ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

[The Mad Hatter]

Is there anything better than middle of the night, English defeats at major sporting events?

Oh yea! It’s not coming home…again.

F@@@ England.

401 not enough

Today: India v South Africa in a top of the table clash and potentially a preview of the final.

For noting:

Kiwis have now lost 4 on the trot.
Pak v NZ was the first rain affected game of the world cup.
Afghanistan will move into 4th if they beat Australia on Tuesday.
England lost again and remain on the bottom of the table

 

[_snafu_]

LeedsRhinos hurtin' in the sheds.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Haha England still rooted at the bottom of the table.

Well we won still not convincing we really need a special performance from someone in the semis and final

 

[King-Gutho94]

Halfwit Piers has stopped talking about the cricket on his social media

Doesn't even get a mention these days.

 

[Wizardman]

Wow, Pakistan win on DLS.

No system is perfect but you have to go with some formula to resolve a game. In saying that, NZ have had no luck in this cup.

Rather India keep winning and play the saffas in the semi final.

Nice for the little brother to join us in the history books of setting a total of 400+ in an ODI and lose the match. It's been lonely in there for about 17 years.

Cowed and broken England suffer galling Cricket World Cup exit at hands of bitter rivals Australia

There can be no talk of moral victories this time, only acceptance of an era coming to a sad end as Australia knocked England out of the World Cup.

England should have eaten a target of 287.
Bairstows golden duck says it all.
I'm not overally rapt in Tampax but his batting cameo again Woods and co and 3-21 was in the end the difference between the sides in what ended up a comfortable win for us.
A great moral victory for our boys.

to be fair, you didn't have D/L intervention, so a more special effort

We have to beat Sri Lanka well now, and hope England muster some pride when they play Pakistan

Weirdly, aside from the RSA game, I still think we're playing ok - but scrambling to get a team oin the park - what a world cup for you Ravindra

In this instance, I can't argue wiht the result. Pakistan were 1/200 after 25, so half we there at the halfway point.
Sure NZ probably felt they were one wicket away. Get Fakhar out and the new man coming in has pick up where he left off. Is what it is.

yeah, they were a little ahead of where we were, I think - but they had the advantage of knowing the game was likely to be shortened - guess it's a minor whinge, but I an not convinced that was an appropriate 'target' still a lot of batting to be done…. but as with the last world cup, the rules are the rules

Just didn't hit enough boundaries.

Not sure if this team can, I think we are poorly coached and tactically inept. It really is India’s to lose. It’s been set up for a benefit concert for them and it would be the funniest thing ever they don’t get it done.

Got to give Zampa credit, he was the difference between the 2 sides.

His 3/21 off 10 was the most economical bowling in a world cup since Andy Bichel's 7/20 in 2003 snd most economical in world cups since 2015.

 

[Fangs]

Zampas batting proved crucial as well. Those runs ended up the difference.

He looked bad early in the tournament. He has really bounced back. Excellent performance.
