Ivo den Bieman Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 England were shambolically bad with the ball and in the field. Really, really embarrassing. sure they won, which is what matters, but if it's possibile to be a humiliated victor then England managed it today. A very close run thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I cannot remember the last time I saw England field quite so badly. It was truly comical at times. The bowling wasn't much better. They will be absolutely smashed when they come up against a good side, starting with India on Sunday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Who does everyone want to win the WC? Personally I'd love to see the West Indies win it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to be in for a disappointment then. I'd love England to win it. Suspect I'll be in for a disappointment as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Want England. Think India. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Possibly. I don't want England to win it. I would like to see the South Africans to win it just as a sort of fuck off to everyone else calling them the bottlers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 There were a lot of mighty suspicious no-balls in the Pakistan vs Kenya game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'd like England to win as always, but they have no chance whatsoever. The sides in with a chance are Australia, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. I suppose Pakistan could do something, but I think their inconsistency will catch up with them. Assuming England don't win, I'd be delighted to see Sri Lanka emerge victorious. However, I suspect India will be the team to beat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placidcasual Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Could someone explain to me what the 'batting powerplay' is all about please? And is this something that happens in all ODI's or is it just in the world cup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowden til i die Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Could someone explain to me what the 'batting powerplay' is all about please? And is this something that happens in all ODI's or is it just in the world cup? Happen is all ODI's. There's a bowling and batting powerplay, they are basically the same thing though. Basically the first 10 overs are a the first powerplay. You're only allowed 2 fielders allowed outside the 30 yard, I think that's the distance, marker allowing for more boundaries. After the initial 10 overs each captain gets to choose a period of the game where the same rules apply as before but for only 5 overs. Basically each team has 5 overs of powerplay to use. The batting team will wait to take it when it suits them best and the runs are flowing whereas the bowling team will want to get them out the way. Hopefully that makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 This is exhilarating stuff from Strauss. Bet you could have named your own price on England after the first Innings. I thought they'd struggle to get 275. Must be favourites to win now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant, brilliant stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
