Lesser forms of cricket thread

Depends on the game, anywhere from 2 1/2 hours to 5 mate.

I am thrown off on the couch here relaxing like a king. This is the life.

Eoin Morgan gone for 5 off 9, Eng now 101/4 through 10 overs.

India after turning this around with 2 quick wickets from Yuvraj. They are 1/2 in running now :strokechin:

England finish their 20 overs on 157/6.

Poor total considering the start they made,they gave up 4 poor wickets to very average deliveries really. They will need to bowl out of their skins to win this.

20/20 series here getting very poor crowds and generally being treated as a bit of a joke by the media. They have flashing lights on the bales when they are struck for fucks sake. All the teams are manufactured, so no one really knows who to support. Fitzy jnr’s U11 coach asked the kids last night who they all supported. Not one of them were even aware the Big Bash (or whatever its called) series had even started. But ask any of them about the test side and they’ll talk for hours. From what I can see, kids who are interested in cricket see test cricket as the ulitmate and T20 just confuses them.

Seems like Captain Morgan did the business yesterday. :clap:

Smashed a six off the final ball with England needing 3 to win. Hit 49 off 26 balls in total.

Pietersen dropped again for the one-day series

Makes sense. He is a test player. Try some new blood.

Tendulkar retires from one day cricket

Yeah, they’re saying it wasn’t for any disciplinary reason so that’s probably what they’re doing

Because he is going to India first.

Thirs ODI here today at the Gabba, Australia V Sri Lanka,

After 15 overs, Australia are 7/35.

That is 7 wickets for 35 runs after 15 overs. Book is open on whether they reach 50.

Match over in 45 overs. Aussie had a decent side out too.

Second ODI between Pakistan & South Africa is nicely balanced here. Pakistan need 84 from 114 balls. Nicely poised.

South Africa turning the screw here since the dismissal of khan, Pakistan now need 67 off 89 deliveries.

How many wickets do they have in hand, Harold?

6 left B. Big over there for Pakistan with 10 runs, they were struggling for a few overs. Another wicket falling would make this very interesting.

All over now. South African bowling attack gone to pot.

Saffers wearing a pink kit today, for breast cancer I guess. They are still wearing their regular dark green pads and helmets though. The result is quite hideous.

It is not really a lesser form, but in 11 minutes the English County Championship begins. I would like Somerset to win this year. They play Durham today. The early season start is a bit of a joke, by the end of May half the season is played and then they arse around with 20 20 in the best part of the summer.

braz83[/USER] , [USER=193]balbec & other cricket fans.

Who do ye fancy for the ICC Trophy? India have just beaten South Africa in the 1st match today & are currently 3/1 to win the tournament. England are second favorites @ 9/2.

Outright betting with PP.
India 3/1
England 9/2
Australia 5/1
Pakistan 7/1
West Indies 7/1
South Africa 7/1
Sri Lanka 15/2
New Zealand 11/1

Sri Lanka look a decent bet considering they usually do well at this format.
