There’s a reason you’ve not visited yet. Character tests involved.

Stokes and Hales got in on the long held sportsman exemption - you can be a **** if you play ok

Pakistan were slight favourites at that stage. The injury was a key moment. Yes England may have still won, but they were definitely struggling at that stage by perhaps 60-40 to Pakistan. You might argue the injury wasn’t down to luck but poor judgment however. Just one of those things and a reason to introduce subs for injuries

Nah, we had enough wickets left to still be favourites injury or not.

I look forward to both captains and the icc acknowledging the generosity and hospitality of the Australian people in the presentation ceremony.

in a world gone mad, australia provided sanctuary and bonhomie to the world’s best cricketers and hosted the greatest cricket tournament ever. And all outside the regular international cricket season.

An incredible race of people.

The summer has barely begun and the pitches have already turned slow and low.

Enjoy the best Australian summer of cricket that lies ahead.

I don’t know for sure but think England were behind on DLS and win predictors at that stage. Also dug a huge hole for themselves in recent overs which the predictors and DLS wouldn’t take into account.

I felt England would have beaten Ireland with all the context but behind on DLS so lost. This was different as England weren’t going anywhere. Perfectly happy England won though.

England were always raging favs throughout the run chase, even though at one point they got behind on D/L

England just too good. They’d have coasted it against Ireland too imo got unlucky with rain. Pretty cool that in the end after all their bashing the tuktuk got them home.

-Totally agree. DLS robbed them v/s Ireland, as it doesn’t take into account that England bat very deep & have power hitters all the way down. Just because they were 5 down didn’t mean they’re going to lose. They only needed another 53 off 5.3 overs. In fact, DLS had them lose by 5 runs!!!

-England would have finished on 8 points and topped Group A.

-Also, South Africa had already WON against Zimbabwe (they had already gone well past the 5 over target in 4 overs) but were truly cheated due to rain/DLS, South Africa would have had 6 points and thus finished ahead of Pakistan on NRR!!


Semi Finals should have been:

England v South Africa
India v New Zealand

Final:

England v New Zealand


But fate put Pakistan into the final out of nowhere.

Pakistan didn't deserve to be in the final but SA did after losing comprehensively to Netherlands. Sensible and normal train of thought.

That SA v Zim game was insane. I agree the DLS rules should change in that situation, but no WC game should be played in conditions like that. Deserved to be NR.
