20th Match - Sri Lanka v Australia

[morgieb]

0/84 off 20 is surely far too slow for a score of 334? You'd need over 8 an over for 30 overs.

With ten wickets in hand that's certainly achieveable IMO. Does make things a bit of a disadvantage for teams batting first.

Doesn't feel right to me. It's achievable but there's no way that a side would be considered in front going at 4 an over for that length of time.

That was crunched, good stop.

What a shot, Sanath carbon copy

 

[morgieb]

This is ****ed. Sri Lanka should not be this good. Sorry.

My first instinct is to agree but I can see the thinking behind that 'for 0' being so powerful.

8 an over, every over, for 30 overs isn't likely but if you turned 84/0 off 20 into 145/0 after 30 (as the app suggests is par) you've given yourself a normal T20 chase, only with two batsmen set and the best bowlers seen off.

oh hell yeah the deflection off the bat for four overthrows. best thing in cricket

Have to say this is the weakest Aus bowling line up I have seen, by a country mile.

 

[Spark]

Our backup bowlers are just the pits

 

[morgieb]

They'll chase this down in 40 overs at this point. This isn't even trash bowling.

I mean, it is.

 

[Spikey]

250 runs is still very far away

Out the house,looks a mental start. Weather looking poor?

Yeah you're right re: the backup bowlers. But even Cummins got tap and he wasn't that awful.

Get Starc back on. Or even Maxwell. No idea why the former got hooked after a second over that looked genuinely dangerous.

 

[Spikey]

lol he sucked them into a review by turning around straight away

 

[vcs]

Haven't seen anything particularly impressive about Kane Richardson apart from his Greek God like good looks.

watch langer come out in the presser and say “they could’ve chased anything today” or some bullshit
