I did predict a tie, but Ireland won so I was basically correct.

The famous Karti defence. Impenetrable.

Not sure about that MB. Just saw this on another forum.

Anybody else notice the Freudian slip made by Ian Bell when interviewed about Steve Davies "coming out".

Interviewer: "So how do you and the team feel about Steve Davies' announcement about his sexuality?"
Bell: "We are all right behind him."

Maybe thats Malteaser Belfs way of saying 'bums to the wall'

MB, quick rules question.

Are subs still allowed to keep?

by embee Thu 03 Mar 2011, 08:47

by taipan Thu 03 Mar 2011, 08:49

Ta.thought so, at one stage they could if the opposing captain agreed.

And be careful Malteaser Belf.

by embee Thu 03 Mar 2011, 09:17

2.Objection to substitutes
The opposing captain shall have no right of objection to any player acting as a substitute on the field, nor as to where the substitute shall field. However, no substitute shall act as wicket-keeper. See 3 below.
3.Restrictions on role of substitutes
A substitute shall not be allowed to bat, bowl or act as wicket-keeper. Note also Law 1.3(b) (Captain).
(b) At any time after the nomination of the players, only a nominated player can act as deputy in discharging the duties and responsibilities of the captain as stated in these Laws.

Not in the last 5 years ...but local playing conditions may override the Law

by taipan Thu 03 Mar 2011, 09:22

Henry wrote:"I thought we were in a great position to win the game, absolutely," said Strauss. "We knew they had some dangerous hitters in the back end of their batting order but with the rate climbing as much as it was, it seemed that if we just kept very patient then wickets would fall, but O'Brien had other ideas. It was an outstanding innings. Just the gall he showed to take the game to us in that situation.

And right there is why Strauss has no idea in ODI cricket. It's as if he's a captain from the late 80s who has been thrust into the 21st century and is shocked by this brave, new modern game.

You can't sit back in ODI cricket these days. You have to keep attacking whether with the bat or in the field, otherwise the opposition will be back in the game before you know it.

The bit in bold there is shocking.

South Africa show England how to deal with an associate team. Hammer the Netherlands by 231 runs.

Was he given not out LBW and tried to review the decision?

Pakistan really having issues against Canada

First 4 didn't make many and now they are 140/5 with a RR of mere 4

by Nath Thu 03 Mar 2011, 11:48

Afridi will sort them out at this rate, already 8 off 3 balls

by Red Thu 03 Mar 2011, 12:11

Pakistan faltering here.

by Henry Thu 03 Mar 2011, 12:16

Oh dear Pakistan. I'm not watching the coverage. Anything look dodgy? Or are Canada bowling very well?

by Guest Thu 03 Mar 2011, 12:17

I wonder how much they got paid to throw this one. Hopefully there isn't anyone honest in the team or we might be seeing another murder inquiry tomorrow.
