squeaky bum time
This is like celebrating another dude giving your gf a good drilling when you couldnt but hey, great to see what you came back posting for
2 sixes are not easy to hit with that slower bouncersI duno. 23 of 11 wasnt it? If he completed that two it was 21 of 10. 2 sixes would have been all it took.
I think it was dk who was on zero after 20 balls. Thats horrendous. If he even hit 5 or 6 runs they probably wouldnt even have risked the second
I have only supported for last 2 years and even I can just feel itMassive day for English cricket, I hope I’m wrong, but as a long suffering England fan I sense it’s going to be one big disappointment again.
It’ll end in disappointment either today or Sunday but one thing we can be sure of is it’ll end in disappointmentMassive day for English cricket, I hope I’m wrong, but as a long suffering England fan I sense it’s going to be one big disappointment again.
I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t.It’ll end in disappointment either today or Sunday but one thing we can be sure of is it’ll end in disappointment
Dhoni gets way too much hate for no particular reason. Can see him silencing his haters in the T20 WC next year.
I keep thinking well why can't we win today? We're a good side.Massive day for English cricket, I hope I’m wrong, but as a long suffering England fan I sense it’s going to be one big disappointment again.
No, he didn't.Btw did Kohli actually say that the format should be changed so that they had an additional advantage coming first?
You already had the advantage of playing against the number 4 team, who were quite average in the tournament. The fecking arrogance of the twit.
Oh he did:No, he didn't.
I think this is an under reported bad decision from yesterday. I know Bhuvi did well but Shami absolutely is our best bowler when it comes to swinging the ball with any help. He also troubled the NZ batsmen a lot in the ODI series in NZ. I know why Kohli prefers Bhuvi and he played him because he thought it was a flat wicket and he wanted a bowler to control runs at the end.Look at the damage henry, boult did. It was a stupid defensive move to drop him.
Agreed.I think this is an under reported bad decision from yesterday. I know Bhuvi did well but Shami absolutely is our best bowler when it comes to swinging the ball with any help.

I don’t think you can criticise bowling selections when they restricted New Zealand to s gettable score. The batsman are to blame for this defeat.I think this is an under reported bad decision from yesterday.

Asked whether he would like to see the tournament follow the model of the Indian Premier League, in which teams who finish top in the regular season get another chance to reach the final if they lose their first play‑off match, the India captain said: “Maybe. If topping the table means anything. I think these things can come into consideration, looking at the magnitude of this tournament. That is a really valid point. You never know when that is going to be implemented.
“You finish No 1 in the table and then a spell of bad cricket and you are out of the tournament completely. But you have to accept it.”
He could have easily dismissed the question by saying that they face the weakest team in the semi final so that is there advantage of coming top, instead of then saying that they should consider giving them another chance like the IPL.Well, that is the format in IPL.. and he was asked that question.
Its not like he brought it up himself..
The whining about the shorter boundary at Edgbaston was worse.
Come on now! Australia haven't won the Ashes over here since 2001. England have also won the last 2 ODI series against Australia 4-1 and 5-0. Yes Australia have a good team and are more than capable of beating England but I think we should be positive today.I keep thinking well why can't we win today? We're a good side.
Then I remember it's England and we're against fecking Australia.
Absolutely. Shami is a wicket taking option and a good foil for Bumrah at the other end. Many people didn't see this as a bad decision but for me it was a another key decision done wrong.I think this is an under reported bad decision from yesterday. I know Bhuvi did well but Shami absolutely is our best bowler when it comes to swinging the ball with any help. He also troubled the NZ batsmen a lot in the ODI series in NZ. I know why Kohli prefers Bhuvi and he played him because he thought it was a flat wicket and he wanted a bowler to control runs at the end.
England fans being overconfident and cocky again. Come on Australia.I keep thinking well why can't we win today? We're a good side.

Yeah that would be such a respectful comment to make on NZ.He could have easily dismissed the question by saying that they face the weakest team in the semi final so that is there advantage of coming top, instead of then saying that they should consider giving them another chance like the IPL.
No, the team that finishes first has an advantage that they face the team that finishes fourth. Or no, IPL format works for IPL but if you want to win the world cup you need to perform in crunch time.Yeah that would be such a respectful comment to make on NZ.
That is the fact, they were fourth in the table and therefore the weakest in the semi final. He could've said the lowest or fourth placed team.Yeah that would be such a respectful comment to make on NZ.
Which has nothing to do with my post.No, the team that finishes first has an advantage that they face the team that finishes fourth. Or no, IPL format works for IPL but if you want to win the world cup you need to perform in crunch time.
You dont bitch about a format and come out with stupidity like give the team finishing first two shots at the cherry. It's like a kid crying try ball after getting out on the first ball.
Or not mention them at all. Somehow you came up with worse answer than Kohli came out with.That is the fact, they were fourth in the table and therefore the weakest in the semi final. He could've said the lowest or fourth placed team.
I am giving you examples he could have said about instead of bitching about the format after bitching about the boundary previously.Which has nothing to do with my post.
Saying things like "Weakest Semi finalists" is just shit and nonsense, downright stupid too. Obviously he should have said "this was the format and this is how it is" simple as that.
Haha yea sure the better answer was whining about the format.Or not mention them at all. Somehow you came up with worse answer than Kohli came out with.
You also saw a couple of posters make the same comment here, its hilarious.Haha yea sure the better answer was whining about the format.
How dare the ICC only India one chance to go through like everyone else. We're special.
