T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

This Faulkner guy is nuts or what? First of all, he provided the wrong account number. And then, after the money was transferred he demanded that the payment needs to be repeated to another account. Who in their right minds would agree to a repayment? The PCB was still supportive and told him that they would make the payment once again after the initial payment is reversed. But this guy doesn't want to wait and did all sort of theatrics (from what I heard, he smashed the chandelier inside the hotel where he was staying).

Yes, he tried to did damage inside the hotel also. These pictures are available on social media to see. Soon we will be releasing the CCTV footage of this also so the whole world can see which family Faulkner belongs and how he was trained by his mother in childhood.

He is taking out his frustration on not performing with his bat and bowl.

This all must be written somewhere like James must have provided a bank account in written to PCB for the payment. So it's not PCB who is at fault rather James. PCB and Pakistani authorities haven't done any legal action since they don't wanna made any issue just ahead of Aussies tour to Pakistan. Foreign teams are not coming to Pakistan and that's the weak point of PCB.

Currently this news James Faulkner leaves PSL prematurely, accuses PCB of lying and not honouring agreed payments is circulating in the media which is NOT TRUE. Soon PCB will come out with their point of view on this. The inside story is that James Faulkner was demanding payment in another bank account and not returning the already send amount to him to other bank account. You think we are fool that we send him double payments. Just wait for the official statements from PCB. We do not need idoits like James Faulkner in our PSL.

Actually, the Pakistan cricket board also tweeted about this matter and said that, and I quote

"""" The PCB and Quetta Gladiators have regretfully taken note of Mr James Faulkner's false and misleading accusations and will shortly be releasing a detailed statement on the matter.""""

I am guessing that after the official statement everything is going to be clear to the people.

Pays are not very high in PSL but since the inception of PSL no player has complained about payments. This indicates that PCB is paying on agreed price. Everything I read about this incident is going against James.

Iceland cricket interesting tweet about this incident.  There are many ways of settling arguments. We contend that James Faulkner's rearranging of a chandelier probably led to more pieces of flying glass than runs or wickets he took in the PSL this year. These kind of pay disputes should be settled through lawyers or Viking axes.

Viking axes… hell yeah.
That's how we men settle disputes.  .

Anyway, jokes aside I think whatever I have hard about this situation nothing gold in favor of James Faulkner. I actually think this one might be ending disappointingly and with a lot of embarrassment for him. And the way the story is shaping up right now I don't think I am going to support the player in this situation.

In the 5th T20 match between srilanka and Australia.
Australia won the toss and choose to bat first but they had a very bad start to their innings. They are 22-2 after end of 6 overs of powerplay. The run rate is even lower that 4 and also they lost 2 wickets.
Now they need to build up a partenership and with a rapid pace to get close to a total of 150 runs in 20 overs.

Australia's batting is a bit slow today. They collected 40 runs in 8 overs. Their run rate is only 5. They have lost only two wickets. Sri Lanka can take full control of the match only if they can pick up a few more wickets quickly. But if Australia can score more than 140 runs, I think they can win today's match.

Australia have lost thier 3rd wicket and they are 58 for 3 wickets after 10 overs. Even loosing 3 wickets maxwell in looking good and batting at a good strike rate. Srilanka would need to get rid of him quickly other wise he cam cause a lot of damage and can take Australia even above 160 runs.

To be very true, he should be fined and treated in a way that becomes an example for other players so no one in the future can think of doing this shameful act. No player is bigger than the rules and should follow sportsman spirit.

Australia may recover this slow scoring if they have wickets in the last 5 overs for blind hitting. However, if they are able to make a low score, still it will be a tough task for Srilanka to chase any score.

Australia lost one more wicket. They lost 3 wickets and collected 71 runs on 11.2 overs. Maxwell is still at the crease with 24 runs off 16 balls. Stoinis has scored 12 runs. If Maxwell could be at the crease for a long time, Australia could easily hit more than 150 targets today. Hopefully Stanis and Maxwell's partnership will last.

Well, I know what I am going to say is sure to offend a lot of Australian cricket fans but, Australian players drank out of their own show after winning a match. What's the best that you are expecting from them?

They are good players no doubt but I think at times their brains don't work as a simple human brain honestly. I mean who would drink out of their own shoe and that was also the shoe which the player wore in the match.

Anyway, let's talk about the James Faulkner incident. I don't understand why he just did not reverse the previous transaction and then told them to send the money where he wanted. Instead, he wanted a 'big drama show'. Now I wonder how much the player is going to have to pay for this...

Yes, he tried to did damage inside the hotel also. These pictures are available on social media to see. Soon we will be releasing the CCTV footage of this also so the whole world can see which family Faulkner belongs and how he was trained by his mother in childhood.
He is taking out his frustration on not performing with his bat and bowl.

I don't know what he is trying to prove with this. Is he trying to prove that he comes from a long line of barbarians or warriors?

If that is the case then I have to say that Civilization might have reached Australia but it hasn't reached in his brain.

Anyway, I think we all know that the CCTV footage is going to be released soon about the incident and we would surely know what happened exactly.

Its Wade and Maxwell who did the job for Australia by scoring 43 and 29 runs. I would say 154 is still a reachable target and Sri Lanka must win today to avoid whitewash. There are two debutant in Sri Lanka squad today both are batsmen Kamil Mishara and Janith Liyanage. SL started there inning well 8/0 in 2 overs.

Srilanka lost its opener for just 23 runs. A couple of quick wickets by the Australian side now will certainly help them to win this match. I am sure Srilanka wants to win this match desperately otherwise this series will be a whitewash.

Second wicket gone for Srilanka. This match is now completely one sided.

SL lost 2 wickets in one over and that takes Aus in command right now. I would say still SL have chance if there middle order play sensibly as they need 111 runs in 87 balls. Charith Asalanka is playing aggressively as he has scored 17 runs on 6 balls only. I personally wanna see SL wining today.

Well your wish has come true and Srilanka have won this match with 5 wickets in 19.5 overs. Sri Lanka avoid the whitewash and it's a happy dug-out! The bowlers did a superb job to restrict the Aussies to 154. And, they backed that performance with a good batting performance.
Kushal mendis played a very good knock and took his team home.

[Minor Miner]

Sri Lanka have finally won the last fifth match of the series. Australia lost two wickets early in the innings. However, they were able to give a target of 155 runs. Good enough target. Mendis' 69 and Sanaka's 35 helped Sri Lanka win today's match easily. But my expectation was that Australia would win all the matches of the series. Unfortunately they lost the last match.

Good to see Sri Lanka avoiding whitewash at the hands of lethal Aussies. I didn't saw the match but from scorecard it's clear that match was close contest as Srilanka won the match with just one ball remaining. Kusal Mendis was the man who took Srilanka home.
There is 3rd T20I about to began between India and WI. WI are in same condition as Srilanka were today. Question is can WI avoid whitewash or not ?

[pakhitheboss]

India VS Westindies

The third and the final T20 match is scheduled for today. India are the favourite for this match but after seeing the last performance of the WI team I think today's match will be very close. WI will try their level best to win the last match of this tour. Virat Kohli has been rested I am not sure why he is being rested for the third match. He did score more than 50 runs in the last match and this match could have helped him to regain his form.

With an unbeaten innings from Kusal Mendis assists Sri Lanka with winning with a ball left, however the series is won 4-1 by Australia. Though Sri Lanka lost the series, yet effectively keeping away from whitewash. This winning is something special for such Lankans side, their bowl;ers did superb job to restrict the Aussies to 154 then replay with a decent batting execution.
