10th Match - Australia v West Indies

[trundler]

Finch risking it all by giving it to Starc early and then Starc getting 2 has to be a classic WC moment. Love it.

 

[Burgey]

Hope they don't blame it on the umpiring too much, poor as it undoubtedly was.

Didn’t they overturn all the shockers? But yeah the on field umpiring had a lot more mistakes than you normally see.

 

[wrongun]

It's a World Cup and Australia have that ominous look about them. Gonna take something special to stop these ****s.

India and England are still favourites IMO...more India than England. If Aus win this tournament it will be a miracle.

 

[Moss]

Post that Starc over, the Windies have barely made a run with Stoinis bowling two overs..amazing.

 

[vcs]

He was anyway IMO. How many players in history have dominated a WC like he did in 2015?

Yeah it was pretty special considering how high scoring the tournament was. But you could have argued small sample size (and he doesn't play much JAMODI cricket). If he keeps it going in this one, there won't be any argument.

There was that huge missed no-ball. Amir-class.

Yeah, as people know I just have a very concrete-results oriented approach to these things. Anyone who basically wins a WC on their own is a shoe-in in my book, longevity/consistency a distant second in consideration. WCs are too infrequent and too difficult to win for it to be otherwise for me.

 

[Spark]

A bit of poo from NCN to conclude. Generous of him.

Despite umpires favouring Australians heavily, giving them chances after chances, WI should have won this very easily had they kept calm.13>11

Miracles don't have odds of 22% on Betfair.

Suck it up m8

They weren't playing the stupid shots because they were "needed".

Yes they did Aus had them squeezed with no momentum, they needed to take risks to get ahead.

They really struggled to rotate the strike after Hope got out. Really boundary-reliant for runs.

They struggled to rotate the strike even with hope in, especially at the beginning of the innings.

 

[Howe_zat]

that's a bizarre ending.

They were ahead the whole time. They were cruising, 20+ runs ahead of where they needed to be.

England are toast. Will throw up all over themselves. They’ve already started.

India very hard to beat but top heavy much like Australia, despite today. Will be interesting

This is another way of saying they were unable to rotate the strike. The required run rate was never out of control.

The **** was Nurse waiting for?

 

[Burgey]

that's a bizarre ending.

A bit like the last over of Pakistan-England with no one seeming to gaf.
