ICC Cricket World Cup - May/July 2019

Hey Guys need a little help with my tipping do you think Pakistan can beat South Africa

You never know PK. Haris should be in for Shoaib.

 

[Alexei.]

On the other hands WI had a cracker of a start taking 2 wickets in the very first over.

Cottrell is quite underrated tbh

The day NZ drop Munro from this ODI side is the day that they will be considered a truly elite side. By far the worst player in the current top 4 teams.

Can't understand Hardik Pandya the bowler. He gets wickets when nobody expects him to and concedes runs when it is expected of him to bowl tighter lines and get a wicket for his team. [DOUBLEPOST=1561213878][/DOUBLEPOST]Rohit Sharma's fielding seems to be improved a lot in the last 8-10 months or so. He is brilliant in the slips against the spinners

+ Everytime bowls only short length balls .

Exactly what happened

Munro is in bad form, and the next match is against Pakistan. 100 incoming.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

The only team I would prefer losing against is Afghanistan, they bowled really well, they need to up the ante a little or else they will fall pray to what has happened. I do not see them chasing 6-7-8 runs an over if RRR becomes that.

Sp what now? India will struggle to make it to the top 4

I think losing dhawan seems a big blow to India than expected. I saw KL Rahul against Pakistan and now today. He didn't look confident in both innings. He looked more focused saving wicket than playing on confidently. India can have serious problems ahead if Rohit doesn't get much support from the other end or if Rohit and Virat gets out quickly the opposition would carry a huge chance to bowl them out early.

Can any Indian fan answer this. Why Pujara has not been considered for Odi Squad ? Or has he before? I saw him playing against Australia. He really looked some good batting material.

Coming to Pakistan and Africa match tomorrow, here is my lineup.

1. Fakhar
2. Babar
3. Haris
4. Hafeez
5. Sarfraz
6. Asif
7. Imad
8. Shadab
9. Aamir
10. Wahab
11. Shaheen

Pakistan is cornered if we do the selection right and play with spirit, I m confident that we can win all four matches ahead.

The game is getting away from India here. Kuldeep and Chahal aren't getting wickets. And for Afghanistan, this is an easy chase if they keep their heads down and play risk-free cricket. They know what to achieve for the 'biggest upset of this tournament'.

Sp what now? India will struggle to make it to the top 4

Can't understand the sarcasm on this. People spoke that about England considering that they lost two games to teams that are not among IND-AUS-NZ and their remaining 3 games is against IND-AUS-NZ. I personally said England could win all 3 and make it to the Top 4 at No. 1 or lose all 3 and crash out (which is a possibility too). The 2 defeats they've had to Pakistan and Sri Lanka have totally made England vulnerable.

Well.. the scorecard says Rohit was the one who did not stick around long enough to give support to Rahul today

Can't say how Dhawan would've fared today on this pitch. Yes, him not being there makes Rahul move up, but Rahul was anyways not supposed to be the No. 4 in this tournament. And Shankar actually batted pretty well today and led a recovery with Kohli. Credit has to be given to the bowlers of AFG for bowling the way they did.

I think it makes sense to draft Pant in in some way because of the loss of Dhawan. Pant has to play in the middle order and give us back the left handed variety and the aggressive push that the middle order needs.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Well still think the pitch has enough juice in it to make inroads in the Afghan Batting lineup although full credit to Afghanistan they haven't thrown their wicket away so far batted sensibly and if they can this to the 40-45 then they can surely win this.

 

[SaiSrini]

Two really good catches in that Bumrah over has completely turned this around. Full marks to India's fielding!

Mr. Jassi has turned it on completely!!

 

[aditya123]

This is exactly the sort of game we needed before the knockouts. Must thank th Afghans for turning up.
