T20 Cricket World Cup

Hey ho. The two unbeaten teams are in the final.

England were quite jammy to reach the semis in truth. Played four against other full members, won one, lost three.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Will England reach three figures?

Yes!!!!

India charitably gave them an over of Hardik.

 

[planetgeli]

Make that 70.

Shit forecast

 

[littlebabyjesus]

16.4 overs.

Wrong format, lads.

I've bunged a tenner to the server fund too as a tax on excessive sneakiness

Please stop calling him Sky, commentators. It's almost as cringey as 'Wrighty' calling everyone by their first names or nicknames.

There are 2 Yadavs and SKY is a lot easier to say (or write) than his name. And everyone knows him as SKY.

Didn't get to see most of this sadly. Or maybe gladly looking at the score

Well done India and as littlebabyjesus said two unbeaten teams in the final, fair dos

Huge choke by the saffers there, needed 30 from 30 at one point.

I dunno. That Sky catch! Difference between needing 10 off 5 with a set batter on strike and needing 16 off 5 with a new batter (and tailender) on strike. That was a moment of brilliance that won the match.

It was a really good game, both teams playing well. Good final.

I watched this in a sea of Indians, hundreds if not a thousand on the grass on the big screen in Canary Wharf. The most bonkers thing I've experienced in a long time, those final couple of overs. Felt like I was in Mumbai, just sheer chaos.

Couldn't really see the final over as it had become a bit of a mosh pit but was so much fun. I was with a friend who had never watched cricket, a football fan, and she was overwhelmed by how much better the vibe was than watching Ingerland. I'm glad they won.
