The World Cup thread

[SonofSamsquanch]

Yo'd do a review for bowled at this stage wouldn't you?

 

[Jisse W Smuth]

Hey. Did anybody lose "dark mode" or did I slam my ipad too hard and accidentally set it to light mode for BigFooty?

What's duck mode brew? Everything looks a butt white at my joint right now eh!

Please interview Kholi.

Like when Carlton beat Essendon for us - in 99. Can we win the World Cup in England and the premiership again 20 years later?

 

[chairo]

Sweet!

Will India still be squawking 20 years later about deserving to win a final they didn't even make?

Please interview Kholi.

You can hate him on the field but always speaks very well off it.

I don’t care much for the Indian cricket team but with respect to the history of human rights and their stance internationally on a political level - this result is amazing and I’m so proud.
To think the anguish this semi final loss will inflict is such a sweet, sweet dose of deserved karma.

Well done to New Zealand. Amazing bowling and fielding. They deserve the win and if any nation needed some international sporting success outside of the all blacks as of late, its definitely them.

 

[chairo]

Can we call this India team underperformers?
Semi-final losses in the last three world cups (x2 50 overs, x1T20) and losing in the final of the champions trophy.

Yeah. I don't really hate him in field anymore. He has matured, I'd love to have him as my captain.

Congrats to KiwiRoo and his fellow Kiwis. As suspected, India flopped under the weight of expectation. Love it!

What sort of eye sore is Old Trafford these dsys? Those ground developments are ugly.

yep well happy with that !
Classic case of not judging one sides total until both sides have batted . Not an easy pitch to bat on, so very mature innings from Williamson & Taylor to ensure we put out a defendable total. On a pitch that nibbled a little and with the ball swinging, well our attack is as good as anyone's

now its up to the noisy neighbours to beat the soap dodgers !

To be fair, it isn't the Robinson Caruso of English cricket grounds.

Tonight, it's England's turn.

They always had a certain quaintness about. That’s disappearing sadly.

I guess it’s happening to our cricket grounds as well. Adelaide and Brisbane changed beyond recognition. WACA gone.

Haha. Let's hope Australia are North.

 

[King Corey]

Step 1 - complete.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Step 1 - complete.

not sure who I'd rather play in the final to be honest. i think England on paper have the better side, but the Aussies play finals very well

 

[Snake_Baker]

Step 1 - complete.

Yeah, but will we choke also?

 

[Quintero]

It was even better ... North then the Storm plus Cricket and Rugby World Cups leading into a home Olympics.

Can't imagine there has been a better year of sport for the Aussies.

 

[King Corey]

Yeah, but will we choke also?

Not writing off that possibility at all. But at least that team won't be winning it now.

 

[Snake_Baker]

I wouldn't be writing off the Kiwi's.

They're fighters.

 

[KiwiRoo]

yeah traditionally we've been scrappers. But we're lucky this time that I think we have 3 World Class Cricketers which we may not have had in the past( Good cricketers, but not World Class)

Williamson (Obviously)
Taylor who has averaged like nearly 70 in ODI cricket for the last 2-3 years before this world cup ( 2nd only to Kohli)
and Boult

plus got a really good quick in Fergusson (who i read somewhere had been the most consistently quick bowler in International cricket over the last year) who's just starting to up his wicket taking abilities

anyway, just my thoughts.
We wont be favourites no matter who we play, but we couldn't give a sh%t about that
