Cricket 2024

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Bairstow is finished he is a liability in the field and can’t hit the ball anymore.

between the England game last night, Bears this afternoon and now this its a proper shit weekend

 

[Mcbean]

As usual the Aussies turn up to beat England

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Watching SA v Bangladesh low scoring game just think Bangladesh might win because South Africa are sloppy in the field giving away unnecessary runs.

Distinct 1999 vibes from this England side. At least the ECB got a popcorn sponsor for a format nobody else will play

 

[Mcbean]

Watching Bangladesh now - very close

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Great game last but one ball needed another 6 inches on that shot.The difference between success and failure.

The rule which ruled out that 4 byes is a bit of a strange one

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

England started well Oman 25-5 in 7th over.When we bat need to knock the runs off quickly.

 

[Mcbean]

All out 47 - need Butler to get them within 4 overs

 

[chiefdave]

we're in with a chance of winning this one!

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

First part done got them out for 47.Got to get the runs in 32 balls to put the run rate right.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

2 sixes and out

 

[chiefdave]

'what a game we've had', bit of a stretch

 

[chiefdave]

the collapse is on

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Jacks gone now

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Won in 3overs an 1 ball

 

[chiefdave]

I need someone to work out run rate scenarios, too complicated for me. Think I'm right in saying we could have a scenario where Australia can knock England out by beating Scotland but taking their time.

England now have a superior NRR than Scotland so that is off the table I think.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Australia lose to Scotland and we would be out.I think there will be some questions if that happened.

The Aussies are not past a bit betting on the side

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We still have to beat Namibia

 

[fatso]

We still have to beat Namibia

If we don't beat Namibia we don't deserve to be anywhere near a cricket ground.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

So good to see the wizard back for the Bears tonight.

 

[chiefdave]

England have to win and it's pissing down. Covers on and toss delayed (according to ESPN, BBC saying no delay). Forecast not looking great

Got to be some questions asked of the ICC about scheduling. Who holds the World Cup in rain & hurricane season? Not a single game has been completed in Florida which isn't going to do much for the big push into the US market

 

[Macca]

What a ridiculous situation when you can only get to play 2/4 games and get knocked out

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Raining heavy there now.Need to start in less than 3 hour to have any sort of game ie 5 overs if they start at 9;45.

I think we are done for

 

[Johnnythespider]

I think we are done for

Even if England gets a win the Scottish game will probably be rained off giving them a point

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

If no rain between now and 9pm our time they will start an 11 over game with 3 overs powerplay and 3 overs per bowler.Still very cloudy there but not raining.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Only 1 run in first over things can only get better.Second ball second over 2 for1 Butler gone.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Going from bad to worse 13 for2 Salt gone. No one else watching.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Nervy. Namibia started really well

 

[chiefdave]

Think Namibia will be happy if they can keep England to around 110 - 120

Nothing to lose for them they can go for it all guns blazing

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

82-3 8 overs rain.
