Off Topic Cricket World Cup

[TIGERSCAVE]

I think I nearly broke the remote this afternoon..... amazing from all the sports stars today...

If there isn't one paper using the headline 'Champagne Super Over' tomorrow, we've failed as a society.

Ha
That was Mrs Tash’s best contribution to the day...asking why they hadn’t played it yet!

 

[dennisboothstash]

We won
I’ve no idea why...goal difference presumably?

Don’t care why though

More boundaries I think.

Not that it matters now.

In the Final or overall?
I couldn’t tell cos Askew was prancing about punching the air and explaining to Mrs Askew how he’d waited for this moment since 1966...or something

Anyone got any idea where to start when explaining that to someone who knows sweet FA about cricket? Questions so far have been what's an over and how do you get the runs?

Just start with the basics of Duckworth Lewis and go from there...

even the sites that should know better (cricinfo!) keep saying england won the eliminator, but that was tied, same as the match.

As NZ is one of the best countries in the world to live in, it seems wholly inappropriate to say 'You're going back to your ****hole', especially as Kiwis are by and large decent folk

Maybe even a 'All this way for nothing' would be misplaced.

Commiserations to such a small game country playing away from home against the hosts- they've overachieved massively.

Bummer of a journey home though for the ones that have made the trip.

From what perspective? Kiwis can’t wait to move out of NZ. There’s thousands in the UK.

 

[askewshair]

Never in doubt!

A lot more in Sydney.

Nobody, look who posted it.

I feared that, but hoped not.
