Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

Yeah I wasn’t suggesting you thought otherwise.

To be fair, DLS does have a responsibility to keep up with data from modern games so as it knows how to properly value wickets remaining in general, so if more teams do this then it might stop underrating them in this way soon.

In early T20 I remember DLS being completely horrible

Part of that was the change from DL to DLS but yeah, basing it on data from 50 over cricket was like trying to build on sand.

Stokes is so gun. won england an ODI wc, a t20 WC and bailed there ass out of losing a home ashes to an aussie side that had 4 and a half performing players.

Shaeen ball to Alex Hales the ball of tournament for me. For a fleeting moment I thought Akram MCG spell was on.

That was the technique of a batsman who hasn't played fc since 2017 and list a cricket since 2019. Shaheen did what I thought Bhuvi was going to do to Hales in the semifinals.

that’s the b team. Curran alone in the first team

Today is just the game where i feel just 4 overs for a bowler hurts the the chances for a bowling side win.

Say it was an odi and Pakistan was defending 180 and if England would have had to go through 18-20 overs of Shaheen-Naseem and Haris upfront it may have been a different result.

Anyhow its the uniqueness of each format which makes them all enjoyable in their own way.

this was a much more respectable defeat than our semifinal effort at the very least

Bhuvi is too slow for that

Curran in, Arshdeep out and the team would be perfect

 

[slippy888]

curran in and wood out would make more sense

 

[Adorable Asshole]

curran in and wood out would make more sense

Wood's average and death bowling is better than arshdeep and Wood is faster plus there is already a left arm pacer in the team.

Actually Hasranga or de leede is better than both.

Michael Hussey gives me 'wholesome, endearing uncle' vibes. Will cook you a family meal while simultaneously giving your youngest throwdowns. Such a good egg.

It's now pissing down hard.

All the talk of how many players England were missing got me thinking about an England side from those who were unavailable or not selected.
I got as far as this:
1. Roy
2. Jacks
3. Malan
4. Bairstow
5. Vince
6. ???
7. ???
8. Willey
9. Archer
10. Wood
11. Topley

Could probably find room for Joe Root in such an XI
