The Cricket Thread

Making quite hard work out of this. Not sure if it’s down to good bowling or poor batting.
And as I write Livingstone hits back to back 4s.

 

England win in the 19th over.
Just took a snapshot of the tv screen. The WACA stadium looks incredible.
The squiggly lines to the right are on a bridge over the river Swan.

 

Great ball, great wicket. Game very much on.

 

The favourites getting dismantled yesterday and now india really atrugglinf too. Going to be a great world cup.

I fancy New Zealand to finally get one over the line and, England aside, would like them to win it as I feel they do deserve it.

 

You can almost see the weight of the entire Indian hopes resting on Kohli's shoulders here!

 

This is a mad final over

 

This is just nuts!

 

Nawaz has just thrown this away with the extras.

 

Wide. What a moron.

 

Kohli is incredible. That was only possible due to him.

 

Wow. That match had everything.

 

I was surprised that Kohli ran 3 instead of keeping the strike, in the last over, but it worked out in the end.
Incredible death batting with the added pressure of it being against the “old enemy”.

 

Best to stay clear of Leicester tonight.

 

I think it's fair to say Zimbabwe's decision to bat first today has to go down as one of the worst toss decisions in the history of cricket.

 

Although they may well get of jail by the rain.

 

Looks like the England v Ireland game could be decided by the weather tomorrow.
Reasonably high percentage chance of rain pretty much all day in Melbourne, with it being more likely in the evening.

 

England need to get their act together before they play someone good.

 

Hey Malan, this is a T20 not a test match.

 

Watching England bat. The ball timing is appalling.
I wasn’t impressed with their batting against Afghanistan, but this is worse.

 

Hey Malan - singles aren't going to cut it. 2 boundaries in 36 balls is embarrassing.
