    Assessment of the World Cup

    Kinda true but we'll have to see how we grow out of this phase like facebook was all the rage last decade less so in this one, twitter/YT/tiktok is more popular nowadays IMO so this does seem to be a cyclical thing as well at least for me. Once we get over the social media phase, if at that...

    Assessment of the World Cup

    Yes & no - cricket is competing with itself, T20 vs ODI vs tests, & with other forms of entertainment. Do you have any idea what the top twitch/YT streamers make? And that number is only exploding, people especially those born post 2k simply don't have time for longer formats & if you can't hold...

    ***Official***Semi-Final #1- India vs New Zealand - November 15th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

    Nothing that a bit more intent™ couldn't have solved. They did slow down intentionally, it worked out in the end but probably wouldn't've on a bad night!

    I wasn't swearing for no reason, even Iyer slowed down a bit at the end but less than VK & did tonk quite a few after he went past his ton!

    Could've had maybe half a dozen more if someone hadn't decided we needed BK's batting for the 2019 SF, oh wait it's that loud mouth tracer bullet in the comm box someone should ask him why the **** was he dropped there :sp_ike:

    What king/prince - is STAR supposed to be attracting 5 year olds?

    You mean three? India lost back in 2003 Simon.

    And 2 dropped catches, also I'd say him being unable to run for most of the second innings kinda helped him.

    I dunno about the pitches but toss can definitely be fixed, since 2011 finals I don't remember seeing a coin toss where the cam panned on how it landed 🤔 Yes but why just this game? I say bring in all footages including but not limited to the 2011 WC.

    And it rained in the SF vs NZ back in 2019 as well, funny how the two most effective bowlers there were Jadeja & Santner remember? Any way the WTC is a joke given how the final needs an India game otherwise it would be a flop show & I'll keep bringing up Eng as a "neutral" venue, because it's not.

    Assessment of the World Cup

    Arguably the second best format possible, I'd always want QF in any "world" event but alas. We could always go back to the 2007 format if we want more teams in but just make it double round robin, with each team playing the other 2x in group stages then go to QF/SF & finals. The reason we have...

    If this makes the contest more even for the side batting last that's fine, I don't care what the ****wits at ICC moan about - they've done a terrific job messing half a dozen events before this! If it takes the MCA to fix this sh!t I'm all for it. Of course I still want India to pound NZ into...

    And how do they "ensure" that? No that's BS, WTC final on a "neutral" venue where kiwis fielded zero spinners! ZER0 - now let's try that again with a straight face :angel_not
