T20 World Cup - Other Matches

Wow that was the most spectacular and skillful dropped catch I have ever seen. What an athlete the Irishman Mccarthy is. Six to Stoinis 999 times out of 1000 - but not this time. Go Ireland.

Did that hit the stumps?

And then they has the dumb

[booboo]

Fuck

Come on you Paddies. Make sure you don't get their NRR back competitive.

[booboo]

Ireland just not up to this level.

Starc too classy

Crunched some quick numbers earlier.

And at worst, with the exception of Ireland and Afganistan both winning both their matches (and we lose to England), NZ will be 2nd equal in the pool and it will come down to NRR to determine if NZ advance.

BTW if AFG and IRE do win both they go to 6 and 7 points (or maybe 7 and 6 can't remeber). We stay on 5 (if we lose to ENG). Probably reasonable odds available on that.

So Ireland ... hmmm ...

Just not up to this level. 25/5.

NRR worst case for us then.

Just make it close you Paddies.

Starc all over the shop this over

Gilly looking at ground staff at the ready ...

Not too much on the radar.

Light misty stuff a fair way out West. Shouldn't be an issue.

Coming from the West...

[booboo]

Bad guys close to hauling bad guys' NRR in.

[booboo]

Ireland aren't as awful as I'd expect them to be.

Just not as good as you'd hope.

[booboo]

Ireland keep it vaguely Interesting.

But not really.

46 off 19.

[booboo]

44 off 18

[booboo]

At least they reduced their NRR

This is the dumbest finish I've seen in a long while. 4 dots and a wicket then they take a single off the last ball to keep the #11 on strike and leave the bloke who's scored > 50% of the teams runs stranded at the other end.

Then you run yourself out to end the game

Yep. Dumb single at the end of the 17th.

Happy that they clawed back the RR

A World Cup where the finalists will likely be decided by weather.
