2016 International Cricket LD

[SD619]

Impressive performance by India. They seem to the favorites for the T20WC, especially considering the home advantage.

 

[SD619]

Now due to this loss, India's NRR is -2.35. This could be a major factor later on, especially considering the strength of this group.

 

[ShinChan]

Gaylestorm is the worst nightmare for any cricket team.

England were good at batting but not at bowling.

I hope that they can bounce up back.

 

[ShinChan]

Amazing performance by Bangladesh Women. Gave good competition.

And Splendid performane by Afghanistan. Awesome 12 runs off last 3 balls. Stanikzai was awesome too.

 

[Shadowmancer]

What a game. McClenaghanaghanaghan performed well, as did Santner again

 

[CyberPunk]

Ish Sodhi did an excellent job too. His 16th over that produced only 1 run and got rid of Maxwell was crucial.

 

[ShinChan]

Awesome performance by New Zealand.

Kudos to Santner, McClenaghan and Sodhi.

 

[John McCass]

The Cricket fan inside me would wake up tomorrow before going back to a slumber again.

 

[ShinChan]

Means that you like only India/Pakistan matches.

 

[John McCass]

Thanks to all the hype

 

[ShinChan]

Lets Go India!

Lets Go Pakistan.​

I wonder if the Eden Gardens staff will manage to dry the outfield in time, or will the overs get shortened. Eden Gardens has never had the best drainage system, so it could post a challenge. But it was written in the papers that they bought a new super sopper... so let's see what happens.

 

[ShinChan]

Why Raina is selected again and again without him contributing much?

 

[Reflection]

Raina is best batsman under pressure other than Kohli. That last T20i against Australia comes to mind. That might have been a reason. Too bad he got out for a golden duck today.

Things don't look too good for India atm. They'll have to preserve wickets now if they want go win.

 

[ShinChan]

11-0
Undertaker, we are comin'

 

[Reflection]

What a thriller of a match yesterday! One of the best that I've ever seen. And that final over...
1st ball - India has the advantage. Bangladesh need 11 runs from 6 balls, and takes a single.
2nd ball - Neutral. A four to even the odds; Bangladesh need 6 from 4.
3rd ball - Another 4! Bangladesh gains advantage and looks unbeatable, needing 2 from 3 balls.
4th ball - Consolation wicket for India, but are we on to something here? Bangladesh need 2 from 2 now.
5th ball - Another wicket. Advantage back to India somehow, but Super over seems very likely. Bangladesh need 2 from 1 ball.
6th ball - Third wicket in a row and India wins by 1 freaking run.
Mindblowing stuff.

 

[ShinChan]

Exactly.

Afghanistan and Bangladesh have given an awesome competition.

Although they didn't win a match, yet they are winners in my view.

 

[Navdeep]

It was a daylight robbery in Bangalore.

 

[Барбоса]

What the hell were Bangladesh playing it?

To not score a run off those last three poor balls (the whole over was terrible) was ridiculous.

Not even sure I would call it a robbery as that would suggest India stole something. Instead, they were just given it.

 

[ShinChan]

A Quarterfinal-esque match.

 

[Khalifa]

India on charge!

 

[Khalifa]

Kohli is killing it, again.

 

[Khalifa]

Yep Australia, you blew it.

 

[ShinChan]

 

[ShinChan]

Afghanistan thus got the deserved win over West Indies.
