This World Cup is great

[honestbharani]

Wow.. some twist in the end. Stars do seem to align for Pak to repeat 1992. NZ in semis and Eng in finals potentially. Also no hope of last 4 finish but somehow make it at the last min.

Don't we say this pretty much every world cup? Or at least 3/4th of them?

Where are threads for Semis?

In your drafts list you lazy ****.

I get not being bothered to make new threads, but making multiple posts complaining about it with increasing antagonism is deplorable. You could've made the threads with this time ffs.

This feels like being scolded by school headmaster.

Tournament misses a bit of West Indies flavour for me ...

Don't worry, Chris Jordan will probably come on a sub fielder and catch Kohli or SKY.

Very good from the Pilch here.

Cheers mate. I aim to please.

Shocking to think there was a T20 world cup last year. This one has been so much better.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah it’s been great. What made it better for me was I faked being sick to stay home and watch a few games, but ended up actually falling sick for another week, which meant I watched pretty much every game.

 

[honestbharani]

No, it's not. ?

 

[GotSpin]

Yeah you can't even use your Members tix to get into a ground for a game and have to buy them like the great unwashed. And they're not cheap. I wasn't going to shell out $180 per ticket for a seat at a ground I'm a member of when I can watch the game at home. Not because I couldn't but I think it's bull**** you pay a couple of grand a year to be a member and then have to shell out on top. **** that.

**** the ICC

**** England.

Yeah not allowing members tickets to be used is ridiculous. On top of that, the tickets have been really really expensive

On the whole it's been an excellent world cup.

The issue with many World Cups is that the longer it goes on the worse the pitches tend to get.

The latter matches are played on old piches that generally become slower and lower and its been the same in this one.

This doesn't necessarily reduce the excitement as low scoring games can be very good but it can loose something as a spectacle.

 

[Window]

Yeah it's been great fun.

I hope the final match is played through without any/many rain disruptions but the forecast isn't looking good at the moment. Would be a shame to end it based on DLS calculations.

 

[centurymaker]

The Final on Sunday is likely to be washed out.

And the reserve day has a 3 pm start which might be rain affected too.
