16 overs without rain. What a treat.

 

[Bazal]

We might even get to 20!

 

[Bazal]

Well I'll be damned. It's just started raining.

Rain in England? I'm shocked.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Fair dos - it's Wales not England.

 

[Bazal]

So it is.

Well it was nice knowing you all, but it seems I've made a costly mistake. The Welsh are no doubt on their way as we speak...

Fair dos - it's Wales not England.

Rain in the UK

 

[TheParraboy]

Kiwis got nothing after Williamson/taylor got removed, they were in a decent position too
Guptil failing ddnt help

Big defeat coming up coming up

Aussies need a big win on Saturday now.

1 wicket or 1 run victory will do

play our best next 2 games

Next two games?

If Australia win it goes to run rate doesn't it?

 

[Scott]

Aussie win - through to semi's
Aussie lose - gone - unless Bangladesh beats NZ.

 

[JJ]

Rain really didn't help us - be nice if Guptill contributed

 

[TheParraboy]

Next two games?

If Australia win it goes to run rate doesn't it?

Why?

we would be the same points as the poms on 4

NZ and bangers cant reach 4 pts

 

[Pommy]

Why?

we would be the same points as the poms on 4

NZ and bangers cant reach 4 pts

Yeah I got confused and thought nz had already beat bangers, no idea why.
Still what did you mean next two games?

Next game and (potential) semi against a top finisher I'd assume

 

[undertaker]

Aussie win - through to semi's
Aussie lose - gone - unless Bangladesh beats NZ.

In addition, Australia could advance through on Net Run Rate with a narrow loss against England if Bangladesh vs New Zealand is a tie or rained out.
