LMAO! This is crazy but fun to watch.

Six for Four sounds like a rugby score.
--------------

I'm watching BT Sports and they've mentioned Australian Day several times.

I looked it up... a group of Ducks id called a "paddling"

How apt... The Poms are getting a FUCKING PADDLING!!


ETA
I'm getting bored now.. I want MORE WICKETS!!!

Never heard of a paddling. LOL, that is too funny.

HAHA at you bored. I can just imagine. I'm not yet, I'm waiting for that 25 ov calculation.

I am READY for an Ali wicket, tho.

Yeah?

I want these Poms to be all out before 25 overs

This is more like an olden days game... low scoring at the start.. so 3x25 over thing might be more accurate

Yeah, that's why I didn't mention 30 ov calculation. I thought England may be bowled out by that time. But I'm rethinking. This may drag on to the bitter end of 50 ov.

My announcers are very interesting. They explain everything.

What am I? Chopped liver?

Pommy announcers will put you crook

Nah, you are the best Cricket mansplainer in my book!

Besides, they don't answer my questions.

10th Wicket
TK Curran c Marsh b Tye 35 (35b 2x4 1x6) SR: 100.00

England 196/10 (44.5/50 ov) RR 4.37

Commentators opining that England have "recovered".... at one stage they required 6/ov just to reach 172.

Sure... they have 170 now, and have 10 overs left, but.... they ONLY have 2 wickets.

Sides can score 10/over for last 10, and should easily score 7 or 8 but.. again... 2 wickets is a bugger!!

They could be ALL OUT and not actually bat all the remaining overs

About an hour ago, someone messaged on the ESPN score page that "Woakes is going to hit 100 and England will win."

I laughed because at the time Woakes had a score in the 20's.

Woakes needs to be the next out so we can get this show on the road.

I don't have all night.

Your wish came true

I just saw that. Streaming was lagging so I quit listening/watching until Australia bat.

This is going to be good. England is going to try their best to get early wickets, dontcha know? And I'm betting Australia is ready to bat.

I'm trying to figure out (guess) how many overs it will take for Aust. to reach the target. Will think about it during innings break. I want to be RIGHT!

197 is a T20I score... Australia should go all out to demoralize the Poms.. do it in 20 overs

Certainly in 30 overs

Req RR 3.94

You should have put that info in a Spoiler

Okay, I will go for guessing 26 overs to target. This may not be enough but I'll go with what you say, that way I will be RIGHT.

As you know, very seldom do I "need" to be right.
