ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

How is it a ridiculous comment? There is a proper league table in the tournament mate. Ofcourse the knockouts count more, but for 90% of the tournament India have been very good.
And should India lose, they’d drop down the league table...

I’m not disputing India’s quality, just that comment.
 
If you've followed sports closely random teams can win knockout games. Best teams win League competitions.

Ridiculous comment, sure!
And I highly doubt you’d revise that comment should India go out tonight and Aus perform flawlessly in the semi and final. You stance seems set in stone that India have been the best team this tourney - seemingly nothing will change that. That’s the part that’s ridiculous mate
 
Is that because of the 2007 World Cup?

I wasn't watching cricket at that point but I've seen that mentioned a few times.

I don't know if that was the trigger, but since then we've moved to formats that guarantee each team more games; it was 6 in 2011 and 2015 and now 9.

The ICC have openly admitted fixing draws to get Pakistan vs India games ( https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket...raws-to-put-india-and-pakistan-in-same-group/ ) so it's silly to think that getting India playing the most games they can isn't one of the principal drivers of this format.
 
This game is not over yet. We'll have the last laugh.

You might specially if pant survives but that comment will remain laughable and stupid. If the number 1 team loses in the final, do they ask for a do over because they were better in the league portion?
 
Looks like Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya are more qualified at seeing out a moving new ball than the guys at the top.
 
Short and outside off against Pandya.. That's what I learnt from watching him in the IPL.
 
Is jadeja any good at batting? Just wondering what India's chances are if NZ takes more wickets.
 
Hopefully the rain stays away. India recovering after that incredible start!
