*Official* Match 35 - Australia v Canada

[Jayzamann]

Take that, grass!

 

[Jono]

I'm pretty sure almost an identical thing happened at the T20 WC last year, don't remember anyone chucking a spaz then. Not on IMO, not on at all.

Never had good body language as captain really. In the field anyway.

 

[TumTum]

Wats happened?

 

[Spark]

Wats happened?

More or less, skied ball, Ricky called for it, Smith didn't notice, Ricky took and lightly bumped into Smith. Ricky then hurled the ball into the ground in fury and basically just stood there grumpy while everyone around him looked awkward.

Can't recall him taking it out on a team mate like this tbh. A few angry words sure, but in such a public way?

And now no one seems to want to go near him.

 

[vcs]

Should not be forgotten that whatever happens from here, scoring 200 against Australia's attack is a great effort by Canada. Kudos.

 

[Jayzamann]

So that is now both Watson and Ponting being described as "perfectionists" throughout the course of this commentary.

Hasn't taken his Swiss!

Always looked like a grumpy old man but now he's starting to act it too

Poontang starting to become Poutytang

 

[Spark]

I mean I understand being perfectionist, and I can understand being annoyed at Smith for potentially ****ing up a dolly, but you got the wicket anyway. Calm down.

 

[Jayzamann]

Hahah love Osinde's WC profile on cricinfo

Unlike Canada's other medium-pacers, Osinde has no pretensions with the bat.

 

[Spark]

Err, what's happened there?

Dropped the ball. Having a bad 20 minutes or so is Ricky. Mind you, would not like to be catching that throw myself.

 

[Daemon]

zzz piss off lee

 

[Jayzamann]

Pretty respectable return from Lee and Tait after being smeared at the start.

 

[vcs]

Cheema hasn't delivered in this tournament at all after that brilliant knock against England in the warmups. Could have been the difference between a respectable score and a pretty competitive one today.

His bowling hasn't been all that useful too. Canada's Steve Smith?

 

[Himannv]

Pretty respectable return from Lee and Tait after being smeared at the start.

What are the numbers?

 

[Jayzamann]

Lee ended with 4/46, Tait 2/34. Both got their economies below 6.

 

[Spark]

TBH from about the 30th over onwards all Lee/Tait bowled were yorkers almost. Pretty hard to score many runs off those. Only taken them 80 overs to realise it.

 

[Spark]

Good first over from Onside.
