1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

[Moss]

no if we win i want it to be the hardest players for commentators to cope with playing a genuinely brilliant hand.

Step forward Colin de Grandhomme (as India prepare to unleash a dual wristspinning threat).

Would be the one Simon Doull's moaning about then.

I lmao when he wanted Kane dropped for a T20 game a couple of years ago, then Kane scored a century, won MOTM, and Doull was the one presenting the champagne to him

He wanted Henry out of the squad before the Wellington game vs India this year as well, then he bowled like a mad man and won his spot in the squad

Haha who is he moaning about now?

 

[Zinzan]

can't wait to win this wc. imagine trash talking the team who decimated you with colin de grandhomme and a couple of 4th and 5th choice finger spinners?

tests against pakistan are a good rest for boult/wagner/southee i guess.

Flem - of course you know it'd be me giving you some serious chirp if we somehow pull it off with no proper 5th bowling specialist, as you've long been calling for.

 

[CricAddict]

Meh. I like NZ and wouldn't mind if they won the whole thing.

Only problem is, if they do beat us, they'll get stomped in the final if australia get there. This must not be allowed to happen.

I would love a England-NZ final. Need a new WC winner. Anyone but Australia for me at this point.

I feel similarly. If India beat NZ, I'm hoping they win the final.

I couldn't stand the prospect of either England or Australia winning it.

im not admitting defeat on this until the day after we win the final.

because then i'll be too happy to care that maybe i was wrong just this once, tho id say imagine how easily we'd have won this thing with santa at #7 and some proper bowlers below him?

haha same

 

[Greenlite]

He's hyping up Ish, so that's definitely a no-no selection, he b****ed about Henry (came back well vs ENG), Latham (half century vs ENG) and Munro.

So there you go, Henry to get a 5-er, Latham to score a century, and Munro replacing Guppy and score a double ton

This England team is way more likable than the past ones, though. If we can't win, seeing players like Woakes or Buttler do it wouldn't be the worst thing.

 

[Flem274*]

yea but they have their media, their people and the gay avenger

 

[Greenlite]

Wouldn't mind seeing ENG winning, wife like the boy band look =P

They were quite humble when they came down here, so was SA, AUS just send their B team over, or complain and complain and complain about umpire dismissals, f*** them

Don't like the UK media though, geez

What makes you think any OS commentators know who any kiwi players are apart from Williamson and Boult?

Yes it would.

This is just absolute bullshit. You’re an India supporter aren’t you?

 

[artvandalay]

How is this relevant to what I posted? The only record that really matters is overall h2h record where Pakistan are 12-9 in tests and something like 75-55 in ODIs.

None of the above is relevant to how Dhoni and co. played Vs England though. One of the most cowardly displays and really not befitting a champion team. Do we really want our World Champions to play like that for whatever reason?

you guys are lucky we are not playing you anywhere other than ICC tournaments nowadays. That h2h would look a lot different otherwise.

 

[weldone]

This is just absolute bullshit. You’re an India supporter aren’t you?

I am a supporter of whichever team I have my money on.

But otherwise yes I am an India supporter - but will be happy if any team not named Australia wins. No offence to Australians, but the same team winning 6 times makes it very boring.

 

[Burgey]

Well, now you know how we feel when every thread in the past 13 years devolved into “Ah but how did he play on the SC?” Does wear a bit thin I suppose.

Don’t mind supporters talking via their kick though

 

[DriveClub]

Cricket doesn't feel right if australia isn't winning wcs. Thats like the most normal thing to happen.

Not sure I understand your point, except that you're pissed for some reason.
