Grr I do hate that bollocks expression about how with wides the batting side is getting 'extra deliveries' and some numpties even count the runs off the next ball as part of the impact of the runs given away by the wide.

It's complete cobblers. All it means is they get an extra run, the only other aspect is they get another sighter of the bowler.

Not necessarily just one, tbf.

Have to say some of the cheerleaders shouldn't really be wearing crop tops either, throwing bricks from a greenhouse as I am.

Kandamby likes a pie, eh?

Rafiq bowling well, meanwhile. Not afraid to toss it up, even in this format.

Well technically they do have 4 guys outside of English origin

Ordinary shot from Chanders there. Suppose if I were Patterson I say I troubled him with extra bounce, but looked a bit half-arsed from the great man.

Uva losing their way.

Ah, Rashid shells a sitter of a C&B. Then a boundary follows from the full bunger he sends down in a fit of pique.

Full toss does the trick for Oram as he finds Ballance at long on.

Yorks right in this.

Didn't realize this had started so soon after the WC. I doubt I'd be able to work up enough interest to watch any of these matches.

So err why do half volleys that are smashed for 6 - particularly at the death - get called length balls?

That shot from Root looks worse with every replay and look at Yorkshire's batting lineup.

All on Miller then, pretty much.

Hadn't realised quite how merde Rashid's T20 batting record was. Tick over 10 at less than 100.

That's a nasty one. Top edge off the quickest bowler straight into cheek/nose/bottom of the eye.

Brings out the T20 debutant, up against Umar Gul after someone retires hurt.
