Cheers.

 

Scotland about to be defeated against team that has been hammered in every other game.

 

Pitches in UAE maybe unfamiliar. 

Doesn't help when your top 2 batsmen in Coetzer and Munsey don't play/score. Presuming Coetzer injured, Munsey was run out.

Australia v South Africa ended in a tie. Australia went through on the nonsense of net run rate. There was no super over.

 

England v New Zealand ended in a tie. England won after a super over which was also tied, having already finished above New Zealand, beaten them in the group stage game and scored a higher net run rate. In other words, there were no other methods to separate the sides which could've resulted in a New Zealand win. It's just that, when England tie a World Cup game, all hell breaks loose.

 

Hear what you are saying, but both New Zealand and SA knew the net run rate rule applied. England v NZ however; the umpires made a huge error in adding an extra run to England's total. Inexcusable.

Coetzer was suffering dehydration after innings yesterday. 

 

Maybe playing in successive days was too much.

Forgot about that

 

Not only did they win by scoring the same amount of runs as their opponents, they got a run they shouldn't have had to match their opponents score.

Scotland and the other qualifiers including Ireland, Holland and Namibia join Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the initial group stage of the T20 World Cup in 2 groups of 4. Starts October 2020.

 

4 teams then qualify for the final 'Super 12' which includes likes of England and Australia.

It's the deciding leg of the New Zealand versus England T20  5 match series

Scores level at 2-2

Rain reduced it to an 11 over game
NZ 146-5 (11 overs)

England need 16 off the last over to level and get it including a 6 just inches over a fielder and a 4 off the last ball to level at 146-7

Super over England 17, NZ 8-1

Think the Test matches should just go straight to a super over? 😁

The obvious first tiebreak when both teams score the same number of runs is to look at the wickets column, before you contemplate super overs, or even more obtuse boundaries scored.  It would be like ignoring "away" goals in a drawn Champions League tie and going straight to penalties.

 

It's a manufactured situation to create drama for the spectators and TV companies.

Why didn't they go to sudden death after the super over.

 

Alternate balls, whichever team scored the most runs of an individual ball wins.

 

One day cricket is all about winning by scoring more runs.

 

Nothing else should come in to the equation

The rules were set before the competition, so both teams were aware of how a tie break would be decided.

 

As you say runs are deemed to be more important than wickets, but should it really matter how they were scored. The side scoring the most boundaries was deemed to be better than the side with more scoring shots despite the total number of runs scored being the same.  I believe that tie break has been dropped for future competitions.

I know the rules were set. I've just put my theory as to what they could have done.

 

One day cricket is all about scoring the most runs to win so why set rules that can lead to there being a chance that might not be the case.

 

It wouldn't have been hard to give each team an extra ball each if still tied after one over. Just keep giving them an extra ball until a team scores more runs from their respective single delivery.

The new tie breaker is another Super Over until a winner.

Doing it after 1 ball would be nuts though Sailor 🙂 Imagine, it takes about 10 minutes to get set up, bowl the first ball and it's a dot ball. Everyone troops off, opposiion batsmen get padded up, bowlers warm up, team decides bowler and sets field, out comes the batsmen .... and it's a dot ball. Everyone troops off, batsmen get padded up, bowlers warm up, team decides bowler and sets field, out comes the batsmen .... and it's a dot ball... and repeat. It would take the best part of 2 hours to get through the equivalent of an over each if it went that long 😋

Good point

 

Maybe have 2 batsmen exempt from fielding
