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

Or hit the most sixes. Then they could have a "six counter" that ran through each team's innings that counted the number of sixes hit, so both teams would know where they stood.

How about this way:

Each team has five batsmen, one bowler, and one wicketkeeper. No fielders.
The five batsmen each have one delivery to face (one shot at goal). In order to score, the ball must be a six or a four. Wides and no-balls are counted and rebowled.
The batsmen alternate between teams, just like a penalty shoot-out, and the team with the most runs from the five balls wins.

Not quite as gay as the bowl-off, surely.

I was thinking something like that as well...

But probably 1 batsman and bowler per ball, and have fielders........

You can just imagine a stupid spectator running onto the field to field the ball in the outfield!

Honestly why don't they make it the first person to hit a sign in the crowd (a bit like the ING signs)! It would be much better entertainment!

 

[douglasallen91]

what about keeping it as a tie.

 

[Tom Shines]

Just looked at the thread title...
Do you think my suggestion should be adopted as a "bat-off"? :lol:

Nice to see Unzud stuck with the beige for all of their Twenty20 games.

Apart from keeping a tie, most solutions are gay

I guess they could play another 5 overs or something.

The bowl off is ok, but they should be forced to bowl at game speed, and I reckon they should have to start with those that didn't bowl in the game, at least that would add to the humour (which IMO is the only redeeming quality)

Yeah but not the full on Porn Star Look. I still think teh Winides were party poopers for not getting on the retro kit bandwagon. At least the Aussie did last year. There was an alteritive to pink you know.

I loved the twenty20, i had been looking foward to it for ages, and it was great, sure i only watched it on tv but meh

i was screamin at my tv in our batting innings haha i just wanted us to win for cairnsy <3

the bowl off was one of the highlights for me haha f**k haha i loved it, the players loved it, well, not sure about the windies, but really, it was just a bit of fun, and nz showed that in their celebrations when ever some nz bowler didnt hit the stumps haha, they just laughed it off

cant wait for the next twenty20
