Re: Cricket
What a test match in England.
Chasing 359 in the 4th inning, England wins by a wicket.
In the final overs with Australia needing 1 wicket to win the match and retain Ashes, there were drop catches, missed run out, bad review, wrong umpire decision all led to Leach getting a single and letting Stokes hit a four to end the match.
Last 10 overs they scored 76 runs on the last wicket.
now the series is 1-1-1 with 2 tests to go.

That was just incredible, what a summer Stokes is having.

Re: Cricket
Going to be yet another format next year, 100 ball cricket with 10 ball overs. Complete nonsense.

Re: Cricket
Not sure how that's "better" or vastly different than T20. It's easy to tell why T20 is so popular for the big domestic leagues in Australia, India and even the T20 league in England is a fairly big deal, though nothing as big as the IPL. Being able to finish a game in about three or so hours is critical for TV even in countries with better attention spans than the US. I don't get the advantage of 100 balls vs. 120 though.Baloney wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 8:27 amGoing to be yet another format next year, 100 ball cricket with 10 ball overs. Complete nonsense.

Re: Cricket
Saw T20 in St Kitts a few years back. Was fun to watch live. Carib T20 league is pretty competitive and could see T20 doing well in the States.
There was/is talk of bringing it to the US but haven’t heard much buzz in the past year.

Re: Cricket
Cricket is trying to get into the Olympics and I think they prefer a shorter game.
100 balls ensures the game will be less than 3 hours and is preferable to women as well.

Was watching the Afghanistan v Bangladesh before I came to work, because the start of the Ashes game was delayed, Afghanistan are in a good position to win that test.

Need 90 in 90 and hard to see how they don’t do it. Sri Lanka only took two wickets from Windies in their previous ODI.

Re: Cricket
Should be fine. They slowed down and Sri Lanka kept taking wickets but they'll make it in the end.

Re: Cricket
Windies have to chase 274 two days after barely successfully chasing 273. Sri Lanka put up 89 runs in the last 10 overs including their #8 batsman Hasaranga putting up the highest total for a #8 in Sri Lankan ODI history (80).
