Cricket: T20 World Cup

[Sandstorm]

Basically knocked out by the lack of interest from the West Indies.

No. Overs 18 & 20 from Pretorius against Australia were garbage. Lost by 1 run.

[OomStruisbaai]

Proteas will beat England but Australia will go through on NRR.

That's the way we go in cricket WCs

This.

England will win it from here.

Pakistan will make mincemeat of them.

F**k off.

[Gumboot]

NZ vs Afghanistan about to kick off. Afghanistan won the toss and will bat.

[Ymx]

Gotta take this one.

Go the craps.

[Ymx]

Not the best opening ball from Southee

[ScarfaceClaw]

Milne getting hit for four. Gasp. Say it isn’t so.

[Gumboot]

So if we win this, it knocks India out of the comp? We don't even need to play them to beat them now? Cool.

We’ve played them and beaten them already. They’re our bunnies these days.

[Kiwias]

Afghans now 19 - 3 in the 6th over.

[Kiwias]

Not the best opening ball from Southee

He has made up for it now

Regardless of the format.

[Ymx]

Afghans not giving up, and could get a decent total at this rate

[Ymx]

I mockered them

[Ymx]

Great finish for the craps there to keep the score low of the last few overs.

[Kiwias]

I mockered them

You did well, lad. Some tight bowling at the death, surprisingly so from Neesham.

[Ymx]

That was a soft dismissal of Mitchell. A nothing shot

[ScarfaceClaw]

Guppy gives it the wild swing and misses.

[Ymx]

The craps are never comfortable to watch are they?

[Kiwias]

The easier the target, the harder they struggle

[ScarfaceClaw]

We’re making fecking hard work of this.

[Paddington Bear]

Air India can start routing 747s to Abu Dhabi I’d say, they’ll be needed soon

[Ymx]

Strange bowling.

2 4’s to same sweep

[Ymx]

Wish that idiot in the crowd would pipe down

[ScarfaceClaw]

Conway seems determined to chip a one handed sweep to any nearby fielder but can’t make decent enough contact.

[Ymx]

Can we relax now?

[ScarfaceClaw]

Can we relax now?

We’ve not reached the target so no.

[Ymx]

Indeed.

[ScarfaceClaw]

It’s a tie now. I can relax a little. And there we go. Phew.

[Ymx]

1 run boys.

I’m going to say we can do it !!

Screw you mockers

[Ymx]

And there it is. All done

[Cartman]

Trent boult well, gets MoM

[Thor Sedan]

Well timed chase.

Not sure why Afghanistan didn't get Rashid in bowling in the power play. Reckon he would have nabbed a couple and made NZ chase a bit harder.

So Aussie v Pakistan and England v NZ.

That Aussie v Pakistan match is going to be an absolute belter.

[JM2K6]

So will England v NZ. There's plenty of classy batsmen in the Kiwi side who will lick their lips at facing what remains of the English bowling attack. I've not seen enough of NZ in this tournament to know how they've been getting on with the ball themselves, but losing Roy is a big blow.

Assuming Pak haven't been to the bookies and lose to Sco........

The key bowlers are all in pretty good form -- Southee, Boult, and Ish Sodhi. Santner and Milne are not as consistent while Neesham is a great pie-chucker.

Which game is on which day?

Think it’s wed and Thursday

Think it’s wed and Thursday

The England vs NZ semi is on Wednesday and Aus vs Pakistan one on Thursday, both starting at 3AM NZ-time if my read of the table is accurate.
