Even more enjoyable was seeing the looks on their players faces as it happened. Total shellshock . Loved it myself, can’t stand the aus cricket team ( men’s and women’s ) as they are incredibly arrogant/entitled. Both my parents where born in NZ so I happily follow them as they just play the game how it should be played.

Formby Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 1 hour ago, MikeO said: They have, does anyone know why Asghar Afghan is retiring after today's game against Namibia? Seems a bit odd to stand down mid-way through a tournament This is all I could find - certainly odd timing... ...during the innings break, a tearful Afghan said, ““I want to give chance to youngsters. I think this is a good opportunity for that. Most people are asking me why now but it’s something I cannot explain. In the last match, we were hurt too much, and that’s why I decided to retire.” MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoys me that me media seem to always focus on Kohli/Smith being the two best batsmen but Kane Williamson ( Joe Root for you lot ) are in the same bracket as them and hardly get a mention. Might be an Aussie media thing though. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 England will have to fall off a cliff to avoid winnng this (always a possibilty); if they screw up Pakistan most likely winners, possibly NZ have a shout if all goes well. Can't see anyone outside of those three. Formby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 It looks like Sri Lanka will get the win at the moment. If only Buttler could’ve had more support than just Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Right, well if we were really sneaky we could connive with SA this afternoon and work out what we'd have to lose by to allow them to join us and Oz on eight points, while allowing them to improve their run rate enough to overtake Oz but not by enough to over take us. Austalia out, we still top the group, everyone's a winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 190 to win, SA need to beat us by around 60 runs to overtake Aus apparently, so 125 all out please We need to score 87 to make the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 We're very vulnerable in terms of batting after our openers. Now we look like we've lost one of them for the rest of the tournament it'll make winning the whole thing a lot harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 10, 2021 Report Share Posted November 10, 2021 85-2 with eight overs left, decent position unless we lose a lot of wickets, 175/180 hopefully? Edit: Three overs left, I may have been a little optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Livingstone's last over went for just two I thought we had it but not to be; still thinks the batsmen left us fifteen odd short though, they didn't get the ball away at the death like NZ did. With you on New Zealand for the final though. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With you on New Zealand for the final though. I thought we had it too and also agree about the batting - they just couldn’t ramp it up at the end when it was needed. Bringing Wood back has turned out to be a complete waste. Selectors clearly thought it would be like for like with Mills but Wood just tried to bowl as fast as he could without even thinking about where he was actually putting the ball, which led to him just getting smashed all over the place.
