ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

He looked okay against Nicholls. I'd be more worried about Hardik and the fact that Williamson looks ridiculously in good touch. He just shouldn't be a fifth bowler for us. Useless
Pandya has been fantastic this tournament. Don't know what youve been watching.

Wtf.
 
Was a bad toss to lose. Hopefully the bowlers can find a way back in
 
20 off next 30 from Jadeja and pandya.. just nonsensical. You can't have two defensive options in the mid 30.

I'd argue Chahal over Yadav is also tending towards the more defensive option. Yadav is a lot more capable of ripping through a team than Chahal, even if he hasn't quite shown it so far this world cup.
 
I actually don't understand why India are batting so deep. Their openers are going to eat up 200 out of 300 balls anyway.
 
Karthik strangely eager to rub Hardik's hip flexor
 
Fecking stars aligning for NZ only to lose to Eng or Aus in the finals
 
They're going at 3.7 and people on here believe they somehow will get to 320+ :lol:

We started same way against Eng and still got 300+, that too with Dhoni not trying to score at the end. NZ can capitalise on this slow start too - outfield is lightening quick and does not look like the pitch would help spinners at all.
 

:lol: They will deserve all the stonings if they lose this match due to pathetic team selections. Karthik playing in semis having batted for less than 10 balls, Jadeja just his second match in semis and no 6th bowling option whatsoever.

300 should be comfortablely obtained.

You got to 300 because Kohli and Sharma batted for 30 overs. NZ don't have that kind of batting. Nicholls, Latham are wastemen in this format and Kane doesn't have a higher gear.

They had 4 runs from the first 4 overs.. 27 after 10.

They are scoring at a decent rate now.. have wickets .. and india are playing 2 part time/non specialist bowlers.. and one of them seems to have gone off injured.

I dont think 320 is on.. close to 300.. could be, if they bat well.

And the pitches in this WC get slower in the second innings.

Yes, NZ would definitely big innings from either Williamson or Taylor as well. CDG and Neesham can score at a quick pace for them.
 
Finely balanced game. Williamson they key wicket here for India.
