    Chris Jordan hattrick ! USA collapsed to 115 all out ... 4 wickets in 1 over



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    Heroic Chris Jordan gets 3 rabbits out for a hat trick. 9 10 11 of the Mighty USA. Sky exaggerating as usual, you would think he got Sehwag Tendulkar and Dravid. Pakistan are complete rubbish to lose to them, must begone back to throwing games. Nasser Hussain is at it again, everything is amazing, constantly amazed Nasser



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    32 runs scored off the 9th over by England . USA have been awful to be fair. Like a net session for Buttler and Salt out there.

    9.4 overs and England successfully chase the target…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,337 ✭✭✭Gillespy


    Pure savagery by England. Tonight's game shoud be worth staying up for. One of the form teams against the hosts. South Africa should have enough but too close to call really



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    West Indies can't hit it off the square 73/2 off 11, way short of a decent total

    wickets tumbling and some of those wickets lost to not very great bowling instead poor shot execution and selection



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    poor cricket, Andre frustrated and banging his bat, think he believed he had more time, no dive attempted but probably more cheesed off that Hosein called him through for the single.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    That was their last hope, West Indies have been terrible



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    well a bit of a decent final over by WI but the South Africans look relaxed and composed and comfortable leaving the field.

    WI need a few early wickets, otherwise this will get pretty uncompetitive pretty fast.

    Only a fraction over a run a ball required from the South Africans….. wouldn’t be expecting them to lose from here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    disaster of a first over from Hosein , 12 conceded

    But the second over from Russell brings 2 wickets….

    And rain , hopefully a quick shower……but some amount of rain falling jeeez.

    Battled well with the ball but South Africa got home by 3 wickets off the first ball of the final over



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,337 ✭✭✭Gillespy


    India 52-1 after five overs, Rohit Sharma has made 50 of them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,518 ✭✭✭✭ArmaniJeanss


    Thankfully they have speeded up since that tardy beginning, now 114/2 from 10 overs.

    92 of them for Sharma off 39 balls.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,035 ✭✭✭pavb2


    Rohit out the Aussies needed that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,337 ✭✭✭Gillespy


    Australia doing it easy. Travis Head India's nemesis again.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,035 ✭✭✭pavb2


    Australia on the way home if Afghanistan beat Bangladesh later



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    conservative enough start by Afghanistan with the bat, but they’ve lost no wickets after 8 overs, might as well go agressive , ultra agressive now. Bangladesh with just the single chance that saw them drop Ibrahim, tough chance though, was hit head height and like an absolute tracer bullet to shortish extra cover. Not enough boundaries being hit, silly when you’ve every wicket intact.

    4 singles off the 10th over 🤐



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    first innings complete but some serious rain coming down, more play looks seriously doubtful.

    Square covered but the outfield has not been and has to have taken on a serious amount of water. The covers certainly have they’ll be ages clearing those.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭MFPM


    Bangladesh 3 down after 3 overs chasing 116.

    Rain is back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,623 ✭✭✭MFPM


    Afghanistan complete the semi final line up. Some achievement. Given SA propensity to mess up in semi finals AFG have a real shot at the final here.

    Rashid Khan is some dude, he gave a great interview after it. If I was Litton Das I wouldn't be too happy with the rest of the team. He carried his bat for 54* and was the only one who looked dangerous. Exciting finish, Bangaladesh on the wrong end of it again



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭wazzzledazzle


    Very good side and no reason why they can’t beat SA.

    India will win this though. Every base covered. Best bowler, batsmen and all rounders in the world.

    I was going through the IPL squads for reference earlier and India could field 3 different entire teams all capable of winning this tournament. The strength in depth is insane



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,337 ✭✭✭Gillespy


    Fantastic result but marred by the carryon of Gulbadin Naib faking cramp when it was about to rain and they were just ahead on DLS. Time wasting goes on all the time in cricket but this was so blatant it was almost funny.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    Funny but unsurprising. They are always at it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    something really surprising which will be weird if true..

    “The defending champions are set to play against one of the pre-tournament favourites, India, on Thursday, June 27, in Guyana.

    However, should the game be abandoned because of rain, England would crash out without even facing a ball due to a strange tournament rule.

    This is because there is no reserve day scheduled for the second semi-final, which is set to start at 3:30pm in the UK.

    There is a reserve day for the first semi-final between South Africa and Afghanistan, so if that match is postponed because of rain, they will get to play the following day.”

    Guyana has lots of rain forecast, bizarre that one semi has a reserve day but not the other…the reason england will get ninjad is because India finished higher in the super 8’s. 1st vs 2nd for England

    Imagine… a World Cup being partly scheduled in a part of the world where at this time of the year they have what’s known as the ‘rainy season’… 🤦🏻‍♂️



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,330 ✭✭✭✭y0ssar1an22


    afghanistan will do well to get 60 here. currently 51/9.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,330 ✭✭✭✭y0ssar1an22


    bowled out for 56. thats SA into a final eventually.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭wazzzledazzle


    That pitch really isn’t good enough for a WC semi final. That pitch would even for a test match be questionable

    Anyway, South Africa have a great opportunity to win their first World Cup now. They would prefer England over India.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    Turned on the semi final late and Afghanistan were 29/6. Headed back to bed.

    Honestly, if that was a Test Match, there would have had to be a consultation on whether it would have been able to continue. Some deliveries bouncing over QDK head off a length, crazy movement off the pitch. Balls keeping low. A par score on that pitch last night would have been in the region of 80. And not i'm joking with that figure.

    Ridiculous



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    yeah it cause of shît like that…poor pitches, poor attendances, indifferent weather that really all detracted a bit from the competition. Hopefully the ICC will learn a valuable lesson but I wouldn’t guarantee it.

    Good start for England winning the toss.

    World Cup semi final and nobody at the thing…. Rows and rows of empty seats. Ground looks about 20-25% full.
    Hopefully between them the two bidders lose a shît load of cash that will see them sit out future bids to hold world cups… because I doubt the ICC would learn their lesson…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭wazzzledazzle


    Well the IPL won't be moving their dates anytime soon, so either the ICC say tough sh!t to the IPL and hold the tournament in April/May depending on country holding it or they move it to a location that the weather isn't in the rainy season.

    M understanding is that the groundsmen because of the rain have struggled to prepare the pitches they really wanted.

    Last nights pitch was one of the worst pitches i have seen international cricket played on. Actually, i'll go as far as saying that even the pitches i played on in my youth were better than last nights pitch



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    mad. Yeah, the ICC would be better off standing up to the IPL.

    First wicket for England… a good start with the ball and Kohli who had looked nervous, on his way.

    more abysmal fielding from Rashid. I’d have stopped that with one hand tied behind my back 😮



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Pant won’t enjoy looking back at that shot. Tame dismissal. England with a decent start, in pole position here… so far.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    Looks like England may well go home without hitting a ball in anger!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,762 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    Back on in 10 mins, hopefully the rain holds off.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    sky is much clearer here’s hoping…

    19 runs off Currans over… England were going great guns until that shîtshow.

    Rashid bowls Rohit ! And concedes only 3 … good stuff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Jordan bowling absolute dross to being on a hattrick in two deliveries. 😳

    3 wickets for Jordan but his economy was 12.33 and he butchered a simple run out chance at the death.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    He always bowls dross. Him and Curran donated 62 off 5 overs, silence in the commentary box as usual. Tough chase with the Indian bowlers to deal with



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    yep, both of those are beyond criticism in some quarters..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,392 ✭✭✭✭Furze99


    Keeping an eye on this, nicely poised. !70 is a decent enough score. We'll know a lot more after first five overs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    The spinners went at 6 r/o and Topley and Archer around 8.3. The 2 boys were 12.4 with 19 & 15 run overs. I don't criticise on who I like or don't like, it's only performance based. It's almost every game. Nasser in the commentary box as usual backing up his favourites



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,392 ✭✭✭✭Furze99


    The wheels are falling off that wagon you'd have to say.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭wazzzledazzle


    Doomed already



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭wazzzledazzle


    Harry Brook and a load of tailenders after that. And yes. Livingston imo is a tailender these days



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    wtf was Moeen at there ? If ever England needed a partnership and he just inexplicably goes for an aimless wander down the pitch….stumped 😅

    Curran with a believable Phil Tufnell impression, the fûck he missed that ? Gone 😬



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,161 ✭✭✭wazzzledazzle




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,947 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Brook and Livingstone need to get about scoring 4s & 6s



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    He reviewed as well, probably wanted to see which stump it was hitting



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    Curran Reviewed
