T20 World Cup - Other Matches

@ARHS This time last year I was wondering if Pringle was on a path to eventual Black Caps honours.
I've since wondered if he'd decided on the Netherlands early on, or whether he made a pragmatic decision about his chances when the Netherlands came knocking. Either way, I guess I was surprised at the time the news broke.

@Donsteppa Felt to me like his Dad was plotting a fast-track career path all along. The change to being a spinner surprised me but worked. It would seem that they used mum's heritage to get Tim as many opportunities against higher class opposition as soon as possible. Not sure he would have got same so quickly by staying here in BOP. Hitting Ashwin for 6 first ball made me smile. The 19 year old in Dutch team looks good too. I do hope that these second tier cricket nations will keep getting more competitive.

Can they still change from Tier 2 to Tier 1?

Yes, no stand down period for him to change 'up' to a team he already qualifies for.

Zimbabwe beating Pakistan shows that anyone can beat anyone in T20s. And they were one of the favourites.
Pakistan rely very heavily on Babar Azam. If he doesn't fire they tend to struggle. I'd be interested to see stats where if he scores less than 15, how often to Pakistan actually win? Azam is some player but the rest of their lineup is a bit fragile in comparison other than Rizwan who appears to be a T20 specialist.

Aha, the move makes a lot more sense to me now.

@Donsteppa ironically Sydney is not raining, so we should at least play tomorrow and hopefully put a gap on the rest

The weather is ugly. It’s not only raining but it’s turned cold too. I’m not sure the players will be charging out of the sheds to play

So if England vs Aus is abandoned this will help us no?

Depends I don’t want Aus getting any extra chance, historically if they lose early they come back hard, probably almost put money on them to win now

But can we trust England to put them away when it really matters? All they had to do was beat Ireland, and we were robbed a chance to lock down one spot by weather

Chaotic scenes as 5 needed off last ball results in a stumping. Players shake hands and walk off.
3rd umpire rules keeper took ball in front of the stumps so its a no ball. 4 needed off 1 ball. Free hit.
Bangles held on and win by 3 runs. Only watched highlights and looked a fun match.

Now a heavyweight match with Proteas getting 5 wickets by the 11th over.
India now 5/84 after 13 overs.
