Cricket: T20 World Cup

[ScarfaceClaw]

Scotland making this look easy.

Black Craps are BACK!!

It was good while it lasted.

[Insane_Homer]

6,6, wide, wicket. this game has it all!

[Thor Sedan]

Oh shame - Sodhi serves up a pie and gets a wicket.

[Paddington Bear]

John Blain on TMS - a real blast from the past. Remember watching him at Northampton a number of times.

A wicket near-maiden eases the heebie-jeebies a little.

Milne is back to give it the heebee-jeebees again. Six hooked into the stands.

I mean he is being carted around by an associate team - does anyone wonder why he doesn't get the 'props' many believe he deserves. Being fast isn't enough.

[Thor Sedan]

NZ should....SHOULD.....win it from here. But it has been an awful performance.

Guppy has basically won this himself!

[convoluted]

Should be safe now.

[Insane_Homer]

Full marks to Scotland for taking this to the final over

[Thor Sedan]

Oh lord.....Milne to bowl the last.

[Thor Sedan]

Wow - that was awful from NZ.

No way they are winning this tournament. Afghanistan are looking at this performance and fancy their chances of finishing 2nd in the group.

NZ have gone completely off the boil.

If nothing else, it’s fecked our net run rate.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Afghanistan win the toss and will bowl first. I want a close match with an Afghan win and then completely bottle it against The Crappers.

[Thor Sedan]

A game I can enjoy after the NZ v Scotland annoy-fest.

CARN Afghanistan!!!

[convoluted]

Afghanis in their anthem lineup all so very sharp-nosed.
Quite a striking look.

[Thor Sedan]

Oh no.....I've just realized. For NZ to have a better chance of going through to the semis - then India need to win this match.

That is disappointing.

[convoluted]

^^^ When Williamson and Conway mustered just one run between them I realised that if we lost and then Afghanistan beat India we would be out on run rate alone.

[Biffer]

Pleased with that performance from Scotland. Proves our right to be there as much as anything else. Hope we can get a couple more good performances in over the last two games.

[Insane_Homer]

Ind 135/0 after 14. This could get big.

[Thor Sedan]

Ind 135/0 after 14. This could get big.

Two good overs, 2 wickets (both the set batters) and the score stalls.

Think India might be disappointed by their final score. They were on for a 200.

[Insane_Homer]

175/2 with 12 balls to go...

25 from 12 is doable.

[Insane_Homer]

big 19th over, 19 from it.

194/2 6 balls to go.

[Thor Sedan]

So yeah.....I got that wrong.

If Bangladesh get out cheaply.....how badly will it affect their NRR?

[Lobby]

Afghanistan, not Bangladesh.

Their NRR from their first three games is 3.097, thanks to their substantial win over Scotland, which could prove useful if they can't get close to India's total.

Apparently, Afghanistan will need to score at least 91 runs to stay above NZ on NRR. As they are now 13/2, that looks like it might be difficult for them.

I don't like this feeling where I am kind of rooting for India for purely selfish reasons.

I feel dirty.

[convoluted]

Yep. India doing us a massive favour thus far.

[Thor Sedan]

Oh boy....Afghanistan not going quietly.

Vokken sure you are dirty!

[Enzedder]

Afghanistan no show in this. All on for that game against the Crappers.

The loss of Ferguson is going to be too big a hurdle even if we go thru though. Milner is simply too expensive

Not only wrong code, but completely the wrong century.

[convoluted]

Having safely negotiated Afghanistan, which we have yet to do, India's run rate at the end of this game will be interesting.
They could well thrash Scotland.

They attack everyone's bowling.

Good call re the non-catch

Afghanistan's NRR reduced to 1.481, so still above NZ for the time being.
