Cricket World Cup 2019

69/5

 

At 91/7 I thought it was pretty much over and was obviously hoping for as Afghan win.

Fair play to Glen Maxwell though, I think that's the best one day innings played (when you consider they were out of the game at 91/7 and put on 200 runs for that 8th wicket; Maxwell scored 90% of those runs; it was essentially a knock-out game; the conditions were benefitting the opposition). I cannot think of a better one.

 

That dropped catch on Maxwell cost them the game ultimately. It was as easy as you’ll see and the Aussies would have been 120 odd for 8. That would have been game over.

Credit to the convicts though. That was some performance from Maxwell and also Cummins who backed him up well.

 

Personally I think the format for this WC, with basically a league, has been ****. As a tournament it's been dry.

Much prefer groups/tables, where every game you have some excitement about results with the to and fro of who's going to qualify.

 

Yeah this 100%. England being utterly terrible has also not helped though.

 

Woohoo looks like India going to get slapped

 

Yeah, you'd think.

Clearly not a batting wicket though, so will be very interesting!

I reckon they are 30-40 short.

 

will be an interesting first 20 overs in the Aus innings.

 

Warner gone.

couldn’t have happened to a more disliked player

 

62-3

Game on

 

smith and Warner gone, great news.

India are the best side, but the moaning the fans did after 2019…..I don’t want either side to win.

 

Yeah I'm conflicted. I really don't want Australia to win but there's so many dislikeable players on both sides I'll be able to enjoy whichever ones lose. Overall it's probably funnier watching the India fans if they lose so that'd be entertaining. Glad Warner is out as I've nothing against Head, Labuschagne or Maxwell.

 

If India don’t get these two out in next 3-4 overs it’s done.

 

Aussies pissing this.

 

that six almost cements it.

 

Kholi tears will be epic.
