T20 World Cup, June 1-29

[Durhamfootman]

I watched the Essex v Sussex game where Graham Napier hit 15 plus

As an interesting side note, Napier later beat the record for most 6s in the County Championship, when he pummeled Surrey a few years later for a similar amount of sixes.

Left with the tailenders, his last 100 runs out of 200 he scored came off something ridiculous like 20 balls.....

Could hit the ball, old Graham.

Ben Stokes beat the record last season I beleive.

season before, I think. Against Worcester

[Arthur Crabtree]

This is all on Sky in UK. Not even highlights on freeview.

Rain delay will allow PNG to dream about a win on DL.

[Durhamfootman]

WIndies not getting this all their own way, but should get over the line

[mikesiva]

Papua New Guinea 136-8

Bau 50

Russell 2-19
Alzarri 2-34

West Indies 137-5

Chase 42*
King 34

Vala 2-28

Windies win by five wickets with one over to spare.

That was too close for comfort!

PNG have shown they deserve their place in the Caribbean.

[Durhamfootman]

can we expect lowish scores in the caribbean Mike?

[mikesiva]

I think the bowlers will be happier with Caribbean pitches than they were at the IPL!

Trumpelmann took 4-21 and Mehran 3-7 as Namibia and Oman tied on 109 each. Namibia won the super over.

[Durhamfootman]

I just wondered whether the caribbean pitches would favour the slower bowlers and USA the quicks. The USA drop in pitches, I believe, have come from Australia and so I figured they might be a bit harder than in the caribbean

cracker of a game between Namibia and Oman this morning, Namibia winning on super over...looking forward to SL vs SA this afternoon

[bigfluffylemon]

Why a super over in non-knockouts? Let a tie be a tie with 1 point each.

[Durhamfootman]

Oi! That's commie talk, mister

[Durhamfootman]

Besides, American's don't do draws

[sussexpob]

Why a super over in non-knockouts? Let a tie be a tie with 1 point each.

Extra time for the commentators to scream stuff

[andy]

SL win the toss and choose to bat, this should be a cracker!
