What a catch by Axar Patel to get Mitchell Marsh out and save 6 runs.
Aus 2/99 chasing 206.

That Axar Patel catch reminded me of West Indian Vasbert Drakes catching Canadian via Vic and South Oz John Davidson in the 2003 ODI WC.
Davidson was the star player for Canada opening the batting and main bowler even though he bowled spin.
He hit 111 off 76 balls and was looking good for 150+ before that unreal catch. I remember watching the game and him smashing the Windies all over the park and then that Drakes catch. Canada only made 202 and Windies got there in the 21st over.

AI is all the rage and everything involving a computer/micro processor seems to be deemed AI.
But as this video shows, the original use of AI in sports was in cricket with the LBW, Decision Review System using Dr Paul Hawkins' Hawk-Eye system back developed in 2000 and first used by Channel 4 in their test coverage. Became standard for Tests in 2008/09. Tennis first used it at 2006 Hopman Cup then the 2007 Australian Open.

India beat Oz 5/205 v 7/187
Despite Geof Lemon wanking on about Net Run Rate, if Afghanistan win, they go to the SF's,
If Afghanistan lose they can't go from a negative run rate of -0.650 to over take Oz's, which is -0.331.
For the Bangers they can win and go from -2.489 to less than Oz they have to make about 200 and bowl out the Afghani's for about a max of 120, or less.
So India play the Poms and SAF play most likely Afghanistan.

Go Bangladesh I guess!
We should have brought FMG over I think.

On a brighter note, David Warner may have just played his last game for Australia.
As much as I'd prefer us to be in the drivers seat, this is a fantastic final game. Last game of the group and everyone is still alive in the tournament. Banglas need to win convincingly to go past our NRR, Afghans just need to win, and we need the middle ground, a middling Bangla win.

The big game is on Afg v Ban. Afg batting first.
Edit: Who'dve thought 30 years ago, at the beginning of Australia's golden age of cricket domination, that we'd be relying on a match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan to make a world cup semi final!

LOL Bangladesh have coughed up 13 sundries (including 8 wides) inside the first 10 overs.

Run rate is under 5 despite that. Hopefully they can keep it tight and then fall over the line when they bat.
Anyone good at cricket maths work out what Banglas need to qualify based on the Afghanistani total (ie how many overs to go past Aus)? They have a lot of ground to make up but you would think they would go for it if its possible.
Really rough it seems like Afghans is about 1... Banglas need to make up about 2... so they need a RR of about 3?
Meaning that to make let's say 100 runs, they would need to do it in about 33 balls?
Obviously these numbers are not perfect but is that too far off? Probably impossible you would think.

From ESPN CricInfo:
Afghanistan need to win (or hope that the rain forces a washout) while Bangladesh need to chase the target in 12.1 overs. They can however chase it in 12.5 if they level scores and hit a six to win it. If they level scores and hit a four to win it, finishing on 119, they can do it in 12.3 overs and still qualify.
TLDR: If Bangers take 13.1 overs or more to win it, Australia progress.
Target is 116.

Afghanistan made 5/115.
Bangers win this then it comes to net run rate.
Net run rate before the game was -2.489 calculated by For 218 runs /In 31.2 overs = 6.957 minus Against 296/31.2 = 9.446 = -2.489
Now the against = 411/51.2 = 8.006 and NRR = -1.049
Oz's NRR is -0.331 so if the Bangers make 116 in 12.1 overs or less they get in over Oz.

Thanks - that confuses me quite a bit, but good to know.
It doesn't suit us at all for the target to be difficult but achievable.
It means Banglas will definitely go for it, and in turn will increase the chances of them either losing or winning in that amount of balls.

And rain has stopped play.
How does DLS impact all these calculations lol

Stuffed if I know.
Banglas coming out to play. They're going for it, as they absolutely should.
Australia looks like the least likely team to qualify right now.

3/29 of 3.2 overs. Bangers are going for it. But will they throw away too many wickets?
Rain... I think they need 2 more overs to have enough for DLS?
**** that would be the stupidest possible way to determine this.

"If we only get to five overs, Bangladesh need to have reached 35-3 to keep their noses in front, though that would hand the semi-final spot to Australia and no doubt break more than just Afghanistan hearts."
Rain is off the table.
Banglas need 70 in 36 to go through.

Matthew Wade should get the dcm and never be picked for Aus again either, ordinary keeper particularly to the spinners, and currently he couldn't get a run in a Mumbai curry house.
