World Twenty20 2010

England shafted by the weather, excellent batting performance but rain gave West Indies a 6 over run chase which they managed with a ball to go. That always favours the batting side.

Just need to beat Ireland to get through still.

D/L hasn't really been adapted to deal with T20 imo. A run rate of 10.2 over 6, beats 9.55 over 20? I don't know about that.

Ah well, we should still beat Ireland and go through. Plenty of positives to take.

I don't really agree with this idea of opening with spinners in T20, something that was fashionable in the IPL. I still think you've got a new ball and you should be out to take wickets.

I blame super fag Tony Lewis. Only he could come up with a method of deciding the outcome of a game that would become even more gayer than he could ever be!

Childish rant over

But, yeah, I think that was harsh on England tonight - D+L should be revised for the T20 matches. The system was bought in to decide the outcome of the 50 over game ffs!!!

looks like we've been screwed up the wrong un by the weather again. gutted. was looking forward to watching the crack of the mick try and beat 120

They'll need to play five overs to get a result. If there's no result England will be through to the next stage.

Match abandoned, we go through on net run rate

It sounds like we had a bit of luck today, although yesterday it was against us, so I guess it evened out.

Have the ICC chosen the Carribean rainy season to host the world cup? There seems to be a few ruined games so far.

YESSSS!!! WOOOOOOHOOOO! that's good.
looks like that excellent batting performance last night was worth something after all.
let's hope Hurricane **** bag ****s off now and let's us bat the barstools off the island

 

[Durham Fox]

Pakistanis killing us. 16-0 off first 7 balls batting first.

Excellent win

Surely worth a mention that England are in the semis with 3 of the best 20/20 performances that they have put in!

Almost certain to be against Sri Lanka.

SL beat india earlier meaning West Indies needed a big win against Australia. WI currently 80/7 off 13 overs.

 

[MKFox]

Sri Lanka win toss and bat first

Excellent bowling performance. Restricted them to 128/6.

In with a chance anyway. Unfortunately I am travelling and won't be able to watch the England innings :icon_roll

 

[MKFox]

won by 7 wickets, 4 overs in hand.
lemon squeezy

Australia need something special to win this

They need 110 from 9 overs.
