Absolutely embarrassing for cricket this. India might aswell have hosted.

Wait what...NZ were cruising to victory over India but they crashed and lost lol

JFM trying to play spin on this deck would be amusing

India should be investigated for match fixing if they lose this

Cruising to victory is stretching it .

It will be a good game, hopefully.

At different points in the chase, they didn't hit a boundary for 30+ balls.

Also, in the first 13-14 overs, they let 60 dot balls slipped by.
It's unacceptable.

This is a problem (dots) most associated with our team (West Indies)...but NZ, no

As long as you have Head and Maxwell no Team will have more than 60 percent chance to win against your side .
Not to mention you just smashed SL 2-0 in similar conditions. Don’t underplay your chances . Adorable asshole is no longer posting because of your bet

I tuned in and saw NZ were 3/131 off about 30 overs so thought they'd cruise to 250 to win

 

[Sunil1z]

No opener since Jayasuriya has unleashed such a fear in Indian side

Nothing more embarrassing than the England cricket team right now tbh. All that noise about boycotting Afghanistan only to go ahead play them anyway and get humiliated by them as well.

The funny thing is despite all the bitching and moaning about India, their cricket economy as we speak is sustaining itself through IPL money.

Cracking false equivalence there champ.

India doing whatever the heck they want and the ICC allowing it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the England cricket team.

Cry more
Your Team played their first 2 matches at Lahore and got knocked out in 2nd game itself. Imagine crying about India after not winning a single game.

Cry more? Think of that yourself did you?

How have TWO of you managed to turn a point about the fact India literally gets to dictate to the ICC where they play into a comparison with the capability (or lack therof) of the England team?

I’m well aware of how crap England are, but what’s it got to do with the point I brought up?

Are you both unable to debate like adults? What are we getting from you both next? Your Dad is bigger than my Dad?

Just like England in the 70s/80s?

India is bankrolling a dying sport. Your counties are being saved from bankruptcy through fresh injection of IPL money.

As for India doing whatever the hell they want, well they'd rather pull out of the CT but there's no ICC event without India. Most of the funding comes from one country. All the other cricket boards are directly or indirectly dependent on Indian money. It's just reality and it's just business.

And none of the other countries have to deal with cross-border terrorism quite like India do.

Mate, if you’re incapable of a debate just say so and we’ll leave it there. Your false equivalence game is strong though, I’ll give you that. Well played

Your nonsense about our counties being saved by IPL money is absolute horse manure too, but since you’re clearly not here for the debate what’s the point

Please get out of this thread if you don’t want to discuss the semi-final . England are out of this tournament. Go and purchase few Tissue papers and cry more .

If you look, I was discussing the semi final.

It was YOU who went off topic by mentioning England, champ. Oh and there you go again, bringing up England and therefore attempting to derail the thread. That’s twice now you’ve used that ‘cry more’ line too, it wasn’t funny the first time.

I gave you the reasons why India are 'forced' to dictate the game even if it may not appear fair to you and you've chosen to ignore it.

All of this is 'embarrassing' for you because you quite clearly don't care about the political tensions between the two countries or too ignorant to at least do some research about it.
