Thread: Cricket scores around the world

DUBAI: Decision Review System (DRS) will be used in the upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup for the first time, confirmed the International Cricket Council (ICC) Sunday.
The DRS is a technology-based process for assisting match officials with their decision-making. The ICC has decided to continue with the rules of T20 international cricket and provide each team with two reviews per innings.
The coronavirus pandemic and its resulting travel restrictions had made it difficult for authorities to ensure the presence of neutral umpires across all formats of cricket.
Hence, less experienced umpires were put on the field to officiate matches. To make up for that setback, the teams were given an extra review per innings across all formats – effectively three reviews per innings in Test matches and two in white-ball internationals.
While the ICC’s Elite Panel of Umpires and Match Referees has been brought together for the T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates and Oman, ICC acting CEO Geoff Allardice confirmed the extra review would remain in place for the tournament.
Allardice said the cricket council had decided to continue with the rules of T20 cricket that have been in place over the past 12 or 18 months and not change them.
This would be the first T20 World Cup that will make use of the DRS system. Allardice hoped neutral umpires will return soon in international cricket but said it depended more on a "country-by-country" basis.
"We’re able to get all of our Elite Panel umpires here and our referees here to officiate in this tournament. The UAE is a country that is fairly straightforward now to move in and out of. The issue is in other countries which have different levels of restriction," he said.
He, however, was all praises for home umpires and said that coupled with the DRS, had done a commendable job.
"The home country umpires have performed extremely well over the last 18 months and supported by DRS, whether we need an extra review or not I think we’re in a rhythm with that at the moment.
"The aim is to get neutral officials back once a lot of those restrictions are lifted. It may happen more after this tournament but it’s very much a country-by-country assessment," he added.

In a first, DRS to feature in upcoming T20 World Cup

Maybe it's been too hot and humid.

Cooling down a lot now.

Bang v Scotland and it looks like the jocks are going to win, big scalp for them in their group

England and India are bored, so are having a warm up match in Dubai.

India need 189 to win.

India are going to get it very easily if they keep slapping the fucking thing around like they have so far.

^ Not enough variation, need to be cuter with slower balls. Also most of the Indian team have been out playing the IPL and are in form.

And sloppy fucking fielding.

Australia beat New Zealand.

Jordan giving away 21 runs in 1 over didn't help.

India win.

Ireland slapped Netherlands with Campher scoring a double hat trick

England playing another "warmup" against the Kiwis.

England have set them 164 to win.

We blow me sideways.

Amerat (Oman): Scotland beat Oman by eight wickets to enter the Super 12s of the ICC T20 World Cup.

It is for the first time in their history that Scotland have progressed to the second round of a major competition.

Scotland make history as they beat Oman to enter Super 12 of T20 World Cup

Namibia are putting up a surprisingly good fight with the ball against Ireland.

The pikies are panicking a bit. I would think they can still win it but still....

Most of their players play in the SA T20 league and are in the top saffer teams - they are no mugs

'splains it. Has the makings of a good game then.

Irish wickets are falling like dominoes.

I was about to say Namibia need to shit or get off the pot, they aren't scoring quick enough. Only one wicket gone.

21 need off 18 with 2 wickets gone.

As Brucie would say "Good game, good game, I hope you're all playing with yourselves at home".

What a finish. The pikies will be gutted. Namibia make history.

The Irish lost that after scoring 40 runs in 9 overs once the opener got out. God knows they should understand the wicket given the low scoring IPL games there. Well done Namibia. Told you they aren't mugs, wiese is quality, played all over the world.

Sri Lanka vs Cloggies next.

Sri Lanka won the toss and field.

Well that Sri Lankan national anthem is a cheerful little ditty isn't it?
