20/20 NZ v.s WI, was a draw so it went to a bowl off.

[Robster]

Funny crap, 5 bowlers each team have to balls each to bowl the balls at the stumps, NZ WON!! weird crap.

 

[Rustay]

I was reading the ball-by-ball and it went through two whole rounds before someone hit the stumps...would have been good to watch that crap! :lol:

 

[Robster]

haha some bowlers would even miss 6 stumps in the ground it was that pathetic, shane bond what a legend hit the stumps twice and hit 4 on the last ball of the match to lead it into a bowl off.

What a farce.

 

[NPK]

I wish I saw it! Did they have to bowl at normal pace?

 

[budz]

What a farce.

Well thats the thing about 20/20. Its not meant to be taken seriously. I think it would have been pretty funny to watch.

Na they kind of waddled up at half pace....It was pathetic, 12 deliveries before anyone hit them. The windies where sending it everywhere...Good wicket keeping practice.

I think in any draw in a cricket game it should be resulted in a ball out.

 

[NPK]

How about having every player throw a ball at a stump from square leg? Most hits wins.

crickets equivilent of a penalty shoot out

 

[douglasallen91]

hopefully it follows the supersubs rule. goodbye.

 

[Palms]

Dibs on McGrath to win that anyday of the year..he wouldnt miss the stumps if he was blindfolded I dont think!

 

[Balmain_Boy]

What an absolute farce.

Wouldn't it have been simpler, fairer and more logical to give the team who lost less wickets the win?

20/20 is deadset a blight on the game.

 

[Twizzle]

yeh, I agree

its a circus and its there to appeal to the non cricket lover or a bit of family entertainment

 

[Robster]

whats wrong with big crowds being entertained?

 

[Big_Bad_Shark_Fan]

Im not crazy about less wickets winning. I think thats a pretty cheap way to win. For 20\20 a bowl off is great, it adds to the novelty - lets just hope it doesnt go into ODIs though

I agree the crowd loved it as well.

I watched on cricinfo the NZ innings and the bowl off - firstly, dispicable last 10 overs from New Zealand, they just about lost the unlosable.

Secondly, for professional cricketers, for so many misses its quite comical. Hitting the stumps is not too difficult a task really. Particularly when there's no batsman in front of them.

 

[Lego_Man]

Bit of a wank really. Artificial, lame and unnecessary.

 

[NPK]

Maybe the batting team that faced the least dot balls could be the winner. Interesting.
