Weird that Rinku's six off the last ball was not counted, because it was a no-ball and they had needed just one run off the last ball! I thought this rule had changed sometime back where the runs that the batsman scores off a ball even they are more than what the team required, gets added to his...

Its just our cultural differences, Hari! For us Indians (and maybe subcontinental too, though not 100% sure?), "placing feet on something valuable" is seen as disrespectful and insulting. Apparently not the same for other cultures. I reacted just like you when seeing that picture :D But then I...

I saw those vile posts that were abusing Travis Head's wife and his daughter. Another example of toxicity that comes from the hyper-fantasy of equating a trophy win in a tournament, to "nation's victory". On a similar note - saw this one post (screenshot below) on a Reddit forum from a user...

This is what happens when you don't have the mental maturity to separate a game from the important things that matters in life!! And the game being marketed as "national duty", "service to the nation", "pride of the nation" does not help, just DOES NOT HELP!! These are just a few of the deaths...

Australia's current team not likeable? How long have you been following cricket? This current Aussie group is a little way too likeable (obviously NZ are the beasts at it :D). Cummins, Head, Labuschagne, Hazlewood, Zampa, Stoinis, etc are very likeable. On the presentation - I saw the video...

Bumrah also got a favorable call from Richard against Smith, which was not out but Smith didn’t review.

I think the social media “bad omen theories of Richard Kettleborough for India’s ICC title luck” played a part in the booing. Shameful, and clearly we ought to stop these stupid superstitions. Every time this happens.

Rahul faced the big match nerves pretty severely today. After keeping brilliantly through the tournament, his keeping was extremely shoddy today. I didnt watch the first innings when he batted, but can see that he slowed down too much with all the nervousness/big match jitters. Ha ha, my...

All the talk about tournament fixing by Say Jhah - where has it all gone? He could've done it today too, in front of his home crowd of 1.2L and especially with the leader in attendance. The whole tournament was played fairly. Yes there are home conditions perks that countries get for hosting...

The fact that India were one match away from achieving a defeat-less record in a World Cup featuring a round robin format, is a BIG achievement. Even that 2007 World Cup which Australia won without a defeat, it was split into 4 Groups and then went into a Super Eights. Winning 10 matches in a...

Never have I been so much confident about Indian team's prospects in an ICC tournament before. Even in 2011, I was very skeptical of that team even when they played the final (even though we had a more rounded team back then). But this time, we have bowlers operating with some amazing rhythm and...

It is India's final to lose! We have the seamers if the pitch has assistance, we have the spinners for a turner, we have the batsmen to attack and defend for the situation and a captain that goes out all guns blazing and can also temper in. Australia will hope for a complete batting belter...

Whoever enters the final tomorrow, is going to have an uphill task facing up to this Indian team and that too in front of 120K people of whom easily 95% or more will be supporting India and ferociously. Lot of people on commentary and social media mentioned that Wankhede today itself was very...

https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/128499/csk-set-to-release-ben-stokes-kkr-may-leave-out-ferguson @Bevab - Looks like your prediction about Ben Stokes becoming another Andrew Flintoff for CSK, is all set to become true!!! :D

Indian team to repeat the 2007 Australian team feat of winning a WC unbeaten? (I doubt anyone else did it after that??). Mighty damn good even if it’s in home conditions. Just 2 to go!

If India plays Pakistan, that will be Semifinal 2 since it’ll be at Eden Gardens. I’d India posts NZ or AFG, it’ll be Semifinal 1 at Wankhede. Ps: You need a new PC label called “Reverse Jinx Legend” :p:lol

This just surprised me as to how did Afghanistan come this close to even threaten Australia of an upset? 2 seamers and 4 spinners for Afghanistan at WANKHEDE??? WTH? Did Afghanistan not have an additional seamer for these conditions? I never doubted Australia's chances even when they were 91-7...

Australia can still win this one. But this has been an absolutely SENSATIONAL performance from Afghanistan! I didnt think they would be able to compete on a ground like Wankhede, against a team like Australia!

Australia will beat both AFG and BAN. Both grounds are top batting surfaces with not much spin. Australia will end up No. 2 likely. South Africa have a tricky game vs Afghans at Ahmedabad. If a spinning or slow burn pitch is given, AFG could wreck havoc there. But if Australia beat AFG, South...

Indian team hasnt had a bad day yet. Even their OK batting performance against England, was revived by their gun bowling attack. This has been a DOMINANT show and they have beat the second best side in humiliating fashion. Even if SA had batted first, Indian team would have chased it down easy...
