ICC T20 Cricket World Cup 2020(1) (Oct 17th-Nov 14th)

[wolf359]

8 wickets in hand, gotta start teeing off soon, surely?

Worryingly conservative so far, we have a massive batting line up, take some risks. NZ bowling well though and making it difficult.

[smuts]

NZ are the most economical bowlers in the competition at the death so will take some effort.

Malan just hits a 6 then out next ball.

Seems hard to get it away, Moeens efforts of aggression went straight up in the air (but got away with it). See what Livingstone can do.

[smuts]

Argh...Livingstone holes out second ball of the last over.

[wolf359]

I think 170 was about par so even with the good finish we feel short to me, can't help thinking we were too conservative in the middle.

We have the bowlers though so we will see. They need to perform at the same time though (one or two has had an off day each game recently, we can't do that tonight)

167 it is then.

[smuts]

166 for 4. Morgan gets away with being caught after the fielder slips.

[steps]

Going to take a heroic effort from our bowling unit here.

Well that is a great start the dangerous Guptill goes 3rd ball.

[steps]

Good start.

[wolf359]

I'd be inclined to drop the ball if one of these two sky one. They are going nowhere currently.

Magnificent from England's bowlers thus far.

[wolf359]

Jordan skills. Massive effort to save the runs there.

Getting nervous, this is going to be tight.


Additional

lovely from Livingstone... Bruce likes it (nice way to spend a pay off in the Middle East watching cricket.)

[wolf359]

What an 16th over from Livingstone... a wicket and 2 runs.

Never quite understood the excitement about him, I am beginning to.

He’s bowled brilliantly.

[wolf359]

Jordan having a 'mare in the 17th.....

[brothernero]

Very poor over so far from Jordan.

[bonzosbeard]

Blown it while on top

[brothernero]

Jordan still has to bowl one more over as well.

[wolf359]

Blown it while on top

Yeap. Looks like it, are we the new South Africa? We got away with it in the 50 over but choked against West Indies, messing it up now.


Bowling bloody garbage now....

[steps]

Neesham’s taken the game away.

Got him off another crap ball.... 14 and a wicket off the over....
