Paxter Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Yeah I’m on highlights only, but that’s as much due to the quality of the tournament as the time difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxter Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 NZ’s batting largely misfired, Rizwan and Babar did their thing…and Pakistan sail through to the final! Clinical(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Winged Shadow Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Was hoping for a India Pakistan final. But Pakistan always seems to collapse against India so probably for the best. Really hope England doesn't win. Would be a disaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crixus Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Fucking insane Pakistan, as usual. We were resigned to being kicked out and lo! We somehow got to the semis and are now in the final? Seriously WTF lol. Too bad India's out, or it would've been another heart-stopping (literally for some!) final. Oh well. Some Pakis are obsessively drawing comparisons to the 1992 final where we somehow snuck in against all odds and then won the damned thing against England. I wouldn't get my hopes up though - England was on fire today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I bet Morgan enjoyed commentating one of Hales' best ever knocks for England... Another ICC tournament knockout for India, who are doing their best job of imitating South Africa in recent years. England's tournament to lose now. Unfortunately lousy weather forecast in Melbs for the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 So it seems like there's a decent possibility even with the reserve day on Monday that they might not be able to get 10 overs a side played in Melbourne with all the rain forecast. In that case apparently they'd have to declare the sides joint winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst part is that there is a roofed stadium just down the road in Docklands (but with less capacity and no pitch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Waney, we’ve got some play. Probably a big advantage for England to bowl first and potentially know what they need if it’s rain affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamjm Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 A good, disciplined bowling performance by England to restrict Pakistan to 137. Curran and Rashid particularly good. Now the batsmen have to do their part, Pakistan probably need early wickets here to put some pressure on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Really good from Rashid in particular. He’s been a fantastic limited overs bowler for England but he’s been managing a shoulder problem over the last couple of years and hasn’t been quite the strike bowler he used to be. He really turned back the years with that wicket maiden over though, great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Pakistan have managed to get both openers although England have made a decent start in terms of run rate. Ben Stokes could be the key player now because it always seems to turn out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 So, er, Stokes is properly fucking this so far. Just go at a run a ball ffs. He’s put big pressure on himself to catch up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamjm Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Terrible luck for Pakistan with Afridi's injury at a key moment. That could be the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
