What a game

 

[happy_eagle]

This is why all 3 formats of cricket deserve respect.

This is the most Pakistan meltdown ever, a no ball by a spinner in the worst possible spot, 2 wides in the final over and 3 byes off a bowled on a free hit.

Classic Pakistan. Can’t believe they choked that. Fancy your second rung spinner having to bowl the last over though.

Probably a good thing they lost it. God knows what would have gone down if India lost to Pakistan and there was a dodgy umpiring decision involved.

At 28 off 8 their plan of getting India too far behind by the 20th over was going well.

Underrated.

Yeah. The Indian police arrested people for celebrating Pakistan beating them in last year's WC. Parochial nationalism BS.

India needed 13 off 3 balls, lost a wicket, yet still won. How on earth is that possible.

In a picture.

[Mop]

My theory is they were so transfixed in breaking the partnership that they kinda neglected that their worst bowler had to bowl the last.

how many times did Faf get done for it?

Like most things in cricket, it's okay until the Aussies do it.

Anyone else going tonight? Taking the whole Fam. Can't believe kids tickets were only $5, bargain.

Hoping they play a bit better then the last game.

 

[bh90210fan]

We need to move all of the Melbourne games to Marvel, the weather looks shithouse for the coming week. How funny would it be for us to get through to the finals due to washouts.

 

[BeeTee]

Is anyone going tonight? they reckon they will only get 25k, they can't give tickets away. Cricket has lost its sparkle, so many people i know just aren't interested in it anymore.

7pm on a Tuesday night in October against a qualifier (albeit Sri Lanka in the end). Never going to be a massive crowd.

I will be there though.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Also hardly any promotion (that I've noticed)

I'd say cricket in Australia was run by muppets but the Muppets knew how to put on a good show

 

[Dazzler9]

Oh, the game is here? Tonight??

 

[Dazzler9]

How's the South Africans against Zimbabwe? They were ahead of what the D/L rate would have been at the 5 over mark, but because it was only the third over when rain stopped play, it didn't constitute a game. Lol, unlucky fellas.
