StanSP Posted 30 May 2019 Author Posted 30 May 2019 Originally thought 311 would be a touch too low but bowlers have done well to protect that total. Great catch from Stokes just then.

StanSP Posted 30 May 2019 Author Posted 30 May 2019 Love the catch from Stokes but people saying it's one of the best ever. Not so sure about that? He's probably done better himself anyway!
RowlattsFox Posted 30 May 2019 Posted 30 May 2019 Great win. Good to win when batter everything around but good to see we can win games when we've not been able to score huge. 311 is still a good score though.

TiffToff88 Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Very selfish of the West Indies to bowl Pakistan out so quickly. My lunch break is from 12:30-01:30 and was planning on watching a bit of the game on my break. I've had to bloody come on FT to keep myself entertained now!
RowlattsFox Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Impressive from West Indies quick's. Short ball is a great tactic if done right, the batsmen have to take it on eventually. West Indies are as dangerous as always, but the question will be whether they will be consistent enough in this format to reach the semis. I wouldn't want to face them in a semi or final. Looking forward to seeing them at Old Trafford in a few weeks, although hopefully it will be a more competitive match.

Hoping they both still have something to play for at that point, especially if the scores in their friendly the other day are anything to go by!
TiffToff88 Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 I reckon Gayle and Hope can get this done between them in 18-20 overs* *And that's being generous

To be honest I haven't even thought about the prospect of it being a bit of a dead rubber but hopefully it will mean something. Just had to check the scores from the warm up match as it completely passed me by, impressive stuff. Hopefully weather is good and we get a repeat.

TiffToff88 Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 How will this game end now? With no Hope! I'll get my coat...
Chiltern Fox Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Is it possible to get tickets on the gate for games that have not sold out?

Tickets are still available through the ICC ticketing site, many games haven't sold out. The England games are extortionate.
Voll Blau Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 Looks like there's loads available for England-Bangladesh next Saturday. Mental to think they thought they could charge up to £125 in Cardiff. Might as well have played all the England games in London given the prices they're charging.
Chiltern Fox Posted 31 May 2019 Posted 31 May 2019 The way the afghani team have improved, wouldn't be surprised if they they become the best 'stan'.
