1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

[cnerd123]

Lick my balls India

good to see you back

Dhoni should have batted at 6 really

and yet jadeja did score a run a ball 80, which, given that dhoni was at the other hand, perhaps had an effect on how he played at the time

No. Jadeja pulled a ridiculous innings out of his arse. If Dhoni had played at a Sr of 70 it would've been enough.

Anyway, I'd blame the decision to not actually send Dhoni out earlier as the biggest mistake. His go-slow approach would've been perfect after India were 5-3. Doesn't really matter I suppose, because NZ deserved to win.

 

[thundaboult]

been watching these lads for about 17 years. Lots of heartbreak. And now they have given us 2 finals in 4 years. Love this team, always will. Thank you. I believe. One more chance, one more time.

 

[Howsie]

Oh **** yes. Kane Williamson my man

 

[Grasshopper]

pretty chill about the final tbh. i don't expect to win, and this lot aren't as good as our 2015 side by any stretch, so really it's just funny when we inevitably win.

Well I p!ssed myself tonight so with a bit of luck I might just break a rib or two on Sunday.

Exactly right. He should have manned up and walked out at 4 (or 5 or even 6) and acted like a senior player.

 

[Uppercut]

okay i'm simplifying but my point is that it's the partnership that counts as a single unit rather than individual strike rates

this has been a thing of mine ever since i joined cw tbf

Agreed, but the fact that they were forced to attack Boult in the 46th~ shows that the partnership was a little too slow. And putting that on Jadeja would be ridiculous.

 

[sledger]

You deserve a medal

Yeah

 

[_Ed_]

Gracious post-game comments from Kohli.

 

[Slifer]

So you come to the one website where that doesn't happen to vent? Makes a lot of sense.

Well done, NZ. Show up on Sunday.

Yes because it's really really annoying....

 

[harsh.ag]

Glad it was NZ.

Dhawan's injury.
Not picking Rayudu.
DK over Jadhav.
Dhoni being Dhoni.

Plenty of ways India could have fielded a better batting line-up. No one to blame but themselves.

Jadeja is a hero.

 

[TestMatch]

Ugh, stupid work made me miss what looked like a quality match.

Hope NZ continue to troll everyone and run away with the title.

 

[Shri]

i'll support nz on finals day but you ****s have gotta beat england ok

sick of the smug ****s

 

[sledger]

So great that Dhoni failed again, further proving my hypothesis that he is an inept weakling

 

[GotSpin]

Dhoni just randomly letting balls go to the keeper was my favourite part

 

[ajdude]

Exactly right. He should have manned up and walked out at 4 (or 5 or even 6) and acted like a senior player.

i mean he's not the captain or the coach, how are we to know that it was his fault?

damn jadhav would have been handy af today

 

[OverratedSanity]

damn jadhav would have been handy af today

He'd probably have kept Jadeja out of the side lol

This is a great WC
