WTF are we doing?

 

[Astro35]

Choking badly now

 

[Farang83150]

Wow....7/140 from 36 overs

 

[matthew_s]

i reckon Green could do with a stint back at WA.

Choking badly now

Choking implies we were favourites going in

We are performing about how I expected we would.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

7/143 is not bad, if we bowl really well we might be able to defend that.

This is the T20 World Cup right?

 

[Farang83150]

Can Reid bat?

What's the format of this World Cup?

What's the format of this World Cup?

The round-robin element of the Cricket World Cup runs from October 5 through to November 12 and comprises one group with all 10 teams.

Each nation plays every other nation once, earning two points for a win and one point for a tie or no result. This is in the event of both teams finishing their innings on the same number of runs or if the weather takes hold of a game and the match is abandoned.

The four teams with the most points at the end of the round-robin then progress into the Semi-Final, which takes place on November 15 and 16. Here, the nation that tops the group takes on fourth place, with second taking on third for a place in the final on November 19.

That's a long ******* tournament.

Needs relegation

India plays all other 9 teams and then to pretend its fair they all play each other too, and then the ICC prays that India and Pakistan face each other again in a knock out game.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I thought the ICC learnt their lesson about long tournaments after the Windies hosted years ago. I presume the BCCI set the schedule.

Good start!

Nah, the issue with that one was that Pakistan and India both got knocked out in the group stage and missed the Super 8, so they changed the format so that they were both guaranteed as many games as possible.

It's changing back to 2 groups of 7 for the next world cup though, assuming ODIs still exist

 

[Farang83150]

2/2
As he trudges off to Eagle Rock...

 

[Farang83150]

3/2...

 

[Astro35]

Well damn, that makes it interesting

 

[RookiePick]

Blooming heck..imagine if we had 250 up?

Bowlers doing their bit.

 

[Farang83150]

Marsh drops Kholi..

 

[twadds]

Marsh not having a great game.

 

[Seadog]

Maxwell as usual fails when he's needed. Most overrated Australian in the game.

 

[matthew_s]

Marsh not having a great game.

I dunno, Unless Kohli makes his 100, i reckon he's got MotM locked in. Has done more for an Indian victory than anyone else.

 

[FKASC]

WA bias letting down the national side yet again

 

[Carbine Chaos]

WA bias letting down the national side yet again

Let's be honest Green should be nowhere near the ODI side.
