Drinks break and on paper 68 off 60 is very doable. But SA are bowling well. Still on for young and old.

This is what I love with 20 overs and ODI.

It often goes right down to the wire.

One stupid delivery or one stupid swing can turn the whole game.

51 off 42… wickets in hand. Aussies to win comfortably.

Maxi's reverse sweep. Been waiting a while.

[Smithydog]

Seems to be a slow pitch making scoring quite hard. Prefer if they got on with it. Need to build that run rate.

With the extra wickets in hand they can afford to risk a little.

[Rookiescot]

Anyway you are all playing for second place.

Scotland has this won.

Like the mighty cricketing titans that we are. 

[mickkotlarski]

Now its up to Wadey and Stoins. Just 6  sixes and all over but as Rookiescot said...risks needed.

[Smithydog]

Crashing.....Smith and Matthews out. 82/5.

Still gettable but SA right back in the game. 

[Rookiescot]

Stoins needs decent knock. He can turn the game back.

[Rookiescot]

Its getting tight. Aus needs to open up or lose the game.

[Rookiescot]

Wow lol

 

[Rookiescot]

Now I had no dog in this fight but that entertainment right there.

Boooyyy. That was close. SA bowled well but scraped in finally.

[Smithydog]

Yes.... Aussie win with 2 balls to spare!

Looked really in doubt. I am always concerned with Stonis as a finisher feeling he needs time at the crease to get going first. But did the job tonight.

Great to see my home team win but seriously now for what I believe has the makings of the final. England vs Windies,

In the BBL (Big bash league...Australias T20). We have some amazing pommy players sign up. Liam Livingstone, Alex Hales, Phil Salt and Danny Briggs to name some.

These blokes are brilliant T20 specialists. Imagine the quality of an English national T20 side. Now put them up against the champs and you've got a really entertaining game.

I'm off for another beer. Close game and I'm glad we scrapped through.

The stats will show it was won by 5 wickets but the reality is it was so close on the number of deliveries available. 

Fantastic game. Both teams can be proud of their efforts.

[Smithydog]

Great start to the Super 12 round. Was thinking we might even get a super over first up. Bowling and fielding for both sides was excellent and tied with the slow pitch, made it really hard for both teams.

Picking England to be too strong for the West Indies but you never know with them. They can often pull a surprise!

Somehow 20-20 is different and I want to see the minnows do well. I’m for Afghanistan and Bangladesh   . If that doesn’t work out, England and Australia.

Interesting game between England and the Windies. Poms and the Indians making a statement early on. Agreed about the minnows. Bangladesh gave both Oz and the Kiwis are thumping on their home turf. Afghanistan has some genuine talent also.Rashid Khan (plays for Adelaide Strikers in the BBL) is amazing.

My new minnow though is Scotland. Be interesting to see how they go.
