ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

Could have major repercussions later on if semi spots are decided by net run rate

 

[King-Gutho94]

You gotta hand it to NZ.

Every tournament you look at them and go they might be a nuisance value here and there. But ain't a threat.

Game 1 they give England a mighty spanking.

Have a happy Friday piers you wanker.

 

[hineyrulz]

Not a super over or other throw in sight, well in NZ!!

We saw that last year in T20WC.

When we gave up the 1st game last year.

 

[Bazal]

Lol shat on. Spirit of cricket award to England for refusing to take any wickets.

England did say they ain't defending there title.

Netherlands v Pakistan

Can the men in orange upset the pride of the Punjab?

 

[King-Gutho94]

nice beat down

You won the game

But morally England won as the Kiwi's actually are facing charges of raping England from the ICC.

So technically everyone walks away happy. England claim a moral victory and the rest of the world celebrates.

 

[undertaker]

Massive crowd there looks like a GWS crowd.

Compare that with the crowd for the England vs NZ match in the opening match of the 1996 World Cup (also played at Ahmedabad, albeit a day game on a weekday):

 

[jargan83]

That's quite the paddlin from the Kiwi's.

 

[Fangs]

Up the black caps.

 

[isaiah]

That's quite the paddlin from the Kiwi's.

Saw the England score at 5/230 last night and the dumb news site said England were 65% probability of winning. What?

Nuisance value is about it I guess - with Williamson still to come back...

We're a very competent all-round team, and very much a team with a handful of world class players - I think if Aust or India play their best, we'll struggle, but we usually play well, other teams vary more

Santner is a horrible test bowler, but f**k me he's great with the white ball

India are locks for the semi-finals, cannot see them losing more than 3 from 9 groups games. The SENA teams + Pakistan all look roughly equal and will probably take plenty of games off each other. Sri Lanka & Bangladesh will pinch a couple of upsets especially if they get the conditions, but don't think they'll win enough for the semis. Afghanistan & Netherlands are probably going to struggle.

Amsterdam is pumped for it.

The canals will be lit up with red lights ready for a great night.

 

[Fangs]

England shouldn't have split the coaching roles. Need some Baz in this WC.

 

[TheParraboy]

The orange men win the toss and will bowl first

Dirk nannes one of the great Dutchman is there
