    Awesome, cheers. Surprised the BCCI allowed this to be produced.

    Do you know where we can see this video? Would be interesting viewing I reckon.

    Yeah I was pretty critical of what appeared to be the complete absence of a plan in the field in some of our earlier pool games, particularly the New Zealand game. However it could simply have been that Cummins was still coming to grips with captaining in the format... I had no idea he was so...

    I have a far-less-than passing knowledge in most things, certainly psychology! But I'm going to try anyway. Sorry this turned into a massive ramble.

    There's BitTorrent 🙂🏆 Normally I'm happy with Kayo, but sometimes I decide events are notable enough to warrant space on my hard drive, in the (inevitable) event they one day vanish from your streaming service of choice. This, and the Afghanistan game, are such occasions.

    Yeah. Nah: And I think enough of us know at least one Indian who was more than happy to tell us how freakin good they are, and how badly they were going to demolish us, who suddenly became saltier than the Dead Sea when we had the temerity to point out their crystal ball was faulty on Monday...

    If India is anything like Brazil (which I visited for the 2014 World Cup), you are correct: there is AC/DC, and there is also Jet. That is all.

    This comment in the Final thread made me think of the "fog" in the India v New Zealand game. Remarkable to think that "fog" was actually generated by a smoke machine in preparation for a light show during the drinks break (as Simon Doull mentioned at the time and was obviously told to STFU...

    Yeah it does essentially two things... That, and the wet ball also limits/eliminates any swing. Orthodox (given the moisture seeps into the leather once enough of the lacquer is gone, removing any shine) or reverse (given both sides get saturated the same, thus both weigh the same). Also makes...

    There's only so much Gerard Whateley I can stomach, but he did nail it when he described it as "a World Cup held in India, for India, to be won by India". Even right down to the fact that the schedule was only confirmed 3 months ago, essentially precluding anybody from other countries from going...

    Yeah, at the SCG... I was there, it was amazing. Smith charged in from point, arms flapping like a seagull, demanding that Clarky go upstairs. Completely bemused, after some thought, Clarke went "bugger it why not", and Smith was proven absolutely correct. Superman areas... Only person in the...

    I'm too young to remember but 1975 is very highly regarded. 2011 went down to the final couple of overs. And of course others have mentioned 1987.

    Actually it went the way of the 1996 Final. Right down to the scores (241 in 1996), the conditions and the way both innings panned out. Absolute carbon copy.

    On the question of which bowlers can bowl how many overs in the event of rain, it's not going to affect tonight but more a hypothetical... Say Starc and Hazlewood had both bowled their 10 overs by the end of the 20th over. Then it rains and the match is reduced from 50 overs to 35. Do they then...

    Makes it all the more bizarre and galling that we are stuck with the 25fps cameras to accommodate third umpire reviews, while the 1000fps cameras are off getting slow mo montages of the crowd or some exotic bird outside the ground or other nonsense 🤷‍♂️

    Interesting to look at the results on this ground so far in the tournament: Only team to defend a total successfully was us against England, and that was a real battle with dew etc setting in pretty badly. Even South Africa won chasing.
