Sports Cricket World Cup 2023

If Pakistan played like England have this tournament I’d be thinking about dodgy betting patterns. The players have been a complete embarrassment to the cap
 
Doesn't help that NZ are rabbits in the headlights. When else would Henry bow two no balls in a row?
 
Baseball stances, ability to hit the ball way in front of square. I find it all really dull. There has to be a contest between bat and ball in 50 over cricket. I'd argue that while they are creaming us, they are not having to use much batsmanship to do it.

Thank goodness we actually had a close game last night.
 
After a day of painting around the house I noticed this was on earlier than the 9pm games I've been watching.

Went from this is on early. To noticing the score. To thinking WFT.

At least Boult's overs were some what respectable.

As a former bowler seeing the big bats and all of the rules weighted towards the batsmen it's a bit of a downer. I get 6's and big scores are good for the crowds but it is still a sporting contest at the end of the day.

Mind you even without all of that I've been in a few games where it's felt like this no matter what plans you have or change to it seems like the ball goes flying everywhere.

Henry has no variation, only looks dangerous if there is some movement off the pitch. Ferguson is our quickest but the Aussies face Stark and company in the nets who are just as quick and better.

Prove will be in what we can do with the bat in the second innings. This is shaping up as a hammering so far though
 
I thought NZ would of learnt by now.. in one dayers when the Aussies are in hot form........ never ever ever send them into bat if ya win the toss.... the old NZ greats new that...
 
This score could be anything. What is the record 50 over total?
