Group B - Pakistan, England, Netherlands

England to make 143-7

 

[Scaly piscine]

Will be amazed if England score more than 7 an over off Pakistan's spinners - that's the problem along with England's pathetic death hitting.

Time to see if Shah can do anything in a pressure situation.

Why does Shah come in before colly.. Poor thinking from England..

Not starting promisingly.

Khan done his homework on him, got men on the square and straight drive.

Nah, makes sense. Colly is a better finisher I reckon.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Let's guess what Shah makes. I'm going 6 (13).

Choke time now.. spinners on..

11.05 rpo is NOT 11 POINT 5. It never will be.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Offies bowling no balls. No excuse, is there?

& 4 from the free hit.

 

[four_or_six]

Surprised with the bowling choice again... would have thought Ajmal or Afridi would be tried first.

 

[superkingdave]

KP to be out LBW sweeping Afridi

Depends on what language you're speaking, doesn't it? I know some people at work who say that because they're using a direct translation, and 11.5 they say as eleven point fifty.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Impressive econ from Afridi. To go for less than 6 per over in this format is very, very good.

No. No, no, no, no, no. Just no. Unless you want to piss the entire concept of place value up the wall.

Or else how do you differentiate between .05 and .005?

Watching WI and Pak in the field is actually irritating. Its insulting any form of intl cricket.

I would not be too critical of the Pakistanis.. It's their Usual style...

 

[stumpski]

Dammit, trying to watch this is not conducive with cooking a roast dinner.


Been putting it on 'Sky pause' but then I'm out of sync with the comments.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tipping a run out here, just quietly.

Worst two runners in the team.

 

[superkingdave]

Lol at Shah falling over

 

[BoyBrumby]

Seen worse actions than Ajmal's, but can see why questions might be asked, tbh.
