Sports Cricket World Cup 2023

[Inruin]

Big game tonight. Be a good guide to see where we are. Had a relatively easy draw so far. India will be a huge test.

 

[Inruin]

9-1 off 4. Conway gone for a duck. Absorb the pressure and build the score later

 

[Inruin]

FFS those horns are annoying

 

[JaggedJ]

Timid start. I have a feeling that we're going to be psyched out by the "playing India in India" factor

Hard to play shots with the ball moving this much early on. India bowling well and runs will be easier to come by later on.

Be interesting to see if Boult gets this same swing

We can only hope. I think we're going to need a bit more luck than just Jadeja's drop, but these two are looking in good knick today!

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

Good recovery

Predicted score was low and now it's picked up a bit. 300 would be nice.

 

[ndp26]

Think we need 300 to be competitive given India's batting line up.

Would be keen to get Wrighty's updated views on Mitchell. This is a classy innings, especially given he's actively mentoring Ravindra on the run too.

 

[Inruin]

Need to be careful here and make sure we post 280+ after the hard work recovering

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

Need to get as close to 300 as possible.

Don't need quick wickets now.

Phillips is looking very uneasy out there

Mitchell would be close to our best batsman over the last 2-3 years across all formats wouldn't he?

Looks like a tricky pitch. Ravindra was the same, so hopefully he can figure it out quickly - want to make the most of these last 8 overs.

Inside edge of his bat has been getting a bit of a workout

Definitely over the last 18 months or so while Kane has been injured, but you're probably right!

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Daryl Mitchell screws up again...rubbish player

Meh.... run a ball hundred.....

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I was worried our NRR would take a hit this game, but barring a disaster we should come out well regardless of the result.

 

[Ever Hopeful]

Bad time for that wicket. This is what Chapman is in the team for though
