*Official* Australia in England T20s and ODIs

[superkingdave]

Rotating the strike obviously a concept lost on Denly

Probably thinks the first wicket has fallen and he's batting with the tail

 

[superkingdave]

Anyway, may Australia have realised if they leave the bowling pp till later on England will probably be all out by then.


BTW who gets precident over taking the PP, if it gets to over 40 and no one has used theirs..who is forced to use it first?

The playing conditions don't really seem to say. The batting side has to inform the umpire earlier than the bowler though.

A batsman must nominate his team’s Powerplay no later than the moment at which the umpire reaches the stumps at the bowler’s end for the start of the next over. The fielding captain may nominate his team’s Powerplay any time prior to the commencement of the over. The umpire who will stand at the bowler’s end for the commencement of a Powerplay block shall determine which side first made the request.

Should either team choose not to exercise their discretion, their Powerplay Overs will automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (i.e. in an uninterrupted innings, one unclaimed Powerplay will begin at the start of the 46th over).

Could create an interesting situation.​

Is there actually a difference between the batting PowerPlay and the bowling PowerPlay, though, aside from who nominates it? If you get down to 40 overs and no-one's taken it, then you just have two PowerPlays to come. Doesn't matter which is which unless of course there's a minor fielding restrictions difference that I'm not completely aware of.

Is there any difference between the batting and bowling powerplay though, in terms of field settings?

Edit: Beaten

I wonder if England have been playing 2 player ICC 2009.

On that the batting team don't get to choose their power play, it just starts at over 46!

I think we're reaching worst selected England XI ever. Sure there have been worse sides because of lack of personnel available and blind faith that player x would develop into something decent. But it's just chock full of players that should not be in the side on any basis.

Five of the top six should not be playing. Arguably more than that. It's ****ing pathetic.

Loving how Strauss has outshone most of the other ODI specialists thoughout this series.

The selectors hands are completely tied now by the Champions Trophy, that's a big problem. Otherwise people like Bopara and Shah, who imo had a reasonable case for starting the series, could be dropped.

Class does usually win out.

Loved that wicket so much. Had $100 on Denly to score less than 46 and he got out for 45.

 

[TT Boy]

Nice shot from Denly.

Deja vu.

So you'll get what about $101 back?

He was only 20 or so at the time; was paying 1.85.

Pretty profitable bet then.

If the spectators have any sense they'll all be heading to the bar about now.

Tendulkar has scored 44 ODI centuries. England's had only 90 odd ODI hundreds in their entire history...

Actually, that is a really good thing about the ODIs, having chance to get a drink without missing too much. In the T20's you can hardly get a drink because the queues are huge and the break is really short. And don't even get me started on the ridiculousness of the number of ladies toilets at cricket grounds.

That's quite possibly the most hilarious thing I've ever read.

Also, cashews are ****ing awesome. If they weren't so ****ing expensive I'd eat them for every meal.
