[Cricket] ICC Cricket World Cup 2023- Final- India v Australia

[hans kraay fan club]

The wonderfully named Jake Fraser-McGurk has hit the world's fastest List-A hundred for South Australia v Tasmania at Adelaide. It took 29 deliveries to reach the landmark, beating AB de Villiers' previous record of 31 deliveries, scored for South Africa v West Indies at Johannesburg in 2015

Was a week or two ago, this. Amazing numbers. Went from 50 to 100 in 11 balls

Slogger. Get rid!

Not gong well.


We had a bit of control early on but are a bowler down with Topley injured (again) and Rashid just joined the attack and went for 10 off of his first over.

SA cruising along at over a run a ball

If Topley is out of tournament I think Archer can formally join the squad but to say he is lacking in preparation is something of an und....


Ooh hang on ... Got one.


f***ing needed that.

Jos Buttler told England’s players to go out today and do what they do best.

So Topley got injured.

Englands bowling line up is so poor nowadays

Butlers captaincy to me appears at times absolutely clueless, there is no actual plans it seems his only plan is ‘we’ll have a chase’ ala’ Eoin Morgan except we aren’t very good at that now.

Last summer (2022) England won every game they set a total and lost every game they chased (bar a game against a half strength Netherlands) in both white ball formats, it seems they’ve learned nothing since then

Adil Rashid has a stomach bug, I’ve not seen a professional sportsman look as ill as him while playing for some time

i did notice one skid through in his last over

Topley 3-31

 

[The Wizard]

Woeful bowling

 

[A1X]

David Willey is shite at the death, in any format. Truly baffling they haven’t worked this out yet.

 

[The Wizard]

Nice bowling

400 on now, 8 balls left 15 needed, this England team need an early exit to force a rebuild, we aren’t just anywhere near up to standard, 4 years is a long time in cricket.

Just the 26 off that over.

 

[ManOfSussex]

399/7. The highest score against England in ODI's. 400 to win. Easy.

Yes, I've been doing my stats bit. From what I can see, only one side has successfully chased down 400 (25 attempts) and that was back in 2005/06 on a Joburg flat top. Interestingly, that was the first ever match in which 400 was made.

23/2 world cup dream dead

 

[The Wizard]

24/3

Just embarrassing, flattest deck on the planet when the opposition bat and we bat like stevie wonder

 

[VAL1850]

24/3...

 

[Ethelwulf]

Now 24/3 shit team

 

[A1X]

Could be over before kick off, this

 

[pasty]

38/4
