Pakistan need a modest 128 against Bangladesh. Currently 10 overs down and only 56 on the board. They need to get a wriggle on.

^ A slight wobble, but it's a walk in the park for Pakistan.

One Sri Lankan cricketer staying on while his teammates fly home

Star Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka charged with rape in Sydney
6 Nov, 2022

Sri Lankan cricketer Danushka Gunathilaka has been arrested and charged with the alleged repeated sexual assault of a Sydney woman he met through an online dating app.

Detectives from the State Crime Command’s Sex Crimes Squad and Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command commenced a joint investigation following reports a 29-year-old woman had been sexually assaulted at a home in Rose Bay.

Gunathilaka was taken to Sydney Police Station and charged with four counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

Detective Superintendent Jayne Doherty from the Child Abuse and Sex Crimes Squad said the pair had allegedly matched on a dating app.

I was just reading that. He raped her 4 times in her own house throughout the night and she wasn't able to alert a neighbour or friends?

It isn't difficult to imagine how someone could be deprived of the ability to alert a neighbor or friends in these circumstances.

Is it?

Do hope you're just enjoying an evening troll.

he met through an online dating app.... <snip> .... in her own house

So are we to assume she invited him round for a cup of tea and a chat?

Sounds a bit odd.

New South Wales police said the cricketer, who is in Australia for the T20 World Cup, and the 29-year-old woman first made contact via a dating app last weekend.

After a series of texts and calls, they met for a date on Wednesday before going back to the woman’s home in Rose Bay, police said.

For it to happen 4 times in her own house and people nearby not to have been alerted by her screaming, I can only presume he's a proper evil c.u.n.t who's probably got plenty of previous and had given this plenty of thought.

I can't see how some sort of cunning plan would be needed.

Well, you'd need to take away her phones, make sure she doesn't start screaming the house down and remains subdued while you hang around.

I can't imagine those are easy things to successfully do without a bit of planning.

He wasn't arrested until the next night by the sounds.

Perhaps he got her drunk or mickey finned her.

No consent = Rape.

If it goes to trial, we'll find out.

OK.

Clearly we see this very differently.

I'm genuinely puzzled about why you think it would be so complicated.

But never mind.

After a poor start to this competition Pakistan seem to be firing on all cylinders now. Will they face England or India?
India v England starts at 1500 today.

**harrybarracuda** · 10-11-2022, 02:36 PM

Malan and Wood out, Jordan and Salt in.

England won the toss and bowl.

**Mendip** · 10-11-2022, 06:07 PM

Wow!!

**Troy** · 10-11-2022, 06:48 PM

Well, that was a thrashing!

England vs Pakistan on Sunday.

What an absolute mullering.

There is a 95% chance of rain in Melbourne on Sunday.

Bugger. I hope they don't play 5 overs each and call it a match.

That's a pity, rain affected limited overs usually ends up as a farce.

The T20 World Cup could be shared for the first time in its history with rain threatening to wreak havoc with this weekend's final between England and Pakistan in Melbourne.

England are looking to win the tournament for the first time since 2010 having decimated India by 10 wickets in Thursday's semi-final in Adelaide, while Pakistan are looking to repeat their 2009 triumph after overcoming New Zealand by seven wickets in their last-four clash in Sydney a day earlier.

However, both sides could yet hold the trophy aloft if the inclement weather prevents at least a 10-over-a-side game from being completed across Sunday or Monday's reserve day.

There is currently a 95 per cent chance of rain on Sunday between 15 and 25mm and a 95 per cent chance of rain on Monday between five and 10mm.

Organisers have added an extra two hours to the playing time on the reserve day should it be required, with seven hours and 10 minutes now available on the Monday.

The final is scheduled to start at 8am UK time on Sunday and if play begins but is then paused due to rain, the game will resume from that point on Monday rather than be restarted.

If the reserve day is needed, play will start at 4am UK time, although the grim forecast for Monday raises the prospect of joint winners.

Rain has already washed out three matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in this tournament - England vs Australia, Afghanistan vs New Zealand and Afghanistan vs Ireland - while Ireland's victory over England at the venue was rain-affected.

Melbourne does have a venue with a roof - Marvel Stadium in the Docklands area - but there is no chance the International Cricket Council will move the game.

Tournament conditions also state that "every effort" will be made to complete the final on Sunday, even if that results in a shortened contest.

A minimum of five-overs-a-side were needed to constitute a match in the group stages but that is upped to 10 for the knockout stages.

England opener Alex Hales, who thumped an unbeaten 86 from 47 balls in his side's win over India, said: "I've got one eye on [the forecast] and it looks like an inch of rain, but you never know. Fingers crossed."

Sky Sports Cricket pundit and former England captain Nasser Hussain said: "I think five overs would make it a complete and utter lottery - 10 overs is a bit more sensible.

"Whoever is chasing has to be a little bit more switched on. England could have rejigged their batting line-up against Ireland but didn't and when the rain came down they lost.

"It's an evening to be switched on. You don't want lose a World Cup final on net run-rate."

The weather is looking okay at the moment.
England didn't get off to a dream start. Then a wicket maiden from Rashid. It is a balanced game.
