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

[Biscuit Barrel]

We don't play 50 over cricket in this country anymore, apart from second string 11's whilst the main players are involved in the Hundred.

I reckon we might have a good chance in the next Hundred world Cup.

38-4 stokes out

It's about time the team went home. Nothing short of a disgrace.

Is this just the warm up for the really rough bumming England will get from SA rugby team later?

38-4

wrong team picked yet again . Just like the England football team the cricket is a closed shop for player selection

They've definitely fallen short of performance expectations (so far), but disgrace might be a little OTT.

It's not like they've been caught out clubbing the night before, or abusing fans or anything like that.

Agree we should just bring them home before it gets even more embarrassing. Bowling rubbish, batting even worse & since he was appointed Butler has show he is just not up to the job.

 

[Ethelwulf]

67-5 Buttler out . Brainless cricket

 

[Soton Seagull]

Shambolic, but not got going at all in this tournament. Early exit followed by recriminations and then no change. ECB gone balls deep with the dumbdred and it is starting to have an impact.

 

[Ethelwulf]

Brook gone 68-6

 

[fly high]

FFS not even going to get to 100 at this rate. Shame on every one of them playing like headless chickens. Should refund every single England fan who went out there to watch this crap.

 

[VAL1850]

84/7...if we are lucky might make a ton...

[Ethelwulf]

100-8

Says a lot when batters 9 and 10 outscore all the "specialists"
Pathetic show. Just hope the rugby team shows more fight.

Edit Sunday Morning.
The Rugby team really did show more fight. Were the better side for most of the game and a very iffy scrum penalty led to South Africa´s win.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

India v New Zealand is being played at an absolutely beautiful ground.

At the start, Bumrah and Siraj were brilliant and New Zealand were 19-2. The sort of start that England would have collapsed to about 100 all out from.

Ravindra and Mitchell, though, are batting brilliantly. Now 91-2 after 20.

This should be an absolute cracker.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Fog stops play!

Great King Cricket article on England

The very end of the India - NZ game was funny.

India need 5 to win, from 16 balls, with Virat on 95.

He clubs it to the sweeper on the boundary, and declines the single, because he’s scared Jadeja will score the required runs from the remaining 3 balls of the over and deprive him of his personal ton. Great team ethic Virat.

Then smashes the next ball down the throat of long on, to absolute silence in the ground.

Indian win the game with two overs to spare, and the crowd all go home with faces like slapped arses, as if they’ve lost.

Looks like a hero's death scene from a Shakespearean tragedy.
