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

[Eeyore]

Regardless of the outcome, it's a bit of a joke how India have been allowed to switch the pitch for this.

Indians online are something else. I remember reading one who said that in the 2019 World Cup they had been deliberately scheduled on days when it was going to rain.

To be fair, that's not dissimilar to the Australians who seem to think it's unfair that their team sometimes have to bat when it's cloudy.

Strangely, England fans online seem to be pretty philosophical about things.

Continuous failure will do that to a fanbase.
The least philosophical I've come across seem to be those on NSC, although they're generally posting in real time so probably understandable.
If cricket doesn't educate you about the fundamental unfairness of life then little will.

And the second semi final approaches.

Dislike the Convicts more than the Saffers and would like to see de Kock stuffing the Indian bowlers so that is my pick...

 

[um bongo molongo]

In the unusual position of being wholeheartedly behind SA from here on in. Aus v India final feels like Palace v Chelsea - would want them both to lose…

de Kock up!

29-4 game already over?

India v Australia. What choice.

It looks like I'll be pretending there isn't a world cup final this weekend.

I'm trying to think of a way in which it could be worse, and so far all I've come up with is actually having rabies.
At least there's a chance Australia will get hammered and we'll get to see Steve Smith's confused face when he's outrageously given out LBW to what turns out on review to be a perfectly straight ball.

It's India over Australia for me.
Can't stand Smith and Warner, the cheating wankers should have been banned from cricket for life.

This scoreline has a very retro look about it.

Well, something to bowl at, great knock from Miller.

ABA - Anyone but Australia. Their team, fans, and media really are tiresome plus obsessed bores when it comes to England. They would be utterly unbearable were they to win. When they lose, they will surely whinge and cry foul. They've always been ungracious losers. They give it large but when they get it back they are thin skinned cry babies and can't hack it.

Edit: Just checked the score. Praying for a mega embarrassing batting collapse. If there is a God upstairs it must happen.

I just hope Warner gets f*** all.

The epitome of a feral Aussie sportsman

Great catch……door slightly ajar for the Saffas possibly……

 

[ManOfSussex]

Labuschagne out LBW - 4 down.

 

[dazzer6666]

SA might be left rueing 3 (difficult) dropped catches and a very close review lost after the 3rd wicket went down………..

 

[ManOfSussex]

Maxwell bowled - 5 down.

Game right on now 137-5, horrid village swipe from Maxwell
