Just hope the 4 or 5 dropped catches don't cost is Pitch looks a bit slow, still might be a close game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Great bowling again, unfortunate the skippers fields like a first year at high school. At least he got himself off the field. Great chance, keep the heed, and make this not a heart attack game, we all know that's just what going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it will be close but suppose if you can't chase 123 you don't deserve to go through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 What's a free hit?A ball bowled where you can't be out caught.You can still be run out but you can try and belt it as hard or as high as you want without the normal consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means the bowler can't get you out next delivery, so you can't be bowled, caught, LBW or stumped out. You can still be run out, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep wickets in hand, but keep it ticking over at no less than 5 an over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow forgot about bowled, stumped and lbw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that too but commentator said Oman must restrict Scotland to 120 but I thought they had a better net run rate than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie S Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 4 minutes ago, Bully Wee Villa said: 123. According to Cricinfo 121 takes us through on NRR, and they’re usually reliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Powerplay now? Are there Mulligans as well?It's something to do with how many fielders you can have outside the circle (i.e. in close to the wickets).It encourages the batters to hit boundaries as there are fewer fielders out there to save runs. But it can lead to more wickets as well as more fielders are in catching positions.Tl:dr powerplays keep it more exciting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a worse NRR than them going into the game, how could we lose and overtake them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 How? We have a worse NRR than them going into the game, how could we lose and overtake them?I'm confused about this too, but I think I've read something before about the calculation being done collectively rather than game by game and therefore the tallies can be affected by the different denominators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
