wtf i love ***** but hate ***** now

(seriously though, this has happened before)

Never would've guessed Vaughan would turn out to be such a prick and a troll after retirement. He always seemed so calm and measured then. A bit like Siddhu in that regard. I didn't know how Siddhu sounded until he stank up the commentary panel.

World would be theoretically awesome if we had a theoretically benevolent dictator

Scale matters

With Bumrah bowling tomorrow to finish off the full NZ innings, I doubt they will get to the 237 predicted. Most likely 225. Easy for India to chase this in a full 50 over innings.

Will the pitch likely to favour India or NZ tomorrow?

The BBC is forecasting rain for tomorrow as well. What a rubbish semi. If tomorrow gets washed out as well, unlucky NZ.

Disagree strongly unless it's Rothbard's ghost.

Spot the tyrant who’s for making 8yo kids mandatorily being forced to work 12 hrs a day and schools being literally banned!

I don't force them into anything; their natural inclination to not starve does the work for me.

46 overs will be 237
40 overs will be 223
35 overs will be 209
30 overs will be 192
25 overs will be 172
20 overs will be 148

But with the reserve day tomorrow, won’t they just carry on and complete the NZ innings with India to chase in 50 overs?

No I know haha, I was taking the piss too, don't worry. No way I'd ever seriously pitch/defend my political position as "the natural inclination of children to not starve drives the voluntary child labour force in ancapistan" ffs, true or not

 

[ajdude]

postponed, **** yes

46 overs will be 237

NZ are going to bat their 50 overs though (unless Bum-rarrgghh finishes the tail off tomorrow morning).

Either way. The chase will be different, and more than likely easier.

 

[Cruxdude]

What time will they be restarting tomorrow? If it's the regular match start time it is going to be so hard to wake up at 2.30 two days in a row on weekdays.

Never know....23 balls could go for 40-50 and all of a sudden it becomes a tricky chase. Also, there is rain tomorrow as well, so the chances of India chasing a full 50 are lower

Would love to see a joint WC winner...

They should incorporate something like http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/cricket-chat/12763-bowl-out-rule.html

god what a **** hole of a place to play cricket at

 

[OverratedSanity]

That's probably for the best. Hopefully we get a full game tomorrow.

I really hate this world cup.
