Question will be asked if India win this WC undefeated

Is this Indian side better than the undefeated 2003 aussie side?

Dunno, but this is indeed a wonderful side, that said the best team doesn’t always win the World Cup, India’s first win was the most stark example of that …

they’ll take sone beating though, no mistake

 

[TheParraboy]

India 0/91
10 overs

Seriously, how did South Africa lose to the Netherlands?

I don't think so

I look at the quality of the 2003 World Cup.

India were a damn good side with Tendulkar at his peak, Ganguly, Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Harbhajan.

Australia humiliated them twice in that tournament both games weren't even contests really.

Australia put the cleaners through Sri Lanka as well multiple times. They had a decent ODI side with Vaas, Murali, Sangakarra, Jayasuriya, Jayawardene

There 2 games where they off were in Port Elizabeth against England and New Zealand they were in trouble but still won.

Compared to this world cup other teams just ain't at a high enough standard.

I still think South Africa for example are a good side but not an elite side. Like I reckon they have had better sides in previous world cups then this one but performed better and benefited by teams sending them in to bat.

If India play us in the final and demolish us maybe but I still think Australia 2003.

Australia 2007 was more dominant then any team we have seen.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Seriously, how did South Africa lose to the Netherlands?

South Africa won the toss and bowled first

 

[King-Gutho94]

Fun FACT:

India lose tonight, only one nation will remain to have the opportunity to win 9 in a row at this WC

Pfft get back to me when we win 34 ODI WC games in a row again

 

[AlwaysGreen]

45 games done and dusted and we move to the semis:
Wednesday: (1) India v (4) New Zealand
Thursday: (2) Australia v (3) South Africa

Another issue could be the possible rain.

If its a shorten game i guess that means Stoinis will more then likely be a certain starter and gives our dumb captain more incentive to bowl first especially with possible rain around and DLS.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Now some stats.
There were 3 scores of 400 plus as well as 9 other scores of 350 plus.

There have been 592 sixes with: Sharma 24, Maxwell 22, De Kock 21, Marsh 20, Warner 20 leading the way.

There have been 6 instances of 5 wickets in an innings. No bowler has taken more than 5 wickets in a game.

Out of the top 6 economy rates for bowlers, 5 are Indians.

Feel for Team india, only two days to prepare

Hey Nasser stop looking for excuses

Australia played in the WTC Final & the ashes too and probably have more players from that squad then England at the world cup.

We made the semis while your whinging mob are on the plane back to Heathrow.

Champion teams deal with it and move forward.

Something this England team is not.

Look up adversity and you’ll get India. Poor little fellas.

Look up adversity and you’ll get India. Poor little fellas.

Kevin Walters can be a short term consultant for India to give them a rev up about adversity.
