CRICKET General Cricket Discussion - 2023/24

[Sproj]

Ireland, on the verge of a MASSIVE upset here. Luckily for England, they bat really deep so should still be able to get there but man, stranger things have happened, Ireland are in this up to their eyeballs.

Ireland have also dropped a number of catches.

 

[Fernando]

Trying real hard to not get my hopes up here

 

[Fitzy]

Worth noting New Zealand bs Afghanistan is scheduled for 15 minutes time I think Ireland are well and truely likely to win this through DLS.

 

[Sproj]

England are five short. Play needs to re-start within 6 minutes otherwise Ireland win!

 

[Sproj]

Ireland win!!

 

[Fernando]

Yeww!

 

[Fernando]

A washout in this game wouldn't be too bad for us

Afghanistan winning a 5 over lottery shootout would be better

 

[Sproj]

Bucketing down.

Marcus Harris normally plays on roads down in Victoria and wa, and that's where he probably gets his 100s

Pucovski on another break from all cricket.

Mental health?

So where does Australia look for openers moving forward? It seems Will just won't make it unfortunately.

Hunt and ?? when Khawaja and Warner move on?

For the ?? the contenders I'd argue are Harris, Renshaw, Ward and Bancroft I guess. They are some very worrying options. Let's hope Renshaw's second act is a more permanent one.

Cracker of a catch from Charli in the Heat game tonight:

Knott flies from nowhere to take a screamer

CommBank Play of the Day: Charli Knott produced a candidate for catch of WBBL|08 with this one-handed stunner at AB Field

Zimbabwe have just defeated Pakistan

Pakistan's chances of making the finals look quite grim, probably need weather to wash out another South African game

Bit of a roller-coaster final over

What a win! This tournament has turned up some amazing results already, this is great for cricket.

Namibia best Sri Lanka
West Indies didn’t make it out of qualifying
Ireland beat England
Zimbabwe take down Pakistan

This is the sort of stuff that makes a World Cup grow the game.

I won't say I would have predicted that Sri Lanka and Pakistan would go down to teams like Namibia and Zimbabwe but I will say it's not a complete shock.

These Asian teams have always struggled on the bouncier Aussie pitches. Zimbabwe and Namibia both probably play on the same sort of decks as what you'd expect in South Africa, which isn't too different from what you get here.

Probably wouldn't mind it raining all today for our game against England, obviously beating them and getting the points would be absolutely perfect but it's not a bad result if it rains out.

This is footy type weather here at the MCG. I can't believe how fucking cold it is. I'm not sure how much cricket we'll see either although the covers are being removed as we speak. These Afghan fans sure make a lot of noise.

Respect man. If I saw weather like this this morning I wouldn’t have gone. Will be very surprised if there’s any cricket today. Cold, windy and bucketing down, welcome to Melbourne spring.
