World T20 England vs Afghanistan

[LlcoolJ]

Nabi gone for 12. 64/6

 

[KZNSeagull]

64-6 after 12.5. Things are looking up

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

So the state of English cricket is YOUR fault!

Only PARTLY !!

I can't take all the credit .....

 

[OzMike]

Now the fight back !

 

[LlcoolJ]

60 from 30 required with 6 wickets down. Don't blow it now England!

 

[OzMike]

12 an over, hard ask.

 

[LlcoolJ]

85/7

 

[Bold Seagull]

That was a harsh run out. Feel for the batsmen on that one. Was out though.

 

[Everest]

Serves him right for using a rubber bat

 

[Hiney]

88/7

55 off 24 balls required

 

[Everest]

That was a harsh run out. Feel for the batsmen on that one. Was out though.

Unlucky yes, but not harsh

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

The importance of having bowlers that can bat is turning out to be the deciding factor ....
Gone are the days where just being a good / exceptional bowler will get you in the team - Topley "rested" today for a very good reason?

 

[Uncle Buck]

8 down.

 

[OzMike]

2 wickets left.

 

[LlcoolJ]

That knock by Moeen is looking very good now.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

How can it be harsh if he was out?

Unlucky yes, but not harsh

I haven't seen the clip ....
The proposed law changes for 2017 are considering a change to run out where a player has made his ground [e.g. diving in] but then has something in the air at the moment the wicket is broken - currently this is [harshly] out but MAY be changed in Oct 2017.

 

[Hiney]

36 off 14 needed

 

[KZNSeagull]

108-9. Nearly there.

 

[OzMike]

I hope this is a wake up call.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Now 118-9. Englands's net run rate gain eroding
