OT: Cricket World Cup 2019

[Philip_Smith007]

And we all know, particularly from our last match against England, that loose deliveries will cost us.

It's great we have this reserve day. One Day cricket is usually over in 'one day'. I was just looking at some older WC tournaments and noted how rain-affected games went into a second day. I was thinking, 'gee, how thing's have changed?'. But they haven't.

I'm looking forward to this Lockie Ferguson coming on and bowling like a nutter...

It felt like a test the way they where batting.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

That’s the interesting part of the day for me, with the potential weather risk there will be so many factors running through the captains mind, 20 overs to constitute a match and if the overhead conditions are looking dodgy and he is bowling well I’d be tempted to bowl Boult out up front, however if play went all the way through that would hurt us later

CDG could be very handy on this deck, especially if the Indians try to play him with their egos. He has a knack of getting the big player out in the other team too.
Santner is a top class white ball bowler as well but the Indians know what they are doing against spin

What happens if tonight is washed out?

[Philip_Smith007]

Found it.
We would be out, as India finished higher up.

If no other match took place at all from here, India and Australia would be awarded joint winners.

Sensation in Manchester!

 

[Blair]

How narky was Kohli? Typical hot-shot, park cricket, test cricket, they're all the same. Never think they're out.

 

[Blair]

I just did a 'Shane Warne on the balcony' dance in my lounge-room. A kitchen broom as my stump.
