Group 2 (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Netherlands)

[Fuller Pilch]

Yeah but NZ are historically incapable of winning a WC too

Then surely they'd want to play us in the final.

Haven’t seen a lot of Muzarabani, he has a much more athletic action than I thought

 

[Starfighter]

This certainly isn't the fun pitch of the earlier matches.

Raza bowls like a medium pacer from 1905.

 

[Prince EWS]

Raza bowls like a medium pacer from 1905.

His action would totally allow him to bowl conventional inswingers and outswingers as variations if he wanted, too. An outswinger might even add something.

We won the test one less than a year and a half ago.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Rahul doing his minnow bashing as usual. Will go mising in the SF.

 

[trundler]

Michael McIntyre.

 

[Chubb]

I’m in the UK visiting family and listening to this on the radio. Jonathan Agnew is a misery guts and he’s patronising Zim as usual. Urgh.

 

[_Ed_]

Michael McIntyre.

...is fairly dreadful. But how does that fit here?

 

[Prince EWS]

Maybe he Sparked and meant to post in the proportionate hatred thread?

He's shocking. I've wanted to like him since his days of voicing commentary for the original ICC and Brian Lara/Shane Warne Cricket, but... ugh.

 

[trundler]

...is fairly dreadful. But how does that fit here?

Haha, was supposed to be in the proportionate hatred thread.

 

[Burgey]

Very surprised to see Rohit Sharma out playing a lofted pull shot to a fielder who did t have to move. Seems like it’s 2/3 of his dismissals

 

[Burgey]

Of course he’s a patronising buffoon. He’s English

 

[Burgey]

Raza. You little ripper

 

[Chubb]

Of course he’s a patronising buffoon. He’s English

He’s always been the voice of cricket on the radio for me, but just seems cringeworthy now.

 

[Prince EWS]

Disappointed Evans isn't playing this game. Not sure what Wellington adds that couldn't be provided by the batting allrounders. Evans is a better bat too.

That's before we get to what a total waste of space Munyonga is. Evans and Jongwe (who usually bat 8-9) are both arguably better on batting alone, and he's not going to bowl.

 

[andruid]

Oh South Africa, you do find ways to screw things up!

Death, taxes, South Africa choking.

 

[Starfighter]

Good to see the old crocodile hands in use.
