T20 World Cup thread 🇦🇪 World🏆

Worst beer snakes ever.

I agree it’s all about the toss but is it the conditions or is it the format?

The format is so short that it naturally favours the team chasing? I enjoy the spectacle and the big hitting buy it doesn’t come across as balanced.

Seems to be more balanced over here in the Blast and internationals so I'd definitely say its the conditions

Will always be a slight advantage to chasing save for some extreme conditions. Not enough for it to be a foregone conclusion like it has been this tournament

Hate to see the Aussies win anything. Bunch of arrogant pricks.

Quite funny really, ECB have flung red ball cricket into the bin to win competitions like this
Looks the Aussies will win both this and the Ashes.

Running on before it went for four classless bastards

Unbelievable effort by Australia to be fair

Haven't watched the tournament tbh, gone off really short games after India fucked off last summer during the pinnacle of the sport, a test series.

Well done Aussie the team that got better as the tournament went on especially at the business end.

You haven't missed much. Been some decent cricket but matches a foregone conclusion at the toss in the main

It can’t all be put on the toss mind. NZ were 40/1 off 8, and Guptill ended on 28 off 35.

If they’d gone harder and successfully gambled on getting an extra 20 runs it would have been a different chase for the Aussies.

not saying this because we never reached the final, but the whole thing just did not feel like a World Cup at all

More down to the way they play. They were 45/2 after 8 on Wednesday. Won comfortably

Been shown throughout the entire tournament.

The team bowling first gets more grip from the pitch. So the slower balls from the seamers and spinners can just restrict teams.

Makes the pitch look a different wicket.

16 of the last 17 games won by the chasing side on this ground now. I think that’s a bit too one sided

 

[Silly Point]

Not particularly arsed it's over. Usually am when these sorts of tournaments end

 

[Boinger]

Gutted.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

I hope Starc plays in the Ashes.

 

[I am Boss]

Soon as we hit 106 against SA we should have gave them the win to give them second place
