T20 World Cup

I did read a harsh but fair comment on the ABC Facebook page:

"The Loch Ness Monster has been sighted more times than Cam Green"

In the series against India in the leadup to the WC, I was far more interested in the ODI results than the T20 results. I still value that form of the game more, you need a better all round team to win. I've been watching a bit of this WC as the times of the first game are good, though there are a lot of shit games it seems. The finals should be better viewing.

@Dodge first day of treatment a couple of weeks ago, as soon as he heard my accent about the second thing one of the techs said was "are you a cricket fan?".

One guess as to where he was from though.

Sao Tome and Principe?

Guinea-Bissau

I’m absolutely loving this tournament yes it’s hit and giggle but the chance to watch the minnows play I find a great watch. Like last night found myself watching the Zimbabwe Aus game instead of the Crusaders Highlanders game.

So lost toss, NZ first game outside of Chennai too. Can we win the group? South Africa surely favourites lol

Nz to bat first

Rabada keeping us quiet Ngidi pouring out runs..

Bugger, was starting to get fun

Need to maintain momentum hopefully

Allen almost holing out but now 30 off 13 lol

Yeah, just get Allen on strike, that's your job for now Rachin.

Loving the rugby banter

51/1 after 5. Rachin finding some runs even if lucky to be still in, hopefully finds some form

Great catch and Rachin out at least he got a couple of runs, six was good just no patience, need a good little partnership now

Allen throws his wicket away game starts to ebb back to bring South Africa back into this. Doull thinks 200 min needed on this deck

Maharaj skittles Phillips NZ 64/4 and in a bit of trouble, game turned in two overs

Moonhead jnr special required

Chapman shoulda gone, woulda been quite the catch, but insult to injury and it goes for four.

If that stayed in the hand and he didn’t go into the boundary would have been catch of tournament qualifier

Mitch struggling with a bit of rhythm at the moment, Chapman looking more likely

That was horrible fielding by the saffa there. One of those moments that makes you wonder...

Dew coming in to play now, ball skidding faster, saffa fielding pretty impressive apart from the last couple of balls

2 good overs for NZ 29 runs total from them

Weird review, you clearly heard it hit the bat.

Terrible review lol

I’m guessing they thought hit pad first… but were way off

Chapman gives it away after a great 48, brought us back into this

Oh wicket brought in the squeeze 2 from that over and NZ losing a bit of momentum

Satnav 1 from 5 so far uncharacteristically off the ball

So the brakes cause Mitch to get out….. fcuk

Satnavs awful innings concludes, lost momentum with him out there uncharacteristically

Well NZ threw that away. SA bowling and fielding been very good but on this wicket NZ should have been better. Nz limp to a below par total of 175

Saffas off to a great start going to need wickets

It'll be over in ten more overs at this rate...

Nz bowling not great either, Markram feasting

Ok I'll try popping out for ten minutes

Lachy gets the breakthrough

If you stepping out brought on that wicket, time for a drink

Didn't even get a chance to put my jacket on
