    Four runs off the last ball. Australia win by 4 runs.

    Josh Little must now be one of the most sought after fast bowlers in white ball cricket

    Here's something for a debate. If it is right that a new batsman has to go to the non striker's end when a catch is taken even though the batsmen have crossed, shouldn't the Law also be changed for the same when there is a run out?

    What a knock that was by Rashid Khan at the end.  Great effort to get that close after the 4 in 4 collapse

    Nah. If the wicket happened at that end the new man comes in at that end. Otherwise you could mankad to not only get someone out but get the new man on strike, which would be even more, um, manky

    I must be missing something here but Mankad would only keep the new batsman at the non striker's end wouldn't it? The new batsman would never been on strike because there still has to be at least one ball to be bowled.

    So, thanks to Australia failing to thrash Afghanistan by a sufficiently wide score, England are, de facto, through to the quarter finals tomorrow.

    But you yourself raised the possibility of a new batsman having to face the next ball even if the run out was at the non-striker's end. A mankad is just that.

    I was talking about the Law change which dictates that when a catch is taken, even if the batsmen have crossed, the incoming batsman has to go to the non striker's end. In a Mankad the batsmen won't have crossed. 

    It would, actually, simplify everything as, for any dismissal, there would be no change in the ends for batsmen for any incomplete run. Anyone who has umpired will tell you that it is incredibly hard, in certain circumstances, to concentrate on whether a catch is taken or a run out is out and to decide whether the batsmen crossed or not at the time of the dismissal.

    It's almost always very easy to decide whether the batters have crossed when it's a run out.

    How have they allowed 2 Aussie umpires for the game that decided whether they stay in their home world cup!?!?

    T20 is a lottery in a one off format 


    Point to recent series win over Pakistan but we lost 40% of those games.

    12 overs bowled and nobody's bowled more than 2 overs. A lot of flexibility available now

    141 for 8.
    I thought 170 was on the cards earlier. 
    Great bowling in the end.

    Excellent comeback. Slightly embarrassing from SL. Not as embarrassing as if we don't chase this though

    I reckon they are 30-40 shy of where they really should have been considering that start.
