What are the permutations for England?

Need to win both heavily and hope Scotland lose to Australia by a ton or Scotland and Namibia both beat Australia. Our net run rate is terrible.

All comes down to the Scotland-Aus game.

 

England need to beat Oman and Namibia as well as Scotland do (or have) and then hope Aus beat Scotland more conclusively than they did England. Which is not implausible, the weather being the biggest factor.

[Lionator]

England will need to hammer both Oman and Namibia, which we can do, and will need the Aussies to do the business. If any of those games are close then it’s all over. 

[Tommy Fresh]

We'll batter Oman and probably lose to Namibia

We need to bring a couple of Singhs into the team, we will kill it.

[Chiltern Fox]

We won 

 

I will personally take the credit for this as I switched off when Amir was on hatrick and did some gardening. 

 

Just checked final score now and somehow india pulled it off (or pk did a spurs)

 

Look forward to the highlights..

Horrific wasn't it mate? The dancing.  Fvck me.  The only good thing was seeing Ponting's face before and afterwards.

Just love how the crowd were silent after being invited to applaud too. 

 

I know it's coz of the shiteness of the set-up, but I'm enjoying these low-scoring thrillers.

Nah South Africa setting a good score on this deck. 

[Lionator]

Anyone who swings across the line on this pitch is an idiot. Play the ones and twos even in the death overs.

I don't mind Nasser Hussain as a cricket commentator but he's not the right person for T20 comms.

Banga’s are gonna be robbed by the umpire’s decision here.

 

Gave LBW for one which was way down leg, the ball went for 4 LB’s, decision overturned which means Bangladesh don’t get the 4.

Horrendous bit of umping.  You could see immediately in real time that wasn't hitting the stumps.  

 

Then gave a marginal LBW which was only just umpires call.  Not the best umping overall.  

[StanSP]

Great catch by Markram under the circumstances.

Lost by 4 runs, of course 🤣🤣

[Bordersfox]

Feel for Bangladesh there but Maharaj should have been put away in that over.  

[goody2028]

Dead ball on the LBW review is such shite rule

Very fortunate for South  Africa.

[Corky]

Agreed on the dead ball rule but also embarrassing how two scores below 120 have been winning totals without the chasing side being bowled out.
