Ben Stokes, what a player.

Pakistan knows this is the 50 over World Cup right? All out for 105 in the 22nd over.

Edit: The game was over before 11pm Australia time haha. Windies hit the target in their 14th over. T20 games are longer.

ClubFlames · 05-31-2019, 08:39 AM

Yeah Pakistan got trashed by the Windies.

Entire match was finished within 35 overs combined.

Good strategy for WI to kill it off as fast as they could.
Net run rate could be important for a playoff spot.

Colour me surprised, that's like an associate score!

Pakistan will either go 0-9

Or they will get destroyed by WI and England then win 9 straight to take the trophy.

There is no in between.

Highlights from the Pakistan - West Indies match:

Good morning cricket fans! I've been camped out on the couch since 3 and am so far thrilled with my decision, as New Zealands bowlers are tearing through Sri Lanka. Score is 60-6 in the sixteenth over!

GirlySports · 06-01-2019, 11:13 AM

Afghanistan getting 207 against Australia is not a bad score.

ClubFlames · 06-01-2019, 05:42 PM

New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 10 wickets.

Aussies beat Afghanistan by 7 wickets.

All the matches so far have been pretty one sided.

GirlySports · 06-02-2019, 06:00 AM

Bangladesh are 207/2 after 33 overs.

They could put up a huge score vs South Africa.

GirlySports · 06-02-2019, 07:18 AM

Wow Bangladesh put up 330.

GirlySports · 06-02-2019, 11:07 AM

Bangladesh has been really strategic and disciplined while bowling. Theyre gonna win this!

Party Elephant · 06-02-2019, 11:37 AM

Nice win for Bangladesh. South Africa are in trouble now at 0-2 with India up next. They were the class of ODI cricket just 2 years ago.

FireGilbert · 06-02-2019, 11:32 PM

Crazy what is going on in Asian cricket with Bangladesh and Afghanistan on the rise while Pakistan and Sri Lanka are falling fast. It will be interesting to see if this continues.

Oh and what's the deal with India getting all this time off at the start of the tournament? Every team has played a game, and South Africa 2, but we need to wait til the 5th to see the Indians. Definitely a strange scheduling quirk.

GirlySports · 06-03-2019, 07:41 AM

1. Pakistan just got 348 on a pitch that does nothing. England should chase it down easily. I dont know why they play World Cup matches on pitches like this.

2. India requested to start late due to IPL finishing late.

Girly, did the Willow channel just drop for you too?

I'm not watching, at work

Party Elephant · 06-03-2019, 11:00 AM

Oh good it's back.

This game could go either way now with Root out, but I think Enlgand will chase down the remaining 86 runs in 9 overs as long as Buttler stays at the crease. If he gets out then it's advantage Pakistan.

GirlySports · 06-03-2019, 11:33 AM

England need 38 with 18 balls left.

Down 6 now, Butler is gone.

I'm stuck with radio.
