2023 ICC Cricket World Cup (October/November) - India

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Bangladesh vs Netherlands now has become the contender of the biggest upset of the tournament if Bangladesh wins that

Dutch have got the blessings of the Dalai OR was it cause Logan van Beek danced to a local song?(ICC Instagram promo)

It's either gonna one of the most nail biting toe to toe contest we will watch, or India will win by a huge margin. There is probably no way to tell which will happen

Though it's more expected that the latter will happen, unless @icyman blesses us with his jinxing of course

South Africa still neck to neck with score... The last 5 overs where Netherlands set a game for them...

Hence ,I'm probably going to take a leaf out of Farid Khan's tweet book and boycott the game

Lungi be like- If ABD can score a ton in 5 overs , I can score 65 in as many for sure!

Netherlands suddenly turning into South Africa’s bogey team was not on my bingo card.

It was on the 'watch out' card.

Honestly,ain't that bad to get a bad game prior to the semi finals...The only concern is the semis are way too far off....

TBH, this CW format feels more of a drag than the previous iterations. I haven't felt excited for a CW in a long time anyway, not since 1999. They have all felt lacklustre and over stretched since. May be divide the teams into two leagues - as the MLB - and after four years have the top four teams (two from each league) play out the WC in a quadrilateral series.

You’ve just about missed all the flak this format got a couple of days.

Pakistan’s camp seems to have had a case of the flu now. When it rains… it pours…

It's so annoying when people keep saying it's fixed, whenever I tell my brother he is like "It's fixed"

Rain early on. A team in orange in the ascendancy.

Sounds like a script written by Say Jhah.

Just like @Bevab mentioned, w head a pretty heavy discussion over the format. Consensus being that it does deserve the flak it is getting.

I wish Neds can take the last wicket, would be fitting. Also the NRR will push them higher/

 

[pillowprocter]

Really impressed with the sheer stubbornness in a lost cause

Thala protege, Lungi Ngidi taking the game deep herem Deserves a honorable mention in the "ThalaTukTuk Club"

How I wish for a world where ICC shares 75% of the revenue equally amongst all nations playing cricket or atleast Top 20 with remaining 25% BCCI taking home.

 

[icyman]

Rain affected World Cup games (with Max overs around 43-45) don't go hand in hand with South Africa!

Brings back memories of "That 2015 Semi-Final"

 

[Pinch hitter]

Now only Sri Lanka left to win a game... What if they won it yesterday? Australia the only team without any win at bottom of 10 Teams table...
