20/20 World Cup

I sat watching it live thinking I can"t believe we are going to lose to Holland at cricket! Then we got back into it and Broad bowled a great last over, but fielded like a village player!! I haven"t read the papers yet and studied what is required to go through, but the fact that we lost and didn"t tie means we "re out if we don"t beat Pakistan ( I think) !

Just re-watched the last over reminded me of when I played sixes tournaments as a kid ...

Shame for Broad who I really like as a player.

Did you see the hilarious Bopara "run out attempt" earlier?

Watching the rain at The Oval at the moment.

I love the fact they will play a 5 over game if the rain clears by 12.30pm!

Apparently if it had been a tie, there would have been a 1 over decider. Even more reason for Broad to hang on to it, having said that all 3 stumps to aim at 5 metres away !!

Yeah they play a "Super Over" - Ireland had a tie with Holland in the warm up.

It was absurd!

Ireland - I think scored 5-1
Holland 2-2

Cue the next absurdity!

Scotland vs New Zealand over 7 overs!

The last over is the craziest I have ever seen ...

Broad had three missed run outs and a dropped catch ...

Some very clean hitting.

Scotland 2/1

Going to be close!

[Honeybadg]

OMG

New Zealand thrashing the ball everywhere ...

... until they manage a run out off a free hit.

They should still make it ... but total lunacy.

[Honeybadg]

New Zealand 22 required from 2 overs.

New Zealand 1/3
Scotland 3/1

Dicey.

[Honeybadg]

In the final analysis New Zealand too good.

Scotland semi-fold under pressure - and start bowling no balls.

New Zealand looking like the have a great batting line up - no sure about the bowling!

Next game versus South Africa.

Tempted to switch my betting on to SA.

[Honeybadg]

West Indies on fire ...

Gayle at his imperious best.

Super might have a very strange line up without the distinct possibility that England and Australia will be missing.

Brett Lee"s first three overs going for 51 runs.

Gayle hitting Lee for a 105m six onto the roof of the Oval - ridiculous.

[Honeybadg]

Holland 6.6/1 to beat the miss-firing Pakistan ... got to value!
