At home, on their slow, turning pitches they are a different team to that who travel and play on bouncier/swinging pitches.

The bash and dash by the Aussies also lifted them above the SA's run rate.

WI is the next hurdle.

Correct Dave, but adapting to conditions away from home is what elevates teams from one trick ponies. They have some talent but have relied on Shakib and Mahmu and the Fizz for too long, they won't be around to bail them out for ever.

Fuck.

New Zealand opener Martin Guptill has revealed that he lost about 4.4 kilos during his match-winning knock against Scotland in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 match played in Dubai on Wednesday.

.At best Roger Hutton’s explosive parting shot exposes the mind-boggling misjudgement at the top of Yorkshire County Cricket Club and, at worst, it reveals something far, far more troubling.As the club continues to implode because of how it has handled racism allegations made by its former player Azeem Rafiq, Hutton said in his resignation statement: “I am sorry that we could not persuade executive members of the board to recognise the gravity of the situation and show care and contrition.”
He added: “There has been a constant unwillingness from the executive members of the board and senior management at the club to apologise and to accept [there was] racism and to look forward.”

Azeem Rafiq said he was driven to tears from racial abuse he suffered while playing at Yorkshire County Cricket Club.Credit: PA ImagesAn investigation into Rafiq’s claims concluded he was the victim of “racial harassment and bullying” but that report has not been published in full and no one at the club has been disciplined as a result.
The crisis escalates on a daily basis, the former England captain Michael Vaughanadmitted he was named in the investigation but strenuously denies saying to Rafiq and other Asian players: “There are too many of you lot, we need to do something about that.”
However, Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, Yorkshire’s overseas signing at the time has told ESPN Cricinfohe heard Vaughan’s comment.

'Culture that refuses to change': Yorkshire Cricket chair resigns in racism row

Second player accuses Vaughan of making racist comment to players

Vaughan, I understand, is just one of a dozen or so current or former players named in the report.
Yorkshire CCC’s major sponsors are now bolting out of the door at regular intervals and the ECB who run cricket have suspended the club from hosting any internationals or other major matches for the time being.
The governing body, who were criticised for their initial inaction by Hutton, recognises only too well the Yorkshire debacle is damaging for the wider game. At a time when a diverse England team is blazing a trail at the T20 World Cup, the spotlight is elsewhere.
Senior ECB officials have admitted to difficult conversations with their own commercial partners, but the chief executive, Tom Harrison, has said the implications were far more serious than financial.
It is remarkable given what has happened over the past 48 hours that any Yorkshire executives are stubborn enough to stay put, but then these are the same men who were comfortable with the conclusion that someone persistently calling one of their employees “P***” could be brushed off as "banter

Oz beat WI and they are almost guaranteed to be through.

WI score 157 in a see-sawing game.

Decent enough score ... will be interesting.

Gayle and Bravo retire after this game. Gayle was signing and throwing all his kit into the crowd. Both had fantastic T20 careers, 14K runs and 550 wickets respectively.

**harrybarracuda** · 06-11-2021, 10:54 PM

Challenging target for England.

**malmomike77** · 06-11-2021, 10:57 PM

SA keep Eng below 131 and they go through and Oz are out. Eng need 87 to go through, 106 to top the group

**malmomike77** · 06-11-2021, 11:19 PM

Shame, Roy retired hurt, out for the tournament along side Mills.

**harrybarracuda** · 07-11-2021, 12:47 AM

Rabada eh, 15 an over and then he gets a hat trick at the death.

**Troy** · 07-11-2021, 01:19 AM

Australia vs Pakistan will be a good semi ...

**malmomike77** · 07-11-2021, 01:28 AM

Quite fancy the Oz from here, they seem to be hitting form as long as they don't lose finch or warner in the powerplay.

**malmomike77** · 07-11-2021, 04:34 PM

Must win for NZ against Afghan, should be a good game

Day match so very warm, but not intolerable - 31°C.

**malmomike77** · 07-11-2021, 04:43 PM

at least they don't have lottery of dew to contend with if they bat first. Its a real error making the knock out stages evening games imo.

'cos TV.

Yeah but noon is a great time to be running around on a cricket pitch in the UAE.

31 degrees tolerable - hmm. For heading off shopping maybe.

C'mon. You're a Middle East vet. Something like 31°C is almost like an invitation to pull on a jumper.

The games are sort of out of my time zone so I haven't been following them closely.

So, if it's a night time game, batting second is better?

What if it's a day/afternoon game?

Results seem to suggest so Dave, means its difficult to bowl consistently without the ball slipping in the hand. Afternoon is OK.
