Yeah, could/should be a tight finish for 3rd/4th
ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
Wishful thinking.
Bangladesh listless again. Good game so far for Pakistan, though they'd wish they had closed out the SA game.
Missed the game annoyingly but heard our bowling attack finally showed up.
You would not even know this tournament was being played in England now. I'm guilty too, barely watched a game for a week.
Important game today, SA vs NZ.
NZ losing might allow a small opportunity for Pakistan, given they also play each other on Saturday.

Bavuma, the ultimate king of the wastemen.
Quinton de Kock is the exact opposite.. wastes no time whatever the pitch, love watching him bat
Wonder when they'll kick on. Would expect it to be anytime now.
We have to push on now or this will be a complete waste.
Another QDK century. What a player

Looks like the writing's on the wall for Mott. The coach should be protecting the players, not the other way around.

Same. If this is the last-ever 50 WC, I'm going out with a whimper.
I can't tell if 350 is a good score by SA here or not. Possibly doing Pak a huge favour if they can close a win by a decent margin.
We should have started pushing earlier, could have gotten to around 380. NZ came close last time, this could be 10 runs short. Hopefully not though. Our bowling attack has been in form as well, and Rabada back and had some rest, so heres to hoping we perform well with the ball as well.
The wicket is a good one, I expect NZ to come very close to it if they play like they did against AUS, if not chase it down.
ECB have done Willey dirty.
Have South Africa set the record for most team runs in a WC?
Not sure actually. Guess they were planning to phase him out after the WC anyway. But still, it's not a good look is it.
I don't think yet, definitely most 6s, I heard earlier though.
Even so - to be part of the touring squad and the only one not to be offered a central contract is a bit lame (of the ECB).
Jansen is having the form of his life right now, 2 crucial wickets in the powerplay.
It's on Rob Key really.
I know it's counter intuitive but I would like India to bowl first against SA when they meet , this Aura of them being invincible while scoring above 300 every time they bat first need to be tested and ideally broken before the knock out games .
The whole contracts being announced during a World Cup was a major debacle.
Latham to win it for NZ after his blunder at the toss.
Yes - that's what I am saying is on Rob Key
Another game with great crowd.
South Africa are worryingly good
NZ's NRR about to be demolished.
Surprised theyre not playing for NRR here
I would have been very happy to see them win this if not for the fact we're clear contenders
SA look a fabulous team
Pakistan chances are slightly back if NZ lose by a margin here. NZ vs Pak will be a cracker to watch.
NZ need to crawl there way to about 230 here
Perennial chokers as soon as we get a semi
Agreed, i think their peaks in all departments except spin bowling are as good or better than India.
Are you in Bangalore? Going for the matches? NZ's next two matches are in Bangalore
I just checked and tickets are unavailable.. may have considered taking the train and going as it's a weekend
Hopefully they'll wind up much earlier and do the tournament a bit of a favour!
This is as good a chance as any to bury all the ghosts of the past!
This is a classic NZ tournament. They're going to limp their way to a final and lose it. They'll probably beat SA in the semi.
Pakistan to do a 92
