ODI World Cup

[DieselBert]

That looked like it was going a mile down leg

Straightened up after it pitched. Worth it to see Smith's face.

Smith could be in Neighbours with that over acting. You're out, get off the field you daft twat

 

[mackembhoy]

That image of Smith and Laubaschagne should be on a T-Shirt.

Absolutely glorious.

 

[FatDrummer]

That’s not going down f***ing down, deeper n down!

 

[Monkey]

No doubt about that one.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Saffers looked good value before the tournament, really strong side even without Nortje

Yeah they did. But I couldn’t see past the Favourites on home turf and still can’t.

Have we had a single game this tournament where the pitch has been and conditions have been fairly even for both teams.
Always expect a little for day nighters but SA v Sri Lanka aside every other game has had a big benefit to the team winning the toss, which is not great for a multi team tournament imo

Yeah they did. But I couldn’t see past the Favourites on home turf, backed by the BCCI...sorry IC World Cup organisers too and still can’t.

Tidied

Those Emirates ads look just great, with Richard Gleason, Phil Salt and a host of other current stars of English cricket.

 

[FatDrummer]

Maharaj has bowled superbly.

 

[knowl123]

Australia in trouble with NRR if they take another hammering here. We went through with 3 defeats in 2019 but they could be in a position where they have to win every game from here

 

[Aidan11]

Aussies get a right pasting.

Hooray.

 

[FatDrummer]

Glove?

Edit: hmm….that’s off the bat.
Aussies robbed there.

As things stand, one could imagine everyone losing to India and South Africa but, as you say, run rate could be a tricky issue.

Yeah India do look very strong

Australia won the toss here, it should be easier batting second

 

[Squat]

oh dear. how sad.

 

[mackembhoy]

That's not out

 

[Steak Pie]

Put this in the Louvre.

 

[knowl123]

That's an awful decision, very funny though

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

Weird decision.

 

[Monkey]

His hand was off the bat and not in contact with the other one. Not a great decision.
