Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

When players play more T20 or Hundred cricket, then move to play 50 over games their mindset is still on the shorter formats. 50 overs gives batters time to play themselves in but they just haven't been doing that.
Yes, great game at last. 1 wkt or 11 runs.

South Africa win by one wicket after an umpire’s call LBW decision went in their favour.

England 30-0 chasing 230 about a quarter of a n hour ago,now 39-4 - how can so many good batsmen be in such awful form at the same time?

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

awful form or believing they are unbeatable with all the hype of the team, you can carry one batsmen playing in this manner but they all are playing shots like its that pathetic one hundred competition the 50 over format has been forgotten about lately and its showing now

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

Turned on to watch today, more out of lack of anything better to do than hope of a win. Pleasantly surprised by bowling and fielding display but now normal service has resumed by totally inept batting display and 81 for 6. Root out first ball, Stokes contributed nothing again, Buttler played all around a spinner, Bairstow and Malan poor shots. Just not interested by the seem of it. Just an ordinary batting display would win this easily. They should come home after this game now.

Seems the England team, like the rest of us, have lost interest.
Gone on far too long.

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

104-8 and I can not fathom what they are doing. Raschid and Willey are dead batting overs away. Why ? They need 126 to win off 18 overs. They might as well lose having a go, for goodness sake.

Sri Lanka currently 29-8 against India.
The record low score in the World Cup is Canada's 36.

All out for 55

Sri Lanka have a cricketing pedigree whereas the Canada score is not too surprising.

Good time to hit form for India.

David Willey:- I think the fact that he knew he was not going to be awarded a central contract before he came out to India says to me that he’s been treated unfairly and has performed better than many other players who were awarded central contracts.

seems a squad full of cliques.
