ICC Cricket World Cup - May/July 2019

Prediction Time - England will beat us fair and square on Sunday.


Sorry Pak fans...... although if NZ loses tomorrow then its NZ v Eng in an almost virtual knockout.

With India all but certain to make the semis, I would give a much needed rest to Bumrah and bring back Bhuvi if he is fit to play.

I would also rest Chahal but not Kuldeep. Bring in Jadeja in his place. And finally, 'drop' Shankar and draft in Pant in his place. Pant could open and push Rahul down the order.

I know it would not happen, but I would like to see Kohli sit this one out and see how India performs without him. Chasing is something that we will need to do too and it would be great if we get to do it on at least 2/3 occasions. Otherwise we might see a repeat of WC 2015 SF.

Good changes. But not until we have booked our semi final berth. Things can go awfully wrong ...

For the first in a while, I'm confident that we will. Even if we lose against England, I don't see us losing three on the trot.[DOUBLEPOST=1561720594][/DOUBLEPOST]

You would like that, wouldn't you?

I dont think so it'll be that easy for England. Shami's in good form. Bumrah's #1, Two Leg-spinners are doing well. So the bowling would do very well.
Win Predictor says 48 and 52 in support of India. Given the Edgbaston pitch, Kuldeep and Chahal would be deadly in the 2nd innings.

Its official

It's more than a training kit . Yuck !!!!!

The all orange colour on the back looks really awful to me. I’m not sure if the name and number of a player on the back will do enough to minimise the awfulness.

Its official

Its not really official yet. If you see that kit, the back has no names or anything on it. And if you see on the front, the ICC World Cup logo is not yet added in.

I have a hard time believing that the back of the jersey is going to be that plain. My opinion on the front side of it - I really like that color combination. It's nostalgic to go back to that navy blue with the orange (from our national flag) dominating the jersey, which is how it should be. I would much rather have one of our flag colors dominate the jersey like how most other teams in international cricket have their jerseys designed in.

It looks like South Africa are going to royally thump Sri Lanka here today. However this defeat does not really end Sri Lanka's tournament as they would still have a chance of making the semis if other results go their way (if England lose both their remaining games; Pakistan and Bangladesh win only one of their remaining two and Sri Lanka win both their remaining games after today).

Agreed. I like those colours

Looks nice

The plain orange on the back is not perfect, but with the text and all, it looks fine. It needs tweaking with some extra design done to the back

India should actually start having "home" and "away" jerseys for all ODI's and T20I's. Use this orange jersey for all ODI's and T20I's played outside India.

Not a fan of this jersey but to anyone confused why are we going with this orange one against England is because we can't have two blue team jerseys. India is supposed to change theirs, similarly both SL and AFG were wearing different colors when they played against England.

 

[Villain]

Disappointed with England's performance in this CWC being the hosts, their loss against Lanka costed them big time and who knows if they get knocked out which is not what I expected out of them. Their ex players were quite arrogant and overconfident over the social media though. They're finding it tough to chase which happens to be their biggest problem.

They have a fair chance against India, we'd be going easy on them probably resting our players which I might agree with since we need our best ones for the semis.
