You do realise that NZ are 132-6? How is that a flat pancake pitch?

The person you're replying to is Pakistani. You're becoming a bit obsessed with Kohli comments though. Think for some reason he has managed to wound you up and the rest of English here
If someone other than Gulbadin had bowled, Pakistan would have probably lost that game. Ifs, buts and all that.
Reserve days are a bit of a no brainer really, you wouldn’t have even needed many to sort it out.
Same for England I reckon. There will be a lot of England were number one in ODI for two years garbage like you lot were sprouting when you lose to Lanka.

It made me laugh, especially as we'd just won.

Its because you see a number of other people moaning about England and their pitches yet forgetting Kohli is moaning about stuff like this. Its the hypocrisy. Personally it was quite funny.
Right, compare wrong decisions in a game vs an actual rained out game. It's all the same
Let's take it a step further. If Stokes wasn't talented England would likely not win their game too Yeah I'm fine with the idea of reserve matches, got no issues with that. Probably should have been decided prior to the World Cup though, I imagine Pakistan's petition for those fell on deaf ears.

I'm comparing the Ifs and Buts but that seems to be go above you. Never mind.
Bring on the semis.It's a wrong comparison. You're comparing the actual competition of the game to external conditions like the weather.
Even Bairstow was complaining about the pitches, so according to your logic even you're an hypocrite for laughing at kohli for moaning.
There's nothing hypocrisy here. People can laugh at whoever they want.
Personally I found it funny. It never wound me up at all.The person you're replying to is Pakistani. You're becoming a bit obsessed with Kohli comments though. Think for some reason he has managed to wound you up and the rest of English here
There's only one fella wound up in here and he's the one whose side is off home.
Are you serious? NZ batting has been shit throughout bar a single batsman. They won almost all their matches due to their bowling unit. This pitch was pretty flat and for all the abuse India got the other day, at least we managed to cross 300 in second innings.
You dont know that for sure as demonstrated by the would have and probably. What we do know is that we wont be at 11 points if there was a reserve day for the Sri lanka game.
I think ICC have do something about the ODI format though. Correct me if I'm wrong but England, Australia and India haven't lost a match where they have batted first. The toss shouldn't play such a big role in result.
Kohli compared the boundary of the pitch while scoring 27 in the first 10 overs. If the boundary was so small, why did they only score 1 six in the entire innings. The criticism after the game and a go at an excuse was laughable.
Bairstow was just having a massive moan. England havent lost because of pitches, they've lost in the games they have because they have been shite.
Yes and this is unfair for them too? How is this hard to get.
BTW, you can't suddenly dig a hole in the pitch before the game and tell the opposition "oi if I'm playing on it so will you be so we're fair here right".
An extreme example to portray that "you had the same boundary" isn't a valid reply to what Kohli said. Whether he was right or wrong and if a shortened boundary matters that much, I don't know.
Bizarre that English fans have any issues with people labelling the team flat track bullies when Bairstow himself confirmed that to be the case.
How can you determine that is not down to the pressure of chasing and it is up to teams batting second to play better?
Do you mean to say that England are mentally weak in WC when it comes to chasing cos they've chased a lot of big totals before in ODIS?
Tension growing in here. Just hope Aussies win their last game so we get another Eng-Ind and send this thread into overdrive.
I don't think NZ have been better than Bangladesh or us tbf.
They should do something fun like a bowl off and if you win you get to choose to bat or bowl. At least you’d earn the right then.
Yes, I think the pressure does get to them. They should have chased the SL total off but they succumb to pressure and produce brain farts. Seems to be tournament pressure.
I don't think so to be fair. They're all experienced players. Regardless, the pressure in the India match was far higher than what it was against Lanka. If they had to choke then they'd have done it against India.
Chasing for everyone in this tournament seems very tough.
It's just a shame that you Pakistani fans won't be able to indulge in the SF banter
Huh? We will be able to give it to both sides.
Yeah that is definitely a factor. We came into the tournament with the preference from both the English and Indian captains to bowl first and chase. Now that has been flipped on it's head.
I'm in agreement that there should have been rain days but that kind of stuff should have been sorted out before by the ICC.
Huh? We will be able to give it to both sides.
Yeh bhi sahin hain.
English translation : fair enough
Agree with that too.
There's no logic to our collapses, test cricket should have shown anyone that.
