Good fight back from Australia keeping the Poms to 208 after they were 0/120 odd off ten overs

Warner is the key here. 4 overs left, 40 needed, warner on 73. If he remains not out, reckon the Aussies chase this down.

I’m at the game, did they say on the tv how far the reverse sweep that Warner just hit off Ali went?
It’s the biggest reverse sweep I’ve seen.
 
Reckon Wade's really lucky there, he clearly impeded the ability of Wood getting to the catch there by putting the left hand out he blocked his run.

Yeah, he panicked.

If thats in the World Cup I reckon he'd be out. England know this is a nothing game so won't push it and better umpires in the World Cup.

It was exactly as you say, total panic when he saw Wood coming through.

The pitch was on the eastern side of the wicket square, Warner reverse swept if to the western side of the ground, watching at the ground it looked like it would've been well over 100 metres, it was massive.
 
Warner in cracking form. One shot he played off Wood, bowling right arm shitquick round the wicket, on the rise through the covers, was an absolute bitchslap, like Agassi stepping into a Sampras first serve and rifling a backhand winner. Sounded like a bull whip.

That was an amazing shot, it travelled like a missile.

They put the ground measurement up early in the piece, one side was 72m and the other 79m (down the ground was much shorter 61m I think). So if it’s gone to the 79m plus 20m it may well have been.

Cheers mate.

While it didn't go very high, it was a massive hit, he creamed it.
 
Would have preferred to see the Vics get the win yesterday - hope the draw doesn’t prove costly
 
A golden duck to Finch in last nights T20. This might get very ugly in the WC.

Namibia beat Sri Lanka today in the T20 World Cup, a bloody good effort :clap2

Namibia are in group A along with Netherlands, Sri Lanka and the UAE.
Ireland, West Indies, Scotland and Zimbabwe are in Group B, the top two teams from both groups will make up the "Super 12" of the World Cup.
I'd like to see Namibia, Netherlands, Ireland and Scotland to all get through to the Super 12.
