Thread: Cricket scores around the world

I keep forgetting the cricket is on at odd times.

WI need 72 off 58.

Never like starting the day with Duckworth & Lewis.

Aussies won comfortably today after declaring with a lead of 400+ managed to skittle the Pakistani team for 89.

England continuing with the same management after the World Cup fiasco is having predictable results.

I thought we'd won one. Did we lose again?

Did you predict this one?

West Indies vs England: Phil Salt century leads tourists to record T20I total in series-levelling win

Phil Salt hits 119 from 57 balls as England set record T20I total of 267-3 after being put in to bat in Trinidad; Jos Buttler (55) and Liam Livingstone score half-centuries for tourists; West Indies all out for 192 in response as series levelled at 2-2 ahead of Thursday's decider

Series level against WI.

Whoopee.

Almost as exciting as NZ v Bangladesh. NZ won by 7 wickets and 22 balls. NZ lead 1-0

There's no pleasing you is there.

They're ranked 7th in the world, ahead of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

They're in transition.

Funny.

England leg-spinner Adil Rashid has risen to the top of the T20 international bowling rankings for the first time - a day after going unsold in the Indian Premier League auction.

and

Salt's 109 from 56 balls in Saturday's third T20 against West Indies could not convince IPL franchises to raise their paddles for him.
But his 119 from 57 deliveries in the fourth T20 two days later must surely make him a contender to get an IPL call-up should an overseas player be struck down between now and March.

Have the feeling that the Aussie bowlers are going to make hay on this strip.

Aus 118/2

An interesting test match that went back and forth a little before Pakistan capitulated on Day 4.


but in a move seen before they claim the moral victory because they ‘played better’

I can only think since it's Sydney they are hoping it will assist the spinners in the fourth innings.

But saying that, for the opposition, Lyon's record here isn't that hot.

300+ and Davey fucking Warner almost got himself put in the one goddamned over the Aussies had to face. In a way I wish he had.
