So by your logic the best side in the tournament IS NOT the side that wins the tournament. Am I correct?

I haven't been dismissive at all. I'm just saying you simply naming guys cos of their stats doesn't answer my question. Then again I guess its an impossible question to answer atm anyway. It also highlights how poor the domestic structure must be which is probably the case for everyone except...

Not judging, I'm genuinely questioning where they average fifty? If its in the domestic circuit what does it matter, as you said, the current crop couldnt do it while doing the same.

The CHAMPS are here! Australia Positives The grit, the determination, the Aussie way....Australia started the tournament with Smith way out of form, Labuschagne not even an ODI regular, no truly top level spinner, Hazlewood and Starc both carrying niggles and years beyond their best in 2015...

Averaging 50 where? IN the domestic circuit? And does that equate to success in tournaments?

Once all the weeping and howling calms down...what is the future for this side? In terms of the ODI format, 4 of the current team played in the QF annihilation against Australia in 2015. These are: Sharma 36, Kohli 35, Jadeja 34 and Shami 33, who are all the wrong side of 30 and it's doubtful...

Ok here we go, the one I could get attacked for....sorry Indianos! India Positives The bowling is the best India has ever had in the limited overs format. Bumrah and Shami are Indian all timers, Kuldeep and Jadeja are a handful on helpful wickets and the back ups, whether that be Siraj...

But they choked out of several big moments in the tournament, including a humiliating loss to the Netherlands.

I'm an Abbas fan but he was unappreciated by Pakistan and has found a home in the County Circuit. Pakistan's bowling unit is looking very weak in tests, particularly away from home and especially without a burgeoning Naseem Shah. The batting is looking just as bad considering they now have to...

LOL I don't know, which Hurraira is this? I haven't followed Pak's domestic cricket.

What do you guys think of the Pakistan test squad for Australia?

South Africa Positives The batting unit, particularly in the first half of the tournament were racking up runs like Modi racks up votes, with ease and 6 at a time. It was just remarkable how hard some of these batters were going, the flat pitches and small grounds obviously helped but no one...

Wagadoo I found myself agreeing with you! But in Australia people DO CAR about cricket, the problem is they didn't care so much about this tournament. It's the countries second most popular sport, the BBL is big and generates great revenue and viewing figures, The Ashes is obviously massive and...

This is the most "interesting" place where losing a world cup means "it doesn't matter" :crylaugh:

Omg...I thought Qanon reddit was bad but the delusion year almost made me fall off my chair.

New Zealand Positives Ravindra is clearly the find of the tournament and the variety and power of his strokes was one thing, the elegance just something else. We have to see how he goes on more competitive pitches and larger grounds but here and now, Ravindra is one to watch. Mitch...

Sorry dear fellows, I've been a bit slow for this but no time like the post world cup analysis to carry on with my ratings: Pakistan Positives Abdullah Shafique & Mohammad Wasim Jr...Pakistan, even at their lowest ebb, have a way of finding some diamonds in the rough and yet again they did so...

AHHH....WHAT A RUSH! In a tournament where the Indians were supposed to be crowned champions of all the known universe AND THERE SHOULD BE NO ARGUMENT! In front of a crowd no one really knows how large but supposedly anywhere between 90-130k, in front of the tiny old man who is a mad hatter PM...
