Gives me great joy to know that you admit it. Kudos on the sportsmanship. India is a choker team indeed and id start with Kohli.Congrats NZ for semi-final victory. All the best for final match.
We are the new chokers .

We are the new SA.
The reserve day for each game would be the match day for the next. So you’d only get two simultaneous games occasionally. Not that that’s a disaster- they chose to do it on Saturdays this time.Then it's either double the length of the tournament or only televise one game in two(ish) . The first is not realistic, I'd be happy with the second, though.
Both Ross and MSD balanced the fine line between trying to not get out -realising how valuable their wickets were- and trying to keep the scorecard ticking. Both wanted to take it late for a final charge. Both definitely erred on the side of caution. Both also saw their batting partners (Kane and Jadeja) get out as a result of trying to break the shackles.setting =/= chasing tbf. setting is where a batsman can feel pressure from the other end really acutely because you don't have that hard yardstick to measure how well you're going as a team
Favoured heavily in all of those except 2015 too.Congrats NZ for semi-final victory. All the best for final match.

Yeah I don't like it when there are two games scheduled at once but I could absolutely deal with it if it only happened whenever a game was rain-affected.The reserve day for each game would be the match day for the next.

No offence intended to Neil Young, but when you’re justifying this stuff it’s always worth translating it into another sport and seeing how ridiculous it sounds.Yeah I don't like it when there are two games scheduled at once but I could absolutely deal with it if it only happened whenever a game was rain-affected.
"i am goig to be a prick, waltz into a wc semi final thread and let everyone know how much i dont care about odis look at how smart i am"What a wonderful game. Well done to NZ. I'll see you guys in four years for the next WC. I was shocked to see Dhoni still playing ODIs when the WC started - that's how much I care about ODIs outside of WC.
Onto Tests! India in West Indies - August 22nd in Antigua!
That nerd nerded it up big time today. What a championDo they not have gyms in NZ? The batters all seem weak.
Send the nerd in. We need some nerd rage.
I'm genuinely not sure they are. And comparing it to PL football is a little disingenuous. Broadcasting WC cricket is a completely different ballgame (pun etc) to broadcasting a PL season.No offence intended to Neil Young, but when you’re justifying this stuff it’s always worth translating it into another sport and seeing how ridiculous it sounds.
When Premiership football matches have to be postponed they don’t just call it a draw because ‘the season would go on too long and we don’t want two games going on at once’. Imagine if someone suggested that. Cricketing authorities have done an incredible job of gaslighting fans if they’re earnestly saying these types of things.
Wow even you are being positive. I'd call the following games stellar:All in all, this has been the best World Cup in ages. Capped now with a great semi final game.
So good, you named it twice.Wow even you are being positive. I'd call the following games stellar:
England Vs SA
SA Vs Bangladesh
Pakistan Vs England
NZ Vs Bangladesh
Australia Vs Pakistan
Pakistan Vs England
Afghanistan Vs India
Afghanistan Vs Pakistan
NZ Vs WI
Australia Vs SA
England Vs SL
SL Vs Afghanistan
This ****ing semi
Was pretty epic. 2 centuries on the losing side.So good, you named it twice.
But, agreed, great World Cup. Love the round robin format and prefer it to groups. Downside being the lack of lesser nations, who WCs give great exposure to.
