14th Match - India v Australia

[NUFAN]

Yeah, based on what I've seen so far id say India are favourites to win the cup because they can send down 40 overs of top class bowling. We can only send down 20 and England not much more

Dont sleep on NZ.

Jadhav+Pandya are a good deal better than most other sides 5th bowlers too

How good is Stoinis at bowling cutters and such? Not very I suppose

Pretty good for the opposition

 

[Flem274*]

Zampa is a wicket taker

does he really?

englands attack doesn't hold up compared to india or the australian opening pair. they've got decent bowlers, but no one world class. they're all in on their batting which is op.

how are sri lanka 4th on that table?

 

[Spikey]

i thought lyon had greatly improved in odis? im surprised zampa was preffered

they didn't really give lyon enough of a chance to dethorn zampa, and zampa had his best run of his games for two years just prior to the WC

 

[stephen]

That was a lovely bouncer.

 

[Burgey]

Dhawan mixes so much horrible and awesome batting. Always gives the impression you’re a chance.

 

[Groundking]

Finch needs to bring on Starc here to try and buy a wicket.

 

[Burgey]

Stoinis would be more effective if he had the keeper up to the stumps imo.

He’d still be rubbish, but slightly more effective rubbish

Alright, so what does "player x bowls a heavy ball" actually mean? Deceptively steep bounce/speed?

Stonis the next Andrew Flintoff in world cricket

 

[slippy888]

What score india looking at here maybe over 320

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Be interesting to see how the 3rd/4th bowlers go. Kuldeep and Chahal are quality, while NCN (with the ball) and Zampa have never really done much. However, random Australians have a record of standing up under pressure in CWCs.

3rd/4th bowlers looking pretty average at the moment. No doubt NCN and Zampa will both get hattricks in the final

yes

 

[Burgey]

Stonis the next Andrew Flintoff in world cricket

Prematurely retired due to an alcohol problem?

Evening all

Probably expecting 350 with this start

i've always taken it as 'this medium pacer being good does not fit into my world view so i need to find a reason'

though in this case i think they were using it as a desperate compliment to stoinis because his stats are so bad

edit - bounce is a good point tho. oram was always called a heavy ball bowler after injury and he was tall af

'Feels' like it hits the bat hard, even when not that fast. Most classic example I always think of was Brian Macmillan.
