Someone's going home.

Oman won't score more than 80 whether they bat first or second.

“It looks a really good wicket….we’ll have a bowl”!

Makes no sense again.

 

[Aidan11]

This shouldn't last long.

 

[Molehill]

Best way to boost your NRR is bat for a full 20 overs, especially if it’s a good wicket. Complete lack of clear thinking and strategy again.

Maybe they prove me wrong this time…

I was going to ask what happens to NRR if we bowl them out really cheaply. I'm guessing you're limited to how much you can boost it?
So does that potentially cause a wierd scenario where we want them to score relatively slowly for 20 overs rather than dismiss them quickly?

You can tell I'm new to this.

No, if you bowl them out it still counts as 20 overs for the bowling team. So 70 all out in 10 overs would be a run rate of 3.5

Thanks, that makes sense. But would it limit how much you can boost your NNR when batting as it would only be weighted by a small number of overs?

I think you have little idea how much associate teams improved over the last few years

If you chase that down in 7 overs you’d have a NRR of 6.5 (10 - 3.5) so you can still make big gains.

Yes. Namibia put up a hell of a fight for their 72 runs against Australia.

Classic cherry picking

Avatar on bet if Oman scores less than 80. Lets see if you put your money where your mouth is

Not great from Moeen, that’s a sitter.

Joffrey is wrecking Oman

Has anyone ever seen Mo in the slips before?

Think we now know why I've never seen it after that drop.

At least it didn't cost the side.

Didn’t make any difference.
