MooNoi Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 In a nutshell, we were shite. Simple. Some serious soul-searching needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 England keep on winning, although only just! First Twenty20, Adelaide England 158-9 (20 ovs) beat Australia 157-4 (20 ovs) by one wicket. Which was a record eighth win in a row in Twenty20 internationals. Next one is tomorrow in Melbourne.

Pom Michael Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 England 158-9 (20 ovs) beat Australia 157-4 (20 ovs) by one wicket. Explain how to compare the score please. UK got 158 "runs" and lost 9 wickets, correct? And AU got only 157 runs, but also only lost 4 wickets. In this limited over, each team got the same number of throws (chances to hit the ball) - right?

The_Munchmaster Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 It's a mystery to me to! I was expecting "England 158-9 (20 ovs) beat Australia 157-4 (20 ovs) by one run". Someone did try and explain to me why "by one wicket" was correct but I failed to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No..and yes.. Number of wickets is of no concern...it is the number of runs collected at the end of the number of overs(throws)..six throws per over 20 overs is a match...you could be no wickets for 200 and the other team 9 wickets for 201 and they win... Having said all that if they do "throw" that is illegal and he will be banned for many years..(must bowl the arm over and not bend the arm)as in say baseball...

Torneyboy Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Extra info if you are still confused... Cricket: As explained to a foreigner... You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
