ICC World T20 2016

[MDFC Manager]

Maxwell and Smith getting in some nice match practice on a predictably flat pitch...

 

[Samid]

Sami is a useless knob. Could this please be his final international game?

 

[Xaviesta]

C'mon Watson, get out LBW just for old time sake.

 

[Samid]

4 overs for 53

 

[MDFC Manager]

4 overs for 53

For all their supposed fast bowling riches, it's incredible that Pakistan still have to go to shite like Sami

 

[ha_rooney]

Half this side should be put into mandatory retirement.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Ffs look at Smith taking the absolute piss there

 

[KM]

What the feck

 

[Nighteyes]

Not great captaincy from Afridi. Thought it was strange to remove Wahab from the attack just after he had gotten two wickets. Allowed Smith and Maxwell to settle.

What a shot from Smith

 

[ha_rooney]

Smith

 

[Skills]

wtf why didn't he just aim for middle/leg stump?

 

[MDFC Manager]

wtf why didn't he just aim for middle/leg stump?

Incredible. Toyed with his mind successfully

 

[Krovv]

Why didn't Wahab just bowl at the stumps?

 

[Nighteyes]

The Aussie attack doesn't look all that great. If Pakistan bat sensibly they are still in with a chance.

 

[Krovv]

Bye bye Pakistan. No way are they chasing that down. Unless Sharjeel goes mad and gets 160 in 70 balls. The rest might score 34...

 

[ha_rooney]

I'm fairly certain the Aussies have won this... sets up the India-Aussie game nicely.

 

[NinjaFletch]

Listened to England beat West Indies off the last ball, 9 down.

Meanwhile Bangladesh got trashed by Pakistan, in the televised game.

*grumble*

Incredible that two days in a row an Indian team were almost out of the tournament, if England had lost this match the Indian Women's team would have been eliminated but now they still somehow have a chance.

Sounds like both of you watch a bit more womens cricket than me. Whats the story with Lydia Greenway? Seems like everyone rates her, but I don't think I've ever seen her play a decent knock. Normally when she does get a score she does it so slowly that it doesn't make the slightest jot of difference.

 

[Samid]

Bowl 6th stump line to Sharjeel and he will struggle all day.

 

[Krovv]

Not sure why but I'm rooting for Pakistan here.

 

[Xaviesta]

Not sure why but I'm rooting for Pakistan here.

A Pakistan win would ruin Australia's net run rate so it'd be in India's best interest for Pakistan to win.

NRR doesn't mean a thing for India unless there is rain forecasted for Ind-Aus.

 

[Skills]

Shehzad

 

[Akshay]

Well done Shehzad, well done.

 

[Krovv]

Is it just me or are Pakistan really shite at running between the wickets?

 

[Samid]

Ramiz 'Oh yes' Raja needs to calm down.

 

[KM]

Ramiz is the most biased commentator ever. Absolutely rubbish.

 

[Xaviesta]

Ramiz is the most biased commentator ever. Absolutely rubbish.

Ravi Shastri would give Ramiz Raja a good run for his money in the biased stakes. Shame Bill Lawry isn't 10-15 years younger as twenty20 is right his alley as a commentator.

really? Ravi is annoying but I dont think he is biased as such. Harsha bhogle is a bit biased though as he goes full on praises for even a half decent shot Rohit Sharma and Ajinkya Rahane play.

Edit- to be fair, he does that to any "technically astute" batsman

 

[Krovv]

I thought that was four. The fielder's hand touched the rope right?

 

[MDFC Manager]

 

[NinjaFletch]

This remains the gold standard of stupidity for me:

Video about half way down.

 

[Aboutreika18]

Umar Akmal, wtf was that?

 

[Xaviesta]

Wicket! Akmal bowled by Zampa.

 

[MDFC Manager]

How the hell did he miss that one completely?!

 

[Samid]

This Latif guy is pathetic.

 

[NinjaFletch]

This Latif guy is pathetic.

Surely this is wrong from cricinfo:

Ave and strike rate in bold:

T20Is 8 8 0 37 13 4.62 58 63.79

 

[Krovv]

Afridi....

 

[Aboutreika18]

Typical end of this overrated tosser.

 

[Krovv]

Pakistan need to rotate the strike a lot better. It's either boundaries or dots most of the time. They run one when they should be getting two and too many of them get out while trying Hollywood shots.

 

[KM]

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom.
