England would be favourites to progress with NZ now right ?

We'd have to make up an awful lot on NRR against Afghanistan, whilst hope that there is either an upset (NZ vs Ireland, England vs Sri Lanka) or a tight game.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Letting Ireland get so many after being 5/25 was really poor from us last night. NRR hurt big time.

Missing the semis in a home tournament would be an epic fail.

We can't catch NZ on NRR, we'd need to beat Afghanistan by at least 70 runs more than the Poms beat SL. Either NZ or England having a washout would see us through with a win too

Didn't go hard enough with the bat either, really shouldve pushed to try get 200+

If it was the Aussies claiming that catch the Kiwis took the cricket media would be frothing

Adelaide weather Friday (NZ vs Ireland, followed by us vs AFG)


Sydney weather (Eng vs Sri Lanka)


I'd say we are purely relying on an upset.

 

[ep2018]

We treat the format with absolute disdain and its a miracle we even won one T20 WC (last year dependent so heavily on winning the toss and chasing).

 

[Dazzler9]

Who cares?

WA chasing 190-odd for victory with 9 wickets remaining in round 3 Shield action is where it's at.

The really annoying part is knowing they could have been 0/100 at the same stage and we'd have bowled the exact same bowlers in the exact same order. We do not adjust to the game situation.

FFS, yesterday was like the middle of winter and now we actually need rain, spring has decided to arrive.

Can we make it to triple figures

 

[darksquare]

This has always been mystifying to me.

Nightwatchies are a waste of time in the first place in my opinion anyway.

Wes Agar making a case today...

Looking iffy

Gunna need some partnerships. Big test for Wyllie here, need someone to bat through

 

[kane249]

2 down already this morning

Rocchiccioli hit in the head and then fell back on his stumps apparently

 

[Ochre]

Can we make it to triple figures twenty

 

[matthew_s]

and Wyllie gone.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Doesn’t look like the wicket got any easier overnight.

 

[Truckosaurus]

It's good to see a nice, even contest between bat and ball.

I think you might've jinxed us Dazz.

 

[Agent93]

Did I read that batting order correctly, Philippe to come in at 10? Is he injured?

 

[Dazzler9]

I think you might've jinxed us Dazz.

That's not a jinx.

A jinx would be me saying something like Cartwright and Fanning have steadied the ship after a wobbly start and are looking the goods to get us into a secure position for victory.

But I wouldn't be that silly.

Where did you read that?

ESPN cricinfo suggesting next to bat are Hardie, Paris, Pie, then Philippe and Morris.

He's not covered himself in glory here.

So we're all Ireland / Sri Lanka fans for the rest of the week?

I think I'd prefer to see the T20 side go down in flames so they stop doing the same thing over and over.
