[Qlder]

NZ to easily win this (but then lose to Aus)

It's funny how likely this is despite India > NZ > Aus

 

[_Ed_]

Yeah, NZ-Aus games are almost always a foregone conclusion, sadly.

 

[Burgey]

Apparently it's Lord Thakur's birthday. Will it see more #punishment, or will the cricketing gods be kind to him?

 

[Burgey]

we are both a little biased here. I think the betting line is pretty accurate as far as I’m concerned. View attachment 37767
15/8 is about 65-35ish india and that’s fair enough.

Betting is illegal in India though, so therefore this has no impact on the game.

We beat them in the pool stage in 2015

 

[_Ed_]

Indeed, and '99 too - the glorious exceptions. But apart from that we've been terrible against them.

 

[TheBrand]

Given India have chased in all their games so far, I wonder if NZ were to win the toss, would they stick India in to bat?

What could possibly go wrong.

 

[Neil Young]

I can't see NZ winning today. But, stranger things have happened at sea.

 

[Line and Length]

Hopefully a close contest - unlike last night's farce.

 

[straw man]

It's funny how likely this is despite India > NZ > Aus

Let's not forget also NED > SA > AUS

 

[Zinzan]

Suspect weather from all reports.

Hey Ned v SL had its moments

Cricinfo says it's sunny

I think India should win this comfortably. Their cup to lose at home.

A few years ago we made a bilateral series very tight off the bats of Taylor and Latham but I think that was even pre-2019 and I'm just getting old.

nz has too many randoms who just smash us

get conway, rachin gets you

get them both, latham props nz up

get him, mitchell bashes a few, get him say hello to philips

if you keep them to a middling total despite it all, you get to deal with boult left arm magic, ferguson pace, henry line and length, santner choke, philips meme wickets

we are never beating nz ever again in WCs and should just give them the WC today and withdraw from the tournament

 

[Shri]

or will the cricketing gods be kind to him?

yeah he's getting dropped

 

[ataraxia]

Very suspect
