  • Zimbabwe win by 1 run!!!!
  • Incredible end to the game. Pakistan is serious trouble now.
  • Probably not going to do the case for the defence of Pakistan throwing games much good though. Incredible to lose from that position.
  • 3 off 2
    no one ever wins off that

    Wouldn't say never but usually, if a team has allowed the game to run that deep, there won't be the better or established batsmen at the crease. The game should have been won earlier but, that said, the final over from Evans was superb.

    Horrible result against Ireland for England.

    England going to have to win three from three against Aus, NZ and SL to make it to the next stage, you’d think.

    Whoever loses at the MCG tomorrow has a mountain to climb.
  • Wonder what the weather forecast is for tomorrow's match.

    About 13 degrees with a 40% chance of rain!

    Zip it AA, you don't match-fix to lose by 1 run ;) 
  • Also, have any of you seen the Mr Bean stuff between Zimbabwe and Pakistan? Unbelievable bants. The president of Zimbabwe got involved even

    Ridiculous time of year to play this tournament, they should fly the England and Australian players over, and play the game at Lord's tomorrow, where the weather will be better  :D

    A bizarre set of circumstances for Nawaz. He cost Pakistan the Indian game with that woeful final over and his "reward" was not to bowl a single bowl in this game by virtue of Pakistan playing the extra bowler. Then he had the opportunity to go from zero to hero with the bat but got out off the penultimate ball of the match. Nawaz actually had the best strike rate of any of the Pakistan players but I'm sure that won't help how he is feeling right now though. 

    Special effort from Evans though. Came into the side today and given the responsibility of bowling that final over, having gone for 7 off his first two balls, he managed to concede just 2 off his final 4 balls to return figures of 4-0-25-2. His father, Craig, who also played for Zimbabwe, would, I'm sure, be extremely proud tonight. 

    When all is said and done though, this really was a shocking capitulation by Pakistan. They required 43 runs off 45 balls with 7 wickets in hand. They made the Zimbabwe bowling attack look unplayable. And that is quite an achievement. But we know that they will come out and beat South Africa. Frustration and brilliance in equal measure. 
  • Earlier game between Afghanistan and Ireland delayed by rain
    and England v Aus at same ground in Melbourne 
    forecast I’ve just looked at looks crap

    dont know if that’s good bad or ugly for our progression

    Was wondering the same. Would a point from an abandoned game actually be good for us? It'd keep us above Australia on NRR so surely would be worse for them?

    Hopefully the weather improves though and we can get some play and a result.
  • Ireland vs Afghanistan abandoned. 

    This is becoming a farce 
  • Australia vs England likely to be abandoned too.

    Yeah it’s worse for Australia as you’d expect two wins for England and puts them out. Although if we lost to NZ we’re out when we could still have been through had we won today 
  • Stopped raining. Wet outfield. Another inspection in half an hour.
  • What a joke, seems to happen far too often with cricket and the weather spoiling it. Shame they don't add in a spot for a catch up in the event of it, or something as a back up in the event of a rain abandoned match. 
  • Forecast I’ve seen says no rain after 11.00am our time so depends on the drying capabilities of the MCG

  • Another inspection in 20 minutes, don't see how it will dry that much in such a short space of time.

    11.46am is the cut off for a 5 over a side game.
  • Match abandoned.

    We need to win our last 2 games to have a chance of qualifying, unless there are other games are called off.
  • NZ play SL, England, Ireland
    We play NZ and SL.
    SL play NZ, Afghanistan, England
    Australia play Ireland and Afghanistan
    Ireland play Australia and NZ.
  • They should have replaced it with a football match!
  • I think we'll lose to NZ and that'll be that.
  • The Aussies will be confident of progressing with two games they'll look at on paper and have high NRR victories.
    Largely dependent on the ENG/NZ game- a close game even if they lose will benefit them considering they have the easy victory vs Oz in the bank
    England do play last so if we can beat NZ we will know all the likely permutations 
  • Australia is fast becoming the rained on and flooded centre of the planet
  • So basically Aus will elect to bowl if they win any toss so they can smash the ball around to get the NRR up.

    The majority of sides who win the toss choose to bowl first anyway though.
  • You'd expect Australia to up their NRR in their 2 remaining fixtures.  England's fixtures are much tougher
