Karma for 2019

Nah, 2019 was karma for the previous 6 World Cups we were subjected to. Things just returning to normal.

 

[Prince EWS]

is your name Ritter or Bitter?

Just FTR he can't reply here anymore so baiting him further, as much as he opened himself up to it, is probably unfair.

 

[BazBall21]

Woakes isn't the best candidate to stick with someone. Kamara would have mullered him. Annoying seeing no8s from other countries bat like their lives depend on it against the short ball.

 

[Uppercut]

Any thoughts on the number of uncompetitive games involving minnows at this World Cup

 

[Zinzan]

It's largely the same blokes who played at the last one and they were fine.

The problem is they haven't moved on since 2019 while other sides have. Takes a little more craft batting 50 overs in 2023 than just continuing going hard knowing your side bats deep, especially on wickets with anything in it for the bowlers.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Someone's bitter that England have been diabolical at ODI's for 30 years, yet managed to be awarded a World Cup during the 4 years they weren't.

True.

B& or just removed from the thread?

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Expected a close game. Not this

 

[GIMH]

True.

Awarded it by winning it via the specified criteria, which the NZ batsmen were aware of during the super over, yes

 

[Gnske]

You know, we see a lot of these. But watching the replay again, you can see the ball drop.

Brave umpiring. The soft signal deserved the death it got.

 

[Prince EWS]

B& or just removed from the thread?

Latter. He can go and post that **** in Cricket Chat or Player Comparisons when everyone is bored if he wants but no-one wants to see it while trying to discuss a game live.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Ugh we still haven't beaten a non-minnow.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Shame that, Woakes was nailed on for a ton

Yes, he was but will probably only bowl 5 or 6 overs in Sri Lanka's sub 200 run chase so Bas De Leede's new record will last a bit longer.

 

[Shri]

ahem

 

[DriveClub]

Matthews figures is too good, what a comeback

 

[Spark]

Bairstow must've loved that...

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Ugh we still haven't beaten a non-minnow.

@Athlai

 

[Aidan11]

Been at work so just seen the score on a break.

All I can say is WTF?.

Were a joke. Not even minnow standard.

 

[straw man]

Just caught up on score after seeing openers hit boundaries at will earlier. England... I will always appreciate you .

 

[DriveClub]

England vs Netherlands should be a close game
