Malinga the Swinga Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yep, although will not take off till super 8's. Here's hoping England get knocked out by the Irish tonight, as they are becoming just a little too cocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have been out which would have sent Sky commentary team into such despair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I love the 20/20 stuff however the way games are resolved if it rains is a farce. England could have gone out after only fielding 11 of the 40 overs they were meant to field in the group stages- this would have been an absolute farce. I don't understand how the game can't just be delayed until the following morning if it rains. Makes a mockery of the sport imo when 1) West Indies win 1st group game by only having to bat for 6 overs 2) England go through after 2nd game because they hit a higher total against Windies than Ireland managed. This all after Ireland only get the chance to bat 2.2 overs v England. Don't get me wrong i think England would have come through teh Ireland game but Ireland should have been given a fair crack of the whip (and thats from a supporter of the English cricket side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Treasurer Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 How can anyone take seriously a sport in which someone wins/loses because it's raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
