Generally none.
Occasionally though the headline sponsor may donate 50p per 6 hit to a charity of their choice.

Buttler absolutely on fire in the field here.

Agreed. The bowlers have really dragged it back.
While QdK was going they were looking at 200+. Hopefully we can keep them under 160

Run chase not exactly setting things on fire....

Decent match in the end, that dodgy bowling over made it interesting for a while.

Thought we had it until Brook went to an excellent catch in the final over.

Afghanistan have put the cat among the pigeons by beating the Aussies.
If they beat Bangladesh, Oz have to beat India or book their flight home.
Even India going out isn’t completely off the cards.

Hat trick from Jordan to finish off the USA innings. 4 wickets in 5 balls. Perfect bowling against the tail.

Chris Jordan getting his hat-trick by knocking the middle stump out the ground. 4 wickets in 5 balls :) Not to shabby
Edit: Need to chase the 116 in under 18 overs to overtake the Windies NRR.

Well that didn't last long.
Felt a bit sorry for the bowler who went for a 32 run over.

Butler hits 83 of 38 balls. Jordan gets 4 wickets in 5 balls and Rashid (deservedly) gets the man of the match award.

. . . and the other ball was a dot!

Proper hat trick too, none of this caught out slogging nonsense. All bowled at the stumps.

Did include a batting review that was at Stuart Broad levels of optimism 😉
Could watch the 3rd wicket on repeat. Always wonderful to see the middle stump cartwheeling away 😀

Australia not quite heading to the airport, but they should think about booking their taxis.
India cruising at 114 for 2 after 10 overs. Rohit master class.

Bit of a demolition job. Rohit out for 92 off 41.
Be impressive if they pick up the pace from here, wickets in hand

Slowed down a bit, but Stoinis comes back in and immediately the ball is over the boundary over and over.
His figures are going to be something special.

Hopefully they'll get it out of their system before we play them (I think we face the winner in the Semi-Final)

How good are Hazlewood's figures after the carnage? 14-1 of his 4 overs

Decent reply so far.

Australian making a good fist of the chase.
The difference between them and England?

Australia going to fall short, but look as if they will pass the score that means Afghanistan have to beat Bangladesh.

And Afghanistan duly boot Australia out of the tournament after a low scoring nail biter.

I guess it’s better to have a rubbish start to a tournament and then wake up than start off looking great and go home at the end of the group stages!

As a change from T20 stuff: Ollie Robinson gets hit for 43 runs from one over. 5 Sixes (3 of no-balls), 3 fours and a single. Not exactly what you want to see from someone looking to take Jimmy's place
0 -
That doesn't add up.

The three "sixes" from no balls were hit for four, plus two runs for the nb.
0 -
So he conceded 43 without being hit for six?

6nb, 6nb, 6nb, 6, 6, 4, 4, 4 ,1
Not necessary the exact order but the math is fine
Ignore: Misread the article
Ball 1: Kimber pulls Robinson away to backward square leg for six (6)
Ball 2: Robinson is dispatched to almost the same place, but this time for four - and it's a no-ball too (6nb)
Ball 3: Kimber swats away a bouncer to third man for four more runs (4)
Ball 4: A second six for Kimber, pulling way over the head of the backward square leg fielder (6)
Ball 5: Another swat to the square leg area for four (4)
Ball 6: Robinson is cut to the off-side boundary for a fourth four in the over - and the second no-ball - as Kimber brings up his century in style (6nb)
Ball 7: Not a full connection but Kimber finds a gap at mid-on for four (4)
Ball 8: Another no-ball is met with a stylish drive through cover for four (6nb)
Ball 9: Kimber with another pull but this time finds a fielder so it's only a single (1)

No, there were two "genuine" sixes in there.
