England kicking off today, heavily rain delayed game so Scotland posted 90-0 in ten overs giving us a target of 109 to win.

Could be interesting if there is another rain delay.

Scotland win for me on this one.

I know there’s a calculation, but why is it needed in this instance. Both teams have 10 overs, so why do England not need 91 to win?

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Tue Jun 04, 2024 7:34 pm

And it’s raining again, be surprised if there is a result here.

I’ve watched cricket for 30 years and still don’t understand it

It’s because Scotland didn’t know they would only have 10 overs

Match abandoned. Great start

Lose to the Aussies next up and we are already in trouble.

Handy start to the tournament for Ireland. Playing India today.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Wed Jun 05, 2024 12:37 pm

England just looked underwhelming and under prepared. Lose on Saturday and we are in big trouble

Watching Ireland v India, which India should win at a canter after Ireland could only muster 97.
The commentary on Sky is absolutely dreadful. Not sure who they are, but they are just talking over the cricket rather than about it. Just put it on mute. Oh for the days of Lloyd, Gower, Botham, Garner et al. Insightful commentary with a bit of humour.

Holding, not Garner.

Yanks going well against Pakistan. 76-1 off 10 chasing 160.

Disappointingly, the big lad isn't keeping wicket for Pakistan.

Super over

I'm a Yankee doodle dandy......

Come on

Proper village stuff from Pakistan.

They are crapping it.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Thu Jun 06, 2024 8:50 pm

Not great cricket, but a red letter day for USA and Pakistan.

DCWat · Post by **DCWat** » Thu Jun 06, 2024 8:50 pm

Might even get a few more Americans liking cricket, a win like that.

Clarets4me · Post by **Clarets4me** » Thu Jun 06, 2024 10:17 pm

Brilliant result for the USA, should light up this tournament ...

Let's hope there is no funny betting patterns with Amir bowling the super over and managing 3 wides in 6 balls.

Oh for the days of Richie Benaud.

Come on, England!!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 6:03 pm

Great 1st over from Moeen.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 6:04 pm

Both spinners opening the bowling!

Oooops.
Jack's not the lad.

That first was far too full.
He just never recovered. Top lads he's looking down the wicket at though.

Shocking start!

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 6:17 pm

Sloppy bowling so far. 50 partnership in 3.4 overs is crazy.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 6:32 pm

Desperately need another couple of wickets.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 6:45 pm

100/2 off 9.3

Maxwell and marsh now going well,not looking good.

Taffy on the wing · Post by **Taffy on the wing** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 7:16 pm

Bit of a fightback here.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 7:38 pm

They've also had a bit of a rub, the Aussies.
A couple of mis timed shots going safe.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 7:48 pm

Way things were looking, think we've limited the damage a bit.
201/7

I concur.

Even if the match was boring or interrupted with rain, the punditry was still entertaining.

LeadBelly · Post by **LeadBelly** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 7:53 pm

Not as bad as it looked at one stage. We have some big hitters in our line up but Oz have a good set of bowlers. Depends quite a lot on our first 6 overs I guess but Oz must be favourites.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 8:16 pm

Good over!
31/0 off 3

Sir Garfield looking well.

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 8:19 pm

Steady start. Let’s just hope if the worst does happen tonight the weather plays fair for our last two games

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 8:22 pm

Was it Accy Wes Hall was with?
He's looking in fine fettle too.

Phew.
Don't you just love a Six like that against the Aussies.
