ODI World Cup


Voice of fair play said:
Up to you, I think both sides deserve credit for performances.

One team won 10 in a row

Another 9 in a row.

It’s perfectly valid to praise both sides considering the above imo

One team won nine in a row after losing 2 on the trot
The other lost their only game when it really mattered
Australia prove time and time again that when the chips are down they invaraibly still win. They did it earlier this summer against us. They have a mentality superior to any other.
Had we been playing the Indians today there is no way we would have
a. Halted the initial Indian charge
b. Fought back so convincingly in such an atmosphere when 3 down for less than 50
You can only admire the Aussies imo

Not sure what you mean as I am not debating who is the better side?

Just said both sides have performed well in the tournament and both over the course of it played some really good cricket?

I would have thought that more than fair?

I would be rather give credit for good sporting performance than someone like you who hates this team or that team be it football or cricket.

Would hate to have your outlook on things

Yeah they have. But the best team won. All I’m saying.

The Indian fans booed the on-field umpires and third umpires as they received their medals.

I'm glad they lost. Classless as fuck.

One of the joys of cricket is when it doesn't resemble football.

I think there is a difference between criticism of the classless Indian fans and the India team itself.

Always thought the likes of Rohit, Burmah, Jadeja, came across ok
