Cricket World Cup (50 Overs)

Don't they play some form of bowling "penalty" shoot out, or is that just 20/20?

The bowl out is when there is no chance of play due to poor weather, these matches will be decided by a "Super Over" where you nominate one bowler (obviously) and 3 batsmen .. the bowler has his 6 balls as usual, and England will probably nominate Anderson :scared: and 3 batsmen, if you lose 2 wickets its end of "innings"
 
Bad day to be an Englishman living in Ireland. For the past twenty minutes all I've heard is cricket chat from people who wouldn't know which end of the bat to hold.

Maybe we should sign them all up.

England are doing their best to keep the 50 over format alive.....absolute dirge of a world cup so far, except the 3 England games that have been good contests.
 
Jesus ****ing Christ! What's happened here?

England were cruising to a comfortable 100 run win or so, I come back from a meeting and Ireland need a run a ball off the last couple of overs.

Start the inquest now.

Ok. Yardy. Why?!

England only got a 35ish off last 5 overs.........Yardy using up one of those to register a stonking 3 runs. He then bowls at over 7 an over.

Trott and Bell......both out when closing in on a century and 6 overs to spare (which was then wasted by the lower middle order). If they had stayed (or one of them) we would have had over 350.

Bowling and fielding?! What the hell is going on? Where have the Ashes standards gone. Get them home and get them rested up for the summer tests I think!

Still the format of this tournament means even if we lose this one, we can still go through if we beat Bangladesh (though that is no guarantee).
