T20 World Cup 2024

What's the solution then

Not scheduling a tournament during the rainy season would be a canny start.

Another would be allowing longer to get the game in, everyone packing up and going home at 3pm local time is an absolute joke.

 

[Voice of fair play]

Somehow to suit the Indian market and the TV companies.

Why they couldn't have used the remainder of the day to play a full match in the game today is pathetic.

The will bend over backwards for the IPL and Hundred but the supposed pinnacle of the short format they give up with 7+ hours of playable time left in the day.

Yeah that is what always confuses me, it was the afternoon and this is the World Cup

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Why are they playing it in the Caribbean wet season anyway?

Because the IPL is more important than international cricket

 

[zebediah]

Agreed. I don’t think we would have made that adjusted target.

I always think the fewer the overs the more DLS favours the bowling side.
Wasn't there a mad occasion once when England were given a crazy total to get in like 12 balls against Australia?
Australia just bowled slow and full so we couldn't hit sixes and therefore couldn't win.

Ha’way Ireland today- if it’s the same pitch as the SA v SL game their pace attack can trouble india

That’s right. On the other hand, Mott insists that we were favourites to win against Scotland. I doubt it.

 

[Raich Carter]

What a start to the over

We’d be buggered in England then.

Still, it could be worse. Remember South Africa in the 1992 World Cup? They had to score 22 off of one ball, thanks to Benaud's zany alternative to Duckworth Lewis.

 

[Ghfd]

Its pretty straightforward really.

Where Z equals overs to play we can simply use the following equation and as you can see, the answer is very clearly 109!!!

z=@(y)2*pi*(sqrt((44.56-y)/.16)+1).*sqrt(1+(1./(.32-.32*(sqrt((44.56-y)/.16)+1))).^2);
y=0:.01:10;%
A=trapz(y,z(y));
syms y(t)
eq=2*pi*(sqrt((y-44.56)/(-0.16))+1)*sqrt(1+((1)/(-0.32*((sqrt((y-44.56)/(-0.16))+1))+0.32))^2)

3 obvs

Haway Ireland batting first

Arsdeep should only be allowed to play post watershed

 

[Ghfd]

7 for 2. They are not arsdeep but neck deep in trouble the Irish

 

[no_salmonpants]

Ball nipped but that was horrendous foot movement

 

[Ghfd]

Plenty of bounce in this pitch

 

[no_salmonpants]

Looks very tricky out there

 

[Boo]

Some of the Ireland and Netherlands players have been around for about fifty years.

 

[Ghfd]

Done by pace and bounce by Bumrah

36 for 4 off 8

why is the baseball guy commentating ?

why is the baseball guy commentating ?

USA representative and this game is in USA

Trying to spread the game and they have the t20 league these days

Earlier on I read Pat Cummins of Australia has signed a four year deal to play in the American T20

Another one who has no interest in the 16.4 that is played at the same time

Another one goes 44 for 5
