Boom Boom Bumrah!
ICC Cricket World Cup 2019
- Thread starter Samid

That's how you do death bowling.
India's second best cricketer is Jasprit Bumrah. I'd take him over Rohit.
Shami needs few lessons from Bumrah.
World No 1 for a reason. What a bowler !
Yes the squad we originally picked was poor but we cannot do much now so a shock can only be good if it allows us to change something but we cannot change anything. SO it's better to win everything now.
Am I right in thinking England can only finish third if they win tomorrow?
Yes. SO it is most likely India England then.
Very unlikely to be washout though, no?
Added an edit. Eng finish fourth if they and Pak both lose.
Good win in the end and a good fight by Bangladesh. Over to you England.
And that Orange jersey will be back. Should be a fun match. One thing is for sure we won't be lacking any intent this timeOn the same ground too
I think it's time we pay you back for 99
Think India will beat Sri Lanka and Australia will slip up against SA. Making it an England-Australia semi.
Zero % chance of rain on Friday in London. Think regardless of tomorrow's result, Bangla will beat Pak.
Eng to win tomorrow making Ban/Pak inconsequential. However it will be funny if Eng lose tomorrow and Pak blow their chance by losing to Bangladesh.
I actually wouldn't mind facing England again at Edgbaston, would be a good game and beating them would give us immense confidence going into the Finals. Also cannot see Aus losing to SA.
Would be great for us. Would mean we will face NZ in semis.
They go into the match, at least, with many things the way they want them. With the weather improving all the time, this Durham pitch looks hard and full of runs; the England management reckon it is the best batting surface they have encountered so far. And while there are aches and pains throughout the squad, Jofra Archer and Jason Roy are both deemed to be fit. Mark Wood is sore but should be fit, leaving Moeen Ali again likely to miss out.
NZ got lucky with the washout vs India.
Weather in England has been sunny for past week or more. All pitches now returning to their normal self. Even yesterday you saw 300+ scores in both innings. Early days but weather forecast for few days before semi final at Birmingham is for rain so dunno how that will affect things.
Is Bumrah as good a bowler of Yorkers as anybody in the history of the game? Genuine question.
This will spark a lot of debate but the truth is we can't tell because we didn't have as good camera angels/analysis before this.
Just have to hope his action doesn’t take too much toll on his body to the point he has to start taking breaks to avoid injury
Cricket was getting slagged off in the general forum thread.
It's nice to come on here with people that get it

India have qualified with one game left and winning all but one game and yet the fans are always finding faults with the squad . Spolit set of fans

Don't really blame them. If you're not somehow connected to the 12-14 countries that play it at the top level chances are you don't know what it is.
The biggest newspaper in my country mentions cricket about three times every year. A couple of days ago they wrote about bees stopping play between SL-SA. Today they wrote about how Gabriel got hit by a flying bail and almost lost his eye with Rihanna in the stands. Last year they wrote about ex-cricketer Imran Khan becoming PM, the ball tampering scandal, and some SL player suspended for rape. No mention at all of any on field action. I guess it's the same story in most other countries too. Cricket is irrelevant in majority of the countries.
Oh I know.
It's weird, I love cricket but I can see why so many don't.
It's not an easy game to understand quickly.
I agree with the general sentiment of this post. With that being said, when you are from one of these nations and you do get cricket it’s a fecking brilliant game. Far better than any sport bar football for me, and there are so many unique things about it.
For example, there’s nothing else in sport for me that can match ebb and flow of a test match, or the pure explosiveness of an IPL match. Cricket is great stuff
Agreed.
It's a fair bit boring similar to baseball, with frequently not much action. To top it its a day long (ODI) which ironically is the best format imo particularly for a keen follower. Despite that I see the attraction of T20 for the casual fan.

I simply dont get the attraction towards T20 leagues. They are all so boring and meaningless. Who cares what X franchise wins? It just seems so plastic to me.
Not to mention how they always bring in the boundaries and it makes big shots so meaningless.
That said it's the best way to promote the game it seems.
So, KL now showing that his test innings are actually crucial since we have no batting after Kohli. Long live his 65 ball 50s.
You would think that, but I do feel quite strongly about my country’s franchise in the Caribbean T20 league. It doesn’t feel plastic to me at all.
A T20 is exciting from start to finish, and it’s an excellent night out if you go to the match live.
Lockie is out, duck.
Ambati Rayudu retires from International Cricket. Will play only in the IPL.
Being overlooked for Mayank Agarwal was the straw on the camel's back I suppose.

Was he better than the options picked?
No he was a garbage player who was somehow getting chances. Good riddance.
Day 35: England vs New Zealand
England win the toss(bat first) and the match.
