peasy23 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 A sore one for the Netherlands as they fall to a record defeat at a World Cup, Australia winning by 309 runs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Did I hear right? Apparently the Cricket at the 2028 Olympics is going to be a 6 team tournament (6 male, 6 female that is)? Half the teams there will get a medal. Presumably the 6 will be India, Pakistan, GB (i.e. England), Australia, New Zealand and USA. Seems a bit shit if that's the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have hoped that if they had learned anything from the Bairstow run out in the summer, that it might have been a bit of awareness about being in your crease at the appropriate moments in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 They mentioned on commentary how England have struggled despite this being largely the team that won 4 years ago. That's the problem for me though, they've played so little 50 over cricket since that they've just stuck to what they know, with no way of judging form properly coming into the tourney. It's been an absolute shitshow since they landed in India. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also made a mockery of the domestic 50 over comp by introducing that gameshow Hundred. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) SA chasing 271 against Pakistan and should get there, but they've just lost Markram who has held the whole innings together. 21 needed from 58 with 3 wickets left but just the tail to get them over the line.

peasy23 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 8 down now, Coetzee nicking Afridi to the keeper. That 21 looks a lot bigger now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 That's a stunning catch by Haris Rauf off his own bowling, having to adjust and dive on his follow through. 9 down with 11 still needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Sore one for Pakistan, very close lbw turned down and reviewed, umpire's call, think umpires will always give benefit of the doubt to batter. If it had been given out it would have stayed out and Pakistan would have won. Saffers saw off the pace bowlers and took 5 off the spinner to win by one wicket with less than 3 overs left.

Fuctifano Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Hadn't really paid much attention to the table beyond a giggle at England, could probably do with NZ beating the Aussies tomorrow to make it a bit of a race for the 4th spot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Another cracking win for the Netherlands today, scoring 229 batting first but then dismantling Bangladesh for 142 with them never having a sniff as they were always behind the run rate as the wickets fell early. Was gutted I had to leave for the football and miss the end of Australia v New Zealand, it was shaping up to be a cracker and ended up that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
