marcopaulo Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 don't mind the owd T20 myself it's over quick enough and they tend to just smash it http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/9357798.stm England 158-9 (20 ovs) beat Australia 157-4 (20 ovs) by one wicket am i bein really thick or isn't that a win by 1 run?

MikeO Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 am i bein really thick or isn't that a win by 1 run? If the team batting first win then they win by the amount of runs they score more than the opposition did.....if the team batting second wins then they win by however many wickets they have left when they overtake the first team's score.

marcopaulo Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 ahh..why dont they just make it runs would be much simpler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 ahh..why dont they just make it runs would be much simpler Because the team batting second could only ever win by a maximum of six runs, which means you'd never get an idea of how close the game was. Winning by nine or ten wickets is a thrashing but if you only got the runs result you wouldn't know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 We set a new world record of consecutive T20 wins in a row with that victory . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 makes sense i guess mike...wouldn't think it mattered that much as long as you win though..not like there's a league table with goal difference is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) makes sense i guess mike...wouldn't think it mattered that much as long as you win though..not like there's a league table with goal difference is there? Well in the World Cup's you are put into groups and that sort of thing comes into play then. I imagine it comes into play with the ICC rankings too, but I have no idea if that is actually the case.
