ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

Carn NZ

That was some weak ass fielding in not diving for that ball.

Dementia has set in with Gavaskar. Did not understand one word of that gibberish.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Bumrah has given up on fielding.

 

[Wizardman]

Just target BUMrah in the field...he has the turning circle of the Titanic

 

[Eelectrica]

This is why I say win the toss and bat. Bowlers and fielders wilt in the heat.
Good chance us and England beat South Africa if we bat first after winning the toss instead of fielding.

 

[Fangs]

220 from 40 classic ODI setup.

NZ will pounce to 290.

 

[Wizardman]

Well done Mitchell.....a tad underrated as a player. May not be that way for much longer.

NZ's answer to Adam Voges.

 

[Eelectrica]

OK, this is some pretty great death bowling from India. Early sunset helps I guess. Not as hot there as other grounds.

 

[Fangs]

Shami reducing NZ to ruins.

Will take a great bowling effort to win this one.

 

[This Year?]

no century for you Kohli!

 

[SpaceMonkey]

India win with 2 overs to spare. Probably one NZ could afford to drop, given our NRR didn’t take a hit from it. Indian death bowling won it for them, NZ probably needed 20-30 more runs to defend

Today: Afghanistan v Pakistan. Could be a passionate contest.

Think we just saw the two all round best sides, both missing a key player... India a bit better last night

India will be hard to beat, whether NZ can do it in a grind, or a team like RSA can do it by scoring 400, will be difficult Pakistan and Australia remain very dangerous, but both batting lineups seem very reliant on a couple of players - all 4 teams have quality attacks

On Mitchell - averages 50+ in both forms of proper cricket, decent samples now - in terms of runs, he's been a step up from Ross Taylor, and hopefully they slot Ravindra into the test team too, he's the future at the top, sadly for Will Young he's perpetually the next cab off the rank

Notice how every indian who has got a kit on its the latest one? cant see any with older tops

Go to a Parra game and you see 10 different parra jeserys in one camera shot..

And even more bald merkins.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I think the Kiwis can take a lot from last night.

Lets be real i reckon India would have 1 loss in them max in this tournament why not save it for the semis or the Final.

NZ at least showed they can grind away and scrap there way to a defendable total. And could beat them in the crunch game.

If we got scraped our way to 260-odd in our 1st game in chennai against India instead of pissing in the wind we probably win that game.

India's quicks are probably stronger then there batsman. Best FBC in the world atm.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

India showed a few cracks yesterday in the field but were good enough to recover from them.

Their 2 guns with the bat, Sharma and Kholi are firing.

Its their tournament to lose for sure.

Today: Afghanistan v Pakistan. Could be a passionate contest.

I wonder if the fast bowlers will bomb the tail with bouncers if they come in.

You never know when the Osama Bin Laden Cup is on the line.
