The Cricket Thread

Re: The Cricket Thread

Well, when you make your test debut, it pays not to play the #1 side in the world.

India 474
Afghanistan 109 103(follow on)

Only took 2 days (out of 5).

There was a great BBC story on this. The Afghans were psyched to be playing.

BTW an innings and X runs means you won while batting only once and you opponent in their two innings of batting fell X runs short of your total.

In other words, you got whupped.

Does the match (match?) automatically end if you go out down runs and have batted more than your opponent? Like a mercy rule?

This second inning looks bad.
 
Re: The Cricket Thread

Australia had a bad trip to England
ODIs - lost 5 matches to 0.
T20 - lost the only T20 by 28 runs.

Next year is the World Cup (in England) and Oz are the defending champions.

It’s incredible just how bad they are right now.

Their best two players are actually in Canada right now. Could be a good chance for you to go see them, Joe.
 
Re: The Cricket Thread

Here's a T20I summary that will have you scratch your head, unless you understand Duckworth/Lewis

Australia 158/4
India 169/7 (17 overs, target 174)

Australia won by 4 runs (D/L method)

Wow! This is HUGE!!

ODI status for the USA! 🇺🇸

After losing their opening game at #WCL2 against Oman, they've come back to win their next three to secure one-day international cricket for the first time since the 2004 Champions Trophy!

How bad are we worldwide? Soccer bad (say, 15th) or worse?

Why do we suck so hard? We're an immigration destination for many of the countries who are better. I would think we could just throw some Indian- / Pakistani-American money at it and become top 10 overnight.

There are hardly any players who were born here or have even spent much time here in the current team. The reason we’re so bad is there was never much youth cricket until the last few years. There is a lot of good work being done these days though.
 
Re: The Cricket Thread

And in today's Cricket World Cup final between New Zealand and host England that began at 5:30 AM ET

After 50 overs - tied at 241
After the one over overtime - tied at 15

England won on more boundaries in regulation.

Doko - Federer ended first by a hair.

Thank you for explaining that to me. I have no clue how to read a cricket box score.
