143 to win, but they are already in the top 50 fourth innings scores for all tests. They're going for it, but will probably put the brakes if the next wicket falls before the new ball

Dunno - have been listening to SE, which is essentially Geoff Lemon and Andy Collins + friends, with vision on Kayo. This is where they do there best work

okily dokily - explain how the Taliban are fearful of the ICC and would likely change there ways at the threat of this isolationist regime being, um, isolated? Seriously explain to this blind person how this will turn the Taliban into loving womens cricket?

Interesting take by Andy Flower. I'd hope that the men's team doesn't get banned. Yes, all countries should have women's teams and Afghanistan doesn't, but that isn't for the want of trying by the Afghan Cricket Board. I dont see what a ban would achieve other than to satisfy western angst.

Jones can GAGF. Not saying he is making anything up, but it was unfortunately that this was obvious from the get go. Hughes wasn't knocked out, when you get knocked out through brain trauma you just go. He passed out, and he passed out due to blood circulation issues from trauma to either...

He's pretty good, have heard quite a lot of him in recent years on shows like Rory Bremner's One Question Quiz and sometimes on the The Now Show. Cricket tragic who sometimes pairs up with Paul Sinha. Usually a good sign of a show if he is on it.

The sheer amount of money that CA spent on it beggars belief, so it better be good.

Re: Peter Roebuck is dead Love-Hated Peter Roebuck, at times he was a bore, at times he was insightful, but he was always one of the best writers.

Nor had New Zealand until this match - they had lost more knockout matches than South Africa, so one of these two teams was going to finally break that cycle.

not the greatest of starts :(

MacGill seems really nervous and subsequently quite fidgity, hopefully he'll settle in a couple of nights (and a bottle of red). English commentators are boring me to tears and am listending via the radio, depsite the small time difference.

Re: ICC World Twenty20 2009-Group B Netherlands certainly look like the team that want to win. Even if England lose , theyw ill probably still go through if they beat Pakistan

Maybe not a bad thing - given that Kolkota will be lucky to get to 100 at this rate. I was about to say 120 and only because Ganguly is going ok, but he has just gone to a Nannes-Warner combo. Delhi will win this very easily

quite a dull match by 20/20 standards, not convinced that Delhi can get the 117 target

This is going to be a massive score and I have to sit here all night and watch it and the folowing match.

That was hilarious - while they were scrambling around looking like fools Dhoni was standing at the other end with a 'Do I know these guys?' demeanour

how totally beezar

It's true that Ponting could learn a few lessons, its easy to forget that when you have an excess of success that others seek to enjoy the sport as well. But really, if there are any lessons to be learnt from the AFL, its that resolving of issues such as racism are best handled in an inclusive...

Usual table tonight Mr Hyde?

Yeah and the umpires should schedule only 40 overs each before the match even begins:rolleyes:

Rain will knock another hour off this match and it will most likely end in a draw. Which means Australia can draw the finals by winning in Adelaide, however England will gain the crowing rights.

Being into the evening already, it'll slow down the outfield for the rest of the match - despite increasing the slipperiness it works out in Englands favour.

Well then change the ball and not dock the team runs- it was the docking of the team runs that it is the crucial issue. It was an unambiguous statement that Pakistan had been cheating. This is not something where you weigh up the probability of chance, this is an accusation that must be proven...

Hair is in the poo alright, its basically considered that things like ball-tampering will be dealt with by the match referee who has the benefit of time and video replays to make an investigation of such serious a nature. Hair's accusation of cheating against Pakistan with only circumstantial...

Australia to win - easily

It's just a pity both can't win it. Both players have consistently led rearguard actions with both bat and ball that have swung games in their teams favour. Any other year, any other series, get a performance like Flintoff's or Warne's and they would be dead certs. There's already plenty of...

A Target of 129, England have effectively lost one wicket already (S Jones) and the rest of the team have been fielding for two days and would be a bit tired. Get Lee &Tait to soften them up and then send in Warne to finish them off. Nothing simpler!

That match was a dead rubber, no pressure at all

Well as things are right at this moment, we are level on runs, but England have a four wicket advantage (given the form of our top order, that's nothing!). They also have to bat last and their bowlers are weary. This match is really quite even.
