You're allowed to do that. You're not allowed to hit the ball twice in an attempt to make runs. That's my understanding anyway. Batters alway swat a ball that is rolling towards their stumps.

Yeah I think the rule specifically mentions you're allowed to hit it the second time to guard your wicket.

Gods, you should see some the melts from Pakistan supporters on a cricket forum I am on. Some of their players might not have unburnt houses to return to

 

[MJG14]

Magnificent shot from Rohit.

The way they operate these days the Govt might put the players in jail alongside Imran Khan.

Here's hoping Rohit can score a century tonight

 

[Moonwatcher]

I never played cricket but in a PE class managed to hit the ball three times with a single continuous swing of the bat. Ball lobbed up over the slips

Khan is in prison?

Khan is in prison?

Political corruption or something like that

 

[Moonwatcher]

Political corruption or something like that

I remember Next Week Tonight with John Oliver called him the Trump of Pakistan

 

[akkaps]

Do you have a crowd figure for tonights game? Or have the BCCI yet to inflate the real figure?

 

[akkaps]

Rohit finally goes for 86 off a mishit

 

[Moonwatcher]

India in a similar position to what Pakistan were. Evenly poised!

 

[Fudge Nuggets]

I’ll get to sleep at a decent time thank the lord

KL Rahul, the human rain delay, says otherwise.

 

[samFFC]

Way way way too good

 

[akkaps]

Game over. Bed time

 

[HK_Hawk]

And commentators talking up the Indian performance because of the pressure. Yeah, nah. Pakistan had the leg up with all those Indian fans putting pressure on India... lol.

After Game 12 Standings:

 

[NYRB]

Aussies be hoping Afghanistan dont beat the English tomorrow, otherwise they will be bottom of the ladder.

I get no joy in being proven right about how this game would play out.

I'm predicting this game to be a fizzer.

Nah, we need them to beat England.

Pakistan started really well. Could have gone differently

 

[NYRB]

The stat that really stood out for me in last nights game was the number of 6's hit: India 8 v 0 Pakistan. Boundaries hit: India 18 v 26 Pakistan.

Pakistan set their target too low and were just beaten all ends up. Needed to aim a lot higher from the get-go. Dare I say it the way India batted, had they bat 1st, a score above 400+ , probably more close to 420 wouldnt have been out of the equation.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Had India batted first they would have been a lot more conservative. Pakistan had put themselves in a very good position just before the fall of the 3rd wicket.
