Cricket: International Discussion Thread

That's the thing about cricket - we have supposed records - but there is no standard ground size.

Same with golf. What's your point? We can't have records for sports where the playing field changes?

You have records for the field. Like in golf.

Stats like "Australia has the record for the highest chase in T20" shouldn't really matter when it was achieved on a bowling green

Golf is predominantly an individual sport, and not country Vs country.

Doesn't every other major team sport have some of standard for grounds?

Saffer Tom Curran denies NZ a close victory.

There is actually a min ground size for cricket. Issue is as it was only introduced recently grounds that had already hosted international games before then have special permission. So Eden park while it doesn't meet the regulation is allowed to be used.

I watched toward the end. That ground and pitch was a joke.

Looked like a rugby field, modified for cricket.

All NZ grounds are modified rugby grounds.

ENG 335/9 (50.0 Ovs)
NZ 333/5 (49.1 Ovs) CRR: 6.77 REQ: 3.6
New Zealand need 3 runs in 5 balls

So it's down to this. 3 to win off 6. To extend their winning streak at this ground to 15. And this one will be special. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Stranger things have happened in cricket. Curran entrusted with the final over again. Five inside the circle... Here we go!

ENG 335/9 (50.0 Ovs)
NZ 339/5 (49.3 Ovs) CRR: 6.85

That would've been a great game to watch.
