OT: Cricket World Cup 2019

[Meth]

I actually think Neesham and Guptill was the right choice for a Super Over. Maybe CDG. Does anyone know who was coming in if we lost a wicket. Guptill's running between the wicket is a lot better than Taylor's or Williamson's.

I saw CDG standing at the back looking ready to go but I’m guessing it would have come down to the situation

Never been this effected by a sports result, it still hurts 3 days later

...Never been this effected by a sports result, it still hurts 3 days later

After 72 hours I'm of the firm opinion that I'd rather 'lose' under those circumstances than 'win'.

That makes me feel a whole lot better.

I didn't watch anything after the NZ regular innings, and still haven't. I doubt I ever will.

It was on in the club last night at Panthers and I was at a work function. I managed to have my back to the screen the whole time!

 

[Blair]

...And old Marais is usually good, but he's no Kettleborough... that was so out it wasn't funny (and Taylor was not out) - f**k ball tracker, and f**k Erasmus...

The commentators jinxed him by saying he was this 'incredible umpire, the best in the business'. It went bad from there.

A South African? Probably pissed-off we've been winning the RWC lately.

They won’t admit it but it must feel a bit hollow for the England fans.

Getting past my PTSD slowly

See Ireland are looking at a very chasable target to beat England in a test at Lords

And bowled out for 38. Welcome to test cricket!

My PTSD also becoming 'manageable'! Although, I still haven't seen any of the footage.

PTSD ongoing for me

Yeah I’m not over it, and too scared to watch the replay

Oh, I will never ever be watching a replay. The details of that match will be locked in a very dark room deep in my subconscious. Fortunately I cannot recall much of the 2nd half of the game as I was blind drunk.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Yep can never watch that again. But that was one hell of a sports game and I'm glad I stayed up the whole night watching it.

Writing the above has forced me to recall my memory of going to bed at 7am after the game - I'd suppressed the memory before now. I think I do have PTSD.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Can we stop posting about it already? I’d almost repressed it.

 

[vvvrulz]

This feels like an AA gathering

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Guppy hit 80 from 30 today, yay

Ben Stokes does it again

Unbelievable

Ben Stokes does it again

Unbelievable

Amazing scenes at Headingley. I had to call it a night when Stokes was about two from 90 balls! But he was still there and the crowd were getting vocal with every run.

Bairstow really caused the momentum shift with his positive 36.

I really want to go to a cricket match in England one day.

 

[TheDMC]

Meanwhile nz have Sri Lanka five down for not much..5 more wickets two more sessions... cmon you bastards
