ICC ODI World Cup Oct-Nov 2023

[Bazal]

What a hectic awesome game....Starcy had a shocker but at least he found the one ball he needed when it mattered lol

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Hmmmm, not sure how to feel about that, again we compete but lose to a big gun…

Yeah we keep digging ourselves holes we can’t quite dig out of

 

[Twizzle]

good idea to stick Head straight back into the team

he's been missed

We look like BA coached Parramatta side during the 2019-2022 period. We are in the top 4 but I just can't see us winning it.

On our day we could pinch it but there looks too many flaws for mine. The death bowling, middle order, fielding still isn't 100%.

We're basically in the semis so I suppose we only need to win 2 games once there but I think India will be too much for us. It's there's to lose.

If we avoid them in the semis and play south africa I suppose we are chance who despite belting us 2 weeks ago. Have the mental baggage of so many failed semi finals in the past could tighten up.

Has a defending world cup champion ever won the spoon.

England have India, Australia, Netherlands and Pakistan to finish.

I reckon the way the Dutch are playing will give them a run for there money.

I feel like a semi against SA is going to come down to who wins the toss. If we win the toss surely we bat first. Right Patty? Right!?

I don't think a defending champion has picked up the spoon before but they're certainly on track to be the worst defending champion ever.

Edit: Jumped on the Google and Sri Lanka in 1999 went 2 wins and 3 losses and finished second last in Group A in 1999.

So 40% win rate.
If India and we beat England that gives them 6 losses and a max win percentage of 33. So yeah, potentially worse WC defense. I mean attack or whatever England think they’re doing.

Netherlands beat Bangladesh by 89 runs.

Today: India v England.

The laughter never stops

 

[AlwaysGreen]

We missed the semis after 1987.

 

[King-Gutho94]

2 classic ODI world cup games between us and the kiwis in the past decade.

Both polar opposites when it comes to bat and ball but just as thrilling. With both games having plenty of twists and turns throughout the match.

Hard to split which one was better as both were great games in there own right.

Poms absolutely consumed in red mist trying to reconcile moral wins against actual results

They need a clean out of senior ginger players at a minimum.

Better win percentage of 50% after 4 win and 4 losses.

 

[TheParraboy]

Your year?

Get on the Poms tonight mate at 3.00

They are due. India need a loss

Money for jam mate

 

[TheParraboy]

Ungerland chose to field

They didn’t want to set India a tricky little total?

 

[Eelectrica]

Go team India. Show those Englanders what for.
Kholi is my all time favorite player for the next 8 hours. Go get 'em Vkers, break a leg and all that.
VKers and I, we're tight. Tighter than locktite tight and that's pretty tight apparently.

England must love being absolutely fried when they go out to bat.

 

[Fangs]

Just for this one time only.

Go Team India.

England have embarrassed themselves for too long and deserve complete humiliation.
