2024 T20 World Cup (Hosts USA and West Indies)

Edit: If Phillips stay in...

41 off 11, not bloody likely.

KIWIS GONSKI

42 from 2 overs, 2 wkts left

 

[Eelectrica]

Game going right to the last over. Just 33 needed, one wicket in hand.
Simple equation now for NZ
4 6’s, two 4’s for a super over

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Santner giving it a go!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

So by my reckoning 3 test sides out: Sri Lanka, Ireland and now the Teal caps.

 

[Eelectrica]

It looks like our Super 8’s group will be
India
Australia
Afghanistan
Bangladesh?

Not sure that we really care what England do.

 

[TheParraboy]

The over achievers of world cups have under achieved

slight possibility they can go through, need Afghanistan to lose to both PNG and WI, and then have a better NRR than them

Has anyone told England there is a simple way around that.

Marsh is rested from the Scotland game & Wadey gets the captaincy if he has to cop a 2 game ban then so be it.

Inglis is there he can come in to keep and bat.

While England are sent home.

Its pretty straight forward.

Get that up ya Piers & England.

Tbh I don’t think anyone here is watching…. T20 is bullshit to start, but our half arsed approach here is embarrassing

 

[mozza91]

England vs Oman. Will be great to see 2 minnows of similar ability do battle.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bangladesh beat Netherlands.

England dismissed Oman for 47. If they can chase that down in 32 balls they move ahead of Scotland on NRR.

Currently 2/32 off 15 balls......

 

[AlwaysGreen]

England chase down the total in just 19 balls and so move ahead of Scotland on NRR.

Australia need to concentrate on beating Scotland and leave the mathematics to mathematicians.

 

[Twizzle]

I'd rather draw it out for the soap dodgers, you know, let them think they have a chance for a little bit longer

 

[King-Gutho94]

There goes that plan.

According to the paper though it doesn't really matter if we finish 1st or 2nd in our group. Apparently the seedings were already decided before the tournament so if we lost to Scotland and finish 2nd in our group its irrelevant we would still play the same 3 teams in the next stage regardless if we finish 1st or 2nd.

It's a stacked world cup, basically designed to give maximum exposure to India.

Lets be honest every world cup either ODI or T20 is setup for India.

It just happens these smaller countries like Australia go and ruin it for them.

I dunno, we have made our bed (the team that is with its lack of effort/preparation), part of me is darkly wanting Uganda to upset us to really teach us a lesson. Then we can laugh instead of cry.
