Sports Cricket World Cup 2023

[Ever Hopeful]

A nutmeg and a stupid run out. England don't half like the self-destruct button.

Aryan Dutt at age 20 has a good career ahead of him. He has been very impressive in this World Cup.

Are the light up bails one of the best innovations introduced to cricket?

 

[Makasene]

What we can hope for is England pull out a top draw effort to dismantle Pakistan leaving everyone wondering where on earth this has been all tournament!

 

[CWC]

If we still make the semis it’s just meant to be eh

Someone make bomb threats to the SA/AFG and ENG/PAK games to abandon the matches

Ironically NZ missed the semi-finals in 2003 after forfeiting a game to Kenya due to bomb threats! Kenya finished 3rd out of 14 teams!

To be honest, I had forgotten about the West Indies until you just mentioned them. Bit sad really how far they have fallen

Same with Zimbabwe sadly in more than just cricket

Me and the Mrs just been talking about the Angelo Matthews dismissal and saw the whole replay just now. That’s the worst piece of sportsmanship in the history of sport. Only one person had the licence to enact that rule and the umpires have no choice.

C*** of the century.
The Bangladesh captain.

 

[Ref]

First player ever to be out without facing a ball who didn’t get run out.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

80% chance of rain, but not for 2-3 hours.

Manjrekar's pitch report - batting paradise and an "absolute horror show" for the bowlers.

 

[Defence]

C*** of the century.
The Bangladesh captain.

Well I guess Chappell was technically last century….

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Gosh Latham hasn't covered himself in glory in this WC.

...Lucky boy. A ploy to get the better batsman

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Fast runs, fast wickets is our best chance of winning a rain affected match. Keep it up NZ

 

[Bay39er]

This bowling is crap

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I'll take 4 wickets in 8 overs on a belter in a rain affected match any day

 

[Inruin]

It's like someone told the Sri Lankans it's a 20/20

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

5 down. let's hope we run through them now like a dose of salts....

It's like someone told the Sri Lankans it's a 20/20

It is very kind of them - we'll need to bat 20 overs for a result, so the quicker this is done the better.
