Proper Mannies Cricket

[Donanddusted]

Anyway, I always thought that in a tie the team that lost the fewest wickets was the winner, that would be a more sensible way to decide it.

Indeed. Bast@rds!

Nothing better than celebrating a dodgy victory and passing it off as a great one. Insufferable.

And how was that throw that deflected off the batsman for 4 allowed to count?

England really are jammy f@cking b@stards.

That's what gets me.
That 4 overthrows got the Wendys back in the game.
It's within the rules but the rules are wrong.
That simple.

Not that I support England, but that overthrow are OK. Given the state of play, I don't understand why the kiwi fielder there to the stumps.

Would have never happened in Aberdeen grades cricket.

Poor fielding. Stokes was so wide of the crease when he dived home that there’s every chance the return would have gone for overthrows. Poor fielding too when the boy forgot to check his position and trod on the boundary rope when trying to catch Stokes’s skied effort. These are basic fielding errors caused, probably, by the adrenalin and nervous energy these guys were running on. That straightforward dropped c&b too was NZ’s own doing.

The rules are clear, and are accepted by all teams who enter the tournament, which despite my preference for the Proper Mannies’ athletic chess of a five-dayer, provided the most outrageously-exciting hour of cricket since that Sunday morning at Edgbaston in 2005.

I felt sorry for New Zealand. I thought their fielding, especially the placement of boundary-denying men inside the inner boundary, really pinned England’s shot-makers down, and I saw it going the same way as the Headingley test v Sri Lanka, which was a brilliant day out.

It’s been a terrific tournament, and now the Ashes to follow. Yas.

Proper. Mannies. Cricket.

Interesting. I did think this at the time. If they had completed another run while the ball was heading to the boundary, would this have been 7 runs? Kane should have questioned it
