Two teams falling in chase of modest totals today. Chokes? Or is this term only used when SA is involved.

Screw it. CHOOOOOOKE!!!!

Pitch changed. Verrrry slow pitch at the moment.
Will change again for the semis

Australia 86. England 88. New Zealand 60. Not been a good weekend for non-Asian teams.

Rangana Herath, what a champion. 3.3-2-3-5. Best T20I spell of all-time?

A very pertinent point made there, esteemed sire

Well he certainly ****ed them ;-)

How is it possible that England won against SL but lose to Dutchland? Just proves the point that on the day anything can happen. Favourites my ass...there's no real favourites in this format. 50 overs sure, but not this

 

[sand_man]

Agreed. T20 is a lottery.

Yip show me a team with some consistency over a longer period in terms of wins and we can maybe consider favouritism. In the meantime roll the dice please

 

[satanboy]

Netherlands have been pretty impressive.

Out of all the cricketing formats T20 is influenced the most by luck, but obviously skill also plays a role therefore favourites can be chosen.

Granted, skill does play a part. Let me ask you this though; if you had to bet on a winner for today's match, who would you have bet your money on, ENG or Netherlands?
How about ENG vs SL? It's ok I know the answer

What are you trying to imply, that only the favourites ever win? Lol come on Ekstasis, thats obviously not the case in all forms of sport.

We'll ignore the reference for now..

No Unhappy, I'm pointing out that "favourites" has no real effect in this format, even if you put your money on the "obvious favourites". Todays game, for one, is proof of that.

Yes that can happen in any sport, its more prevalent in T20 but that doesn't mean the favourite tag is completely irrelevant, India and Sri Lanka are most peoples favourites from the start of the tournament. They have both finished top of their respective groups.

I hope Bangladeshies can stage another upset in today's game vs Aus.

 

[NeonNinja]

128 all out. Aussies to chase that in 10.2 overs.

 

[Gulio]

Bangladesh 123/2 (16/20 ov)

 

[Wall]

They look like getting 160-170...
