bannedfromHandV Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Ben Stokes. I think it has to be said that by and large he’s been out of nick with the bat since returning to the team. Fortunately for him he offers more than just batting but still, it’s worrying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His T20 record is fairly middling. His best feats have been in tests and his now ended 50 over ODI career. But you're right he brings more than just his (in T20) average batting record.

veloman Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Great win for Scotland in the T20. Beating West Indies, no mean feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 England are looking very strong for this T20 World Cup, so many options with the ball and plenty of firepower with the bat. Have to be favourites surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 West Indies out of the World Cup after losing to Ireland (having already lost to Scotland). Ireland hammered them too, 9 wicket win, what the heck has happened to the Windies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 England making hard work of this, should still get home easily enough but not made as much of a statement as I thought they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 Pitch isn't the deck I think the commentators thought it was. Also the boundaries are test size so not surprising it's a low scoring game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 The NZ Australia game was a much better spectacle. Some amazing batting from NZ. Eng Afghan looked like a bowler's wicket, hard to know what to make of that performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villadevon Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Unbelievable finish to the T20 Pakistan v India game, I thought India were dead and buried. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Pakistan threw it away although Kohli being Kohli again and influencing the officials for that no ball (above waist) call in the final over - looked very marginal to me and harsh given the context of the match. That Nawaz then bowled a wide immediately after is all on Pakistan (well, him specifically) of course. Probably game of the tournament taking everything into account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 England needing 95 off the last 10 overs after only hitting 3 boundaries in the first 60 balls... big ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Well after my prediction of being tournament favourites England have looked anything but that in games against Afghanistan and Ireland, piss poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Incredible finish, Zim win by 1 run with a last ball run out. Brilliant bowling by Zim, especially Raza, and the keeper pulled off a superb stumping. One of the best games of T20 I’ve seen on a bowlers’ track.

Milfner Posted October 27, 2022 Author Share Posted October 27, 2022 The boundary sizes are still definitely more Test than T20 but it is a great leveller & is providing some tight finishes. Brilliant win for Zimbabwe, Pakistan must be devastated - should havetwo wins from two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 England about 10-20 short I think considering the lack of early wickets. Still should be enough I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 need to bowl much better than against Ireland. If we do that, it's a tough total for NZ to get. But, it's win or bust for us now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
