Got a couple of 30s and 40s in CPL but its not exactly the best standardMrOneLung said:When was last time Gayle had an innings of note ?Â0 -
They've got this massive thing about their game plan being how many balls they can hit for 4s and 6s. So they end up preserving wickets for the last 5 overs. Trouble is they dot up along the way (biggest percentage of any team) and then find that the pitch isn't conducive for going big late on anyway.mid_life_crisis said:Awful T20 wicket.0 -
Pollard is retiring!!!!!0

True, that haven't adapted to conditions and have failed to keep the score moving, but I still want better surfaces than this for T20 games.Addick Addict said:

Chase thinks that because he's replaced Simmons he has to bat like him. He would have been out for 27 off 36 in the 14th over0

I do think that there is an element of it being in the heads of the teams batting first. The commentators might not major on the stats but their analysts/captains/players know full well what the implications of losing the toss are. The team that can overcome that will deserve to win.mid_life_crisis said:

Now what is so different about the pitch that prevented the Windies from going sooner?0
-
Windies finish on 142-7
Pooran & Holder combined - 55 off 27
The Rest - 73 off 930 -
It can only have been political leaving Holder originally from this squad0
-
Slightly surprised Carlos "4 sixes" Brathwaite was left out entirely also0

I can't believe it - Afghanistan have won the toss and chosen to bat against Pakistan0
-
Finally, a close game!1
-
nice to see Bravo doing the umpiring as well as the bowling.1

Big big wicket. If the last ball of the 19th goes for a boundary then Bangladesh would have been favrouties needing single figures from the last over. As it stands they need 13, big ask with new man facing the first ball of the over (I believe, unless they didn't cross whilst it was in the air, I'm following the text commentary)1

Windies win by 3 runs
Frankly, there was so much poor cricket in this game, neither team deserved to win!0 -
Good game by 2 teams that are less than average.2
-
Terrible game that also happened to be quite compellingÂ3
-
How much/what sort of cricket is played in Afghanistan?
The images of the terrain that I've seen, doesn't look conducive to a game of cricket.1 -

There is a superb documentary on the BBC called "Afghan Cricket Club - Out of the Ashes" as to how cricket in Afghanistan came about. Conditions were absolutely primitive and the guy who started cricket there put down a concrete area originally for bowlers to pitch the ball and batsmen to stand. It developed from there as a sport that united the nationÂCovered End said:How much/what sort of cricket is played in Afghanistan?

Haris Rauf bowls a 95mph swinging toe breaker. Nice!0
-
Brainless cricket from Afghanistan. Started when they won the toss and has carried on from there!0
-
I think Pakistan are by way the best team in this competition.Â
That's not to say that in a one-off game England couldn't beat them.
But for me they are odds on favourite for this competition.Â1 -
Yep good documentary that, particularly when they went to play in Jersey (or Guernsey).Addick Addict said:

Absolutely brilliant to watch.1 -
