2023 Cricket World Cup - Other Matches
-
In four years we’ll be able to blame the structure, this time, we can only blame the players and coaches for their choices
-
In the interests of a balanced approach to the weekend, I will cheer for those fucking Jaapies tonight!
-
Good boys - nearly made a bollocks of it, but didn't.
Now don't get greedy. That's enough winning for this weekend.
-
Pretty distinct split between the top 4 and the rest, now.
We need to beat the Aussies tonight to give the rest of the field a bit of hope. Even if we don't, it looks like five wins with the best run rate differential will be enough.
May not even come down to run-rate.
-
England chose to field v India
Hopefully the poms aren’t as shit today. I just want someone to beat India.
-
Kohli gone for a 9 ball duck

I can wait till the play-offs.
Decent start for the poms - Shubman and Kohli cheaply.
-
That's a shit review.

India crawling along 78/3 after 21.
Atherton suggesting 270 would be "competitive".
India will do quite well to get to that.

Going by Eng batting of late, 78 might be enough
-
@bayimports These commentators "targets" are a bit influenced by allegiances.
I reckon 240 will be enough.
Edit: Instantly an Indian commentator agrees with me!
-
@mariner4life He's hit some form, but Davey and his missus have got some of the smoothest brains in world sport. I worry for the children
-
Now Rohit and Rahul have heard I've doubted them - and starting to play some shots.
100/3 after 25.
-
At least England are consistent. Consistently bad.

and it wasn't far off..seriously just shows how much of cricket is mental
-
Bangladesh look like they've got some problems - a decent proportion of their runs coming from Mahmadullah, Mushfiqur and Shakib, who are aged 37, 36 and 36.
As for tonight's game...

indeed, i've seen some woeful England teams in my time, but never seen one so stacked with talent (except for the bowling perhaps) just fundamentally switch off and mentally go to the beach (outside of Ashes series in Aus)
-
Maxwell fell off a golf cart and will miss the England game.
What's the bet it's the only game the Poms get up for?

Mitch Marsh heading home for personal reasons

Not sure yet. He may have proved useful after all.
As long as his brother is nowhere near the side...

Mendis and Latham must really hate their bowlers this week. India 193/2 after 30 overs...
-
Tomorrows match NZ V Pak should decide 4th place.

Then all out for 55. Yeesh...
-
@NTA Holy shit, that's the sort of scoreboard you see in schoolboy cricket.
India make 357.
Both SL openers make golden ducks - as does no. 7.
4 and 8 also make ducks.
3 and 5 each make 1.
They're at times 2/3, 3/4, 14/6 and 29/8.
After India made 357!!!
Fuckers will probably beat us in the final round!
-
@Chris-B yeah that reminds of a 40 over game I played at club level where we put 427 on them and bowled them out for 45. Outrageous scorecard for the professional game.

You could have played for India, Sameer!
-
So the decision by SL to bowl first was a good one for the fans, because then at least they got to see one full innings of play.
Had they batted first it would have all been over in 25 overs.

I'm not sure the fans would have cared. Most of them are supporting India. They'll take bowling out the opposition in two overs for 0 and then a first-ball 6 to win.
-
@NTA The first ball 6 is a bit extravagant - I'm sure they'd settle for a first ball wide down the leg side as well.
Ironically that would be an even worse defeat as they'd win the game having faced 0 legitimate deliveries...
-
Oz in a bit of early trouble. 61/2 after 13 overs.
Wee Davey and Travis both out cheaply.
With Max having fallen out of a golf cart and Mitchmarsh gone home, that's their top four batsmen at the tournament out of commission in this game.
Need plenty from those needing some form.
-
Fucking knew it. Fucking Poms. Choke all tournament on a big bag of sweaty camel dicks, then come good for us.
-
That's a relief. Low scoring game
-
Crikey. Just saw the India - SA result...

Still in disbelief that we won the toss and asked South Africa to bat first…
-

Hah brilliant. First time ever in ODIs. Mathews given out without facing a ball for not being ready to face within 2 minutes. Helmet strap issue.
