With a couple of exceptions, the majority are barely county/state players. Many of their squad have some sort of connection with England too:Chris_from_Sidcup said:Didn't even realise Italy played cricket until today. So i looked up their T20 world cup team.None born in Italy.

I wonder if many Italians watched that match?
Hopefully Madsen is alright. Leader of Derbyshire.
Another small nation in Canada but with probably more connections to the sport than Italy are against the giants Sarf Africa. Trying to keep them below 200 in the s.a innings0 -
The Canadians need 214 in their innings. Tall ask..0

Especially when they lose their skipper first ball. You can't even back SA on Betfair, only lay them at 1.01Karim_myBagheri said:The Canadians need 214 in their innings. Tall ask..0 -
Good hearing Carbs on TMS during this Canada innings. Canada are 135/7. Their innings has just peated out.0

Bangladesh have opened the door for Pakistan to play India. They asked them to go ahead and play their game against India and appreciated the solidarity that Pakistan has shown them.
So the biggest match in cricket is back on. ICC breath a sigh of relief.0 -
Pakistan set the USA a target of 190

Following Shadley van Schalkwyk's return of 4-25 for the USA against India, he recorded exactly the same figures today against Pakistan for remarkable overall tournament figures of 8-0-50-81

this last over in the the SA / AFG game
absolutely mental
now going to a super over0 -
Incredible game between South Africa and Afghanistan that ebbed and flowed. Despite an awful final over from Rabada that included not one but two front foot "no balls" and a wide too, Fazalhaq was run out with two balls to go by inches for Afghanistan to be all out for 187and scores tied.
Super over to follow.0 -
Afg needed 12 off final over, 9 wickets down
1 - caught out, game over, wait, no ball given. 1NB
2 - 1 WIDE
3 - Dot ball
4 - 6
5 - dot ball

7 - RUN OUT going for game winning second run - tied and going to Super Over0 -
Afghanistan score a big 17 thanks to 16 (5) from Azmat0

If South Africa do lose then Rabada is to blame. Two front foot no balls and a wide simply isn't acceptable at the highest level.MrOneLung said:Afg needed 12 off final over, 9 wickets down

We have another Super Over.0

6 off the last ball to tie the super over !!!!0

Tied Super Over!!!! Tristan Stubbs smashes the last ball of the Super Over for 6!0

South Africa to bat first. Brevis can't bat because he was out and neither of the two bowlers who bowled in the first Super Over can do so in this one.0

Meanwhile Australia have big issues. Both Cummins and Hazlewood were ruled out of the tournament before it began and now both Mitchell Marsh and Tim David have been ruled out of today's game against Ireland.
Head has been run out already.0 -
What a game that was0

SA win by 3 runs0

Absolutely crazy game. No idea what South Africa were doing bowling Maharaj nor why Nabi was sent out to bat.0

Steve Smith is on the plane but he should have been there anywayAddick Addict said:Meanwhile Australia have big issues. Both Cummins and Hazlewood were ruled out of the tournament before it began and now both Mitchell Marsh and Tim David have been ruled out of today's game against Ireland.

Smith was excellent in the Big Bash.
Not sure why he wasnt in their squad to start with1 -
Australia 69-3 (7). Maxwell is now in and it will be interesting to see how he performs given how low on confidence he was in the Big Bash - just 76 runs at 15.20, 2-139 with the ball and he dropped at least three sitters.0

Exciting as the super overs were, why can't they just have a tie in the group stage?0
