T20 Cricket World Cup

[John the Monkey]

Great game! The way cricket can ebb and flow even in T20 still surprises me at times.

Superb game. Fantastic batting from Jos Buttler and some superb bowling from Ben Stokes and Chris Jordan at the end. Spinners were poor but a semi final spot is more than I expected at the start of the tournament

Gutted. Well played to the victors.

Afghanistan go out on a high - win against West Indies by 6 runs

 

[Dayvo]

Strange scorecard: only three Afghanistanis made double figures, and the Windies no. 3, Andre Fletcher was not 11 off 13 balls. Was he denied the strike, or had he been injured?

Well done, Afghanistan.

edit: just saw that he'd been injured.

England women under the cosh - done not bad tho to keep it down to 132-6 in 20 - looked like it was going to be nearer to 160 at one point

Like watching "A League of their own"

Women need 60 from 54.
Doable....

I was just about say England seem to have been performing well so far and then there was a dropped chance. 76 - 1 with 8 overs remaining.

21 from 12

Tricky

England Women threw the game away.. they had it in the bag.
Oh well.. on to the chaps...

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Blimey, how many do the openers need to get to counteract the England batting collapse?

 

[AndyRM]

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

I went to get a sandwich they were cruising. What a spectacular implosion!

Fair result - really reflect what has gone before in the competition - Australia very strong throughout - England top order getting good starts then rubbish in the middle and just getting through by dint of the 9/10s - not good enough against the best
