Re: World Cup - 2019 Reply #61 – June 27, 2019, 12:32:45 pm Bottom line is if England lose both games they miss out as Bangladesh and Pakistan play each other last game. Bar a tie or a washout one has to win and they'd jump England.Australia and India would be 50/50. India beat us here, we beat them in India, so it's tight. Quote Selected

Chasing a decent total in a final can produce alot of pressure. Quote Selected

Re: World Cup - 2019 Reply #66 – June 27, 2019, 01:25:59 pm India will be tough. They do everything very well. Bumrush is a damn fine bowler, and there's no real weakness with the rest. Loosing shikhar dhawan is a blow to them, otherwise i'd say they didn't have a flaw there either. Kohli has them fielding like a professional sporting team. Quote Selected

Re: World Cup - 2019 Reply #70 – June 28, 2019, 03:47:53 pm The media talked up India's bowlers up like they were unplayable against WI, but reality is the WI were rubbish in the field and with the bat! Quote Selected

The Indian batting though is very good, they have lost Dhawan which would be like us losing Warner but its hasnt really affected them much and having Dhoni at sevengives them a player with great experience who can really tonk the ball. Windies bowled short at him and he just helped himself to runs at a crucial stage.Where India have improved out of sight since the old days is their fielding, when I was younger they were mugs who couldnt stop a slow rolling tennis ball but these dayswith all the IPL etc they dont drop much and make a lot of catches out of half chances.

Re: World Cup - 2019 Reply #74 – June 30, 2019, 09:19:13 am Warner's reaction to Smith's catch is illuminating. Internal frictions in camp, not from what I saw. Quote Selected
