2014 World Cup T20 Live Matches Thread

[KP_fan]

First topic message reminder :

World T20 has started again...seems  like a few months back WI won it........
I think this will be turned into a 4 year event...and rightly so.

so far:

--BD beat Afghanistan........avenging their Asia cup defeat...and BD were talking up the win as if it's an achievement......well maybe it is...shows where they have set their bar or expectations. I can't be excited watching or following such a game.

--Nepal beat Hongkong.......is this a surprise ?...I have no clue where / how either of these teams stand?....and no interest either.

--and the big upset IRE beat Zim off the last ball...and that too without their stars Morgan and Boyd Rankin

jimbo fair enough saying that 20 mins ago- but since then he has had a stumping and run out

[kingraf]

England bowling well to Miller - keeping it short. In Miller's words "If it's in the V it's in the trees. If it's in the arc it's out the park" ... keep it short!

[kingraf]

big forehand for four from De Villiers

[mystiroakey]

dernbach- why????

[kingraf]

Dernbach puts it in the V - and hes fetching

[kingraf]

ten of the over already.

[kingraf]

poor Dernbach - that wides probably gonna charge him

[kingraf]

ABs hitting some serious forehands

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

The continual selection of Jade Dernbach is the most baffling in the history of cricket

[mystiroakey]

poor dernbach- 

stupid england selectors you mean

[skyeman]

Forget the David Moyes banner, get one for the England selectors over JD.

[mystiroakey]

we need to limit them to 180- we have to

[kingraf]

6 and a wide off the extra balls... Called it. It's a pity spot betting is illegal as that was easy money

[Hoggy_Bear]

Nice tight bowling from Jade there!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Hopefully that's the last ball he ever bowls for England
Would be a fitting way to end

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

This is just embarrassing now

Seriously how have they're not been changed to the bowling line up, we all saw this coming again

[skyeman]

JD can't bowl the last over surely.

[kingraf]

Reverse paddle at 91mph? This kid is a borderline genius

[skyeman]

But still, AB has played a great knock  

[kingraf]

We are watching greatness at work!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Pathetic just pathetic

[kingraf]

Lost it in the lights, shame. I once lost a ball in the sun - Bumped my chest

[skyeman]

Hopefully that's the last ball he ever bowls for England
Would be a fitting way to end

   

[kingraf]

196 is a pretty decent go.

[skyeman]

Fours overs of carnage.

[Mad for Chelsea]

great knock from De Villiers it must be said

rubbish umpiring screwing England over again for the third match in succession. Quite how it can be a wide outside off if the batsman has put himself in a position to hit over cow corner is beyond my understanding, and that's even before the batsman clearly hits the ball

cost England 8 runs, and forced them to change their default death bowling, to disastrous effect.

[mystiroakey]

I would rather start Cleverly in brazil than see Jade play another game for England

[guildfordbat]

Hopefully that's the last ball he ever bowls for England
Would be a fitting way to end

Gee thanks, Olly. So he can go and bowl like that for Surrey every week!   

[mystiroakey]

Go hales- nice start

[mystiroakey]

YESSSSS

Hales caught off a NO BALL!!!

Back in yo get lad

[skyeman]

WTF. Never a no-ball.

[kingraf]

I have very violent thoughts towards that umpire... Big wrong call

[mystiroakey]

what was wrong about it?

BANG LUMB!!!!

6

[skyeman]

The umps have been terrible this tournament without DRS.

[kingraf]

The fact that it wasn't a no-ball means it's possibly a wrong call, probably a wrong call

[mystiroakey]

10 of every over- 

even if your dale steyn- we will treat you like Jade dernbach.

Come on england

[mystiroakey]

The fact that it wasn't a no-ball means it's possibly a wrong call, probably a wrong call

I have only seen one replay- but he looked miles long.

If you have seen it again and admit it wasnt ok i believe you. But it certainly looked like a no ball at the time

[kingraf]

Lumb gone - Fantastic catch from Miller.

Morkels heel was visibly behind the line, mate.

[mystiroakey]

as said- they have only shown one replay and he looked miles long. you may be getting different coverage and they may have gone over it

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Yeah it was clearly a legit delivery his heel was miles behind the line

[skyeman]

THAT WAS A WIDE!!

[skyeman]

Hales smoking  

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Gonna need Morgan and Buttler to bat through now

[skyeman]

That could be that now, need a Morgan or Buttler special.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Morgan goes game over

[Pal Joey]

Nasser has some faith in Bopara... let's see if he's right.

[skyeman]

Good attempt from England but AB and JD made the difference.

Good luck SA.

[Mad for Chelsea]

so ultimately the difference between the two sides is the extra 8 runs gifted to SA by an umpiring howler, oh well

more seriously England needed one of Hales, Morgan or Buttler to get at least 60 rather than 30...

[Pal Joey]

wow... close finish.

[Biltong]

Mad, and a non wicket off a non no ball, eh?
