with this can they.

The concerning thing for WI cricket - is that they don't seem to have much in the way of youth coming through.

At least we might see the Windies go after a big total - could be some fun fireworks.

Yep done en dusted.

[Insane_Homer]

16/2 bye bye Windies

[Thor Sedan]

16/2 bye bye Windies

I just want to see one old fashion West Indian bash fest.....a good 60 off 25.

[Thor Sedan]

Wooohweeeee that was a good catch!

[Thor Sedan]

Yuuuuuge banana peel match for the BC's....wish they had won the toss.

[Ymx]

It’s going to be hot in the field by the sounds.

[Gumboot]

Yep, nervous about this one.

[Ymx]

Guppy gone

[Thor Sedan]

Oh sweet baby Jesus.......

[Ymx]

Not a great innings here.

Only 61 and halfway

[OomStruisbaai]

Cricket in Namibia is only Windhoek clubs. Wanderers club was strong back in the day

[Ymx]

Innings waking up now
77 after 11

[OomStruisbaai]

Loftie Eaton Paarl Boishaai like Dawid Malan.

[OomStruisbaai]

Namibia need a wicket.

[OomStruisbaai]

Namibia need a wicket.

That's mine. Big one.

Yes, for about 4 or 5 overs Williamson and Conway had been accumulating rather than T-20ing.
Endless string of singles.
Probably sensible, but ...

[Gumboot]

Slowed to a crawl now. Had no idea T20 could be so boring.

[OomStruisbaai]

Gone. Looking good for Suidwes

[convoluted]

ummm ... accumulating with minimal risk now looking to have been a good tactic

[Insane_Homer]

Namibia turning the screws here

[OomStruisbaai]

Erasmus x Matie the youngest player (16) to debut for Namibia. Dad is president of their cricket board

[convoluted]

And after India we had mentally skipped ahead to Afghanistan.

[OomStruisbaai]

Wiese back in attack

[convoluted]

Slowed to a crawl now. Had no idea T20 could be so boring.

I'm kinda hoping it ends up as a big bore for NZers.

Let us pray that it eventuates into a boring game.

[Thor Sedan]

Why has Devon Conway gone into his shell in terms of batting?

[Gumboot]

It'll be interesting to see if Nambia also struggle with the pitch and mistiming their shots.

Not taking anything away from their excellent bowling and fielding, mind.
