Certified Legendary Thread 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 48 The Final India v Australia 19/11 1900hrs @ Narendra Modi Stadium

Not even close to LBW. No umpire worth their salt is giving that out.

Joel Wilson would give it

Is there anything the crowd don’t cheer at?

Us scoring runs

 

[ep2018]

We're trying to make the most of the new ball before it slows right down. I understand the urgency. We didn't make nearly enough for two wicket loss tho. India's game to lose form here I think.

 

[RandB]

Idiot shots have brought the crowd back into it now.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Both players out to wides and Head looks like he has never ever played cricket before

 

[philreich]

Target under 200.

 

[Chuckie357]

Come on Bison. Really winking at the bowler?

That plus the smug smirk from d w***er oozes lack of pride

 

[FreoRicci]

Never actually seen this stadium full. Looks good. Except the wire fencing

130k capacity. Nuts. Biggest stadium in the world

 

[Sentinel]

Is there anything the crowd don’t cheer at?

A cracking 90m six over long off

 

[RossFC]

This is insanely high pressure.

You need to watch more IPL cricket my friend.

 

[Interceptor]

One positive... under 200 to get now

 

[ams4crows]

Keep your heads screwed on it's only 241 runs FFS don't need to get them in 20 overs.

 

[010203]

Imagine how loud Ravi and The Big Dos would be during this stint if they were on now.

What is with the fencing in all Indian stadiums? Have they historically ever had problems? There was that one today but the fence didn’t do much to stop them…

I love it tbh. It's good to see them enjoying it without seeing them being drunk off all the beers.

Genuine enjoyment

 

[010203]

Under 200 to get now.

 

[Mister B]

Dumb batting. Just don't need to be doing shit like that to get the crowd going.

On that point, the absolute vitriol from some of the Aussie haters on here towards the nine / seven commentary teams over the years for being biased during the test series used to make me laugh considering they are broadcasting for an Aussie audience. Yet here we are at a supposed ICC World Cup with the ground announcer openly barracking for the home side and starting up chants, yet they don't have a problem with it. Can you imagine the outrage if this was an MCG final and the ground announcer was doing this shit for the Aussies?

 

[Just Kreuzing]

you'd expect a conservative shift in approach from here on.

Yep bat 50 overs out !!

 

[kozi]

They were half way through showing Warner's shot again but cut to the ad to save us

 

[new breed]

Idiot shots have brought the crowd back into it now.

First few overs were swinging all over the place , 2-42 an okay start considering .
We need to consolidate .

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Big Dos coming in for his stint soon

 

[Plugger35]

The atmosphere there is insane with the 120k Indian fans up and about.

 

[FreoRicci]

True.
Australia v spin is a problem and it’s coming

 

[Bedi]

The ads offer some respite from the wall of white noise of the crowd
