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

[icyman]

Afghanistan will play 2 games apiece in Delhi and Chennai- all against heavy weights like India, England, NZ and Pakistan- expect 2/3 wins there.

Pakistan cricket team in world cup is a journey in following order: Desperation to hope to elation to down right disappointment. But you can hear the "self destruct sequence on ..." lady doing the count down at all times.

You know it's true when an entire city comes on PC to mention it

Spot on! SL will brush PAK aside if this is their best. Forget other heavyweights

This is nowhere near PAK's best but I am getting this feeling that Pakistan are currently in a zone where India was when we lost the CT to them. What is that? Their cricket seems to revolve a lot around one cricketer and it seems a desperate attempt to copy India with Kohli without realising that it was that very god complex of the cricketer and the fans that made us under achieve and totally lose sight of the fact that teams win laurels. India excel at this crap and Pakistan seems to have copied it.

I expect this Pakistan team to do really well but there is a big big ? on their spinner and even today he was awful. Nawaz does his bit but like Jadeja, Agar, Moeen Ali he is more of a 10 over bowler who bats. That wicket taking spinner is a worry and Hasan Ali was bowling medium fast and not even fast medium which teams will love to eat alive. I still think Pakistan will be in the top 4 despite this and I see Ifti Chacha as a very very underrated cricketer. He will do some good things for Pakistan in this WC.

Money on the Afghans today! Good for these teams to face off initially, both might be thinking easy points on offer!

Btw, Afghanistan have roped in Ajay Jadeja as their mentor ahead of the World Cup. Good to have an Indian perspective here.

In other news, Indian camp is struggling with dengue of Gill and seems Pandya was struck on his finger during the nets yesterday. Dunno how serious it is ,at the moment!

Wonder how many brick bats we will get today for having a half full Dharamsala stadium?

We are still yet to see a full house in this world cup. Probably India matches will be the only one that will be full house.

Yeah, goes without saying, all India games will be full houses. I expect it would be the same in any other nation as well.

The half full Dharamshala has been miles better so far.

Other than the outfield that is. Doesn’t appear good, didn’t they lose out on a test versus Australia for the same reason last year?

Nice to see Dharmasena umpiring at Dharamsala

Does Nas (or Athers, can’t recognise who it is) get cancelled for saying that he prefers today’s ground compared to the one in Ahmedabad now?

EDIT - it was Athers.
