foxfanazer Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Got a bet on Pakistan. Hoping they reach at least 320
Nalis Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 When was the last time a team successfully chased down a total in this tournament? Cos it aint happening today either...

Chiltern Fox Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 So Imam said, they weren't going for it? If so - that's terrible for the pak fans. The priority was to get into the semis even if it meant losing the game in trying. Kop out.
Super_horns Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 Cricket final to be on FTA telly if England get there. Probably put the mockers on it! BBC have the Wimbledon final and Channel 4 the British GP so not sure who will show it ?

Nice gesture, but it'll be too little too late and ultimately have little impact on the future health of the sport in England sadly.
Chiltern Fox Posted 5 July 2019 Posted 5 July 2019 The sporting events that must be shown on free to air tv is part of government legislature. I'm afraid the cricket wc isn't one of the sports. . I dont think the womens football world cup was either but was probably cheap enough for the beeb to buy the rights.

Sky Sports said they would show the event live, although they have not yet revealed which channel it will be on.
EastAnglianFox Posted 6 July 2019 Posted 6 July 2019 So we all hoping it's going to be us against Australia at Edgbaston in the Semi's then?

To win the wc, you need to beat the best teams. They will just concentrate on themselves and doing things right.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 6 July 2019 Posted 6 July 2019 If India can chase a total down, it will give them bags of confidence. SA off to a flyer too. I’d certainly prefer to play Australia away from Lords, plus an India v England final would be showcasing the best two teams in the world.

I agree on india though. They need to successfully chase down a score heading into semis.

You know, I'm not actually convinced that India are one of the two best teams in the world...though they certainly seem to be strolling to victory today.
Chiltern Fox Posted 6 July 2019 Posted 6 July 2019 SA have come to party today. Let's see if Aus can chase this down. Good practice if they need to chase in semi or final.

Very little to choose between India, England and Aus for best 2 teams in the world.
deejdeej Posted 6 July 2019 Posted 6 July 2019 Looks like we'll be playing the Aussies then, hope this doesn't dent their confidence too much

EastAnglianFox Posted 6 July 2019 Posted 6 July 2019 Australia favourites now surely the way Carey is going
Izzy Posted 6 July 2019 Posted 6 July 2019 Great effort this from the Aussies. Starc is some cricketer
Izzy Posted 6 July 2019 Posted 6 July 2019 Just now, Chiltern Fox said: What a game! Great game, really enjoyed that. Where have that SA team been?

TBH though, for me it comes down to strength in depth - I actually thought about the idea of an best XI from all three teams and India would only have 2/3 people in it (I ummed and ahhed about Bumrah rather a lot) - IMO they tend to over-rely on Kohli and Rohit too much (that being said, the Aussies are relying on Starc and Warner similarly right now too): Warner Rohit Kohli Root Stokes Bairstow Carey (wk) Bumrah Starc Archer Wood NB. I would have stuck Finch in there too if there weren't two openers that are better than his own very high standard.
