ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
I know all about their choking history but that’s got to change one day.You're not familiar with the history of the South Africa?
Every time we choke it becomes harder to change the trend
This time you'll do it. Believe.
Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me thrice, etc etc
Australia win the toss and bat first. Pitch showing inconsistent bounce so far.
Question, is there a reason India’s first game in this World Cup (in India and against Australia no less) doesn’t appear to be sold out?
India had a great start, and then decided to bowl Hardik for some reason
I think it'll fill up by the 2nd innings. Do remember its extremely hot there so people do avoid the sun.
Anyone got any rivers? I’m travelling and using a VPN for Hotstar isn’t working
@zing is there I believe. Will be interesting to hear from him later tonight
R/Cricket seems to think loads of tickets are reserved for politicians and their friends by the BCCI who just aren't bothering to turn up
They're selling tickets in tranches as well. India vs Pakistan is less than a week ago and >10% tickets were only opened for sale today...R/Cricket seems to think loads of tickets are reserved for politicians and their friends by the BCCI who just aren't bothering to turn up
Alex Carey has completely collapsed after the Ashes incident and it's absolutely wonderful to watch.
Rattled.
Rattled.
Is this just the pitch helping or are the Aussies just having a very bad day, just turned it on 140/7 with still 13 overs to go
I am not, actually. It was not possible to get tickets - no availability. I don't know why it's empty because I know lots of people who wanted to go

This is the most likely reason. I know you might actually find it funny not being from India but this is actually super common, so I was a little bemused reading this post
No one is beating India on these pitches

Majority of the pitches won't be like this for ODIs usually..
The spin stuff is usually for the tests
India preparing 400 run pancakes for other teams and rank turners for themselves
Like the FIFA World Cup, most likely that tickets being held for sponsors being released late.
Stadium is almost full.
I don't have any faith in our batting line up against any spin bowling. But we should still be winning this chasing 200-210.
Raining ducks
What a start by the Aussies
Good bowling by the Aussies, but 2 reckless shots by players who should be further down the order. Rahul should have opened.
Same thing Sri Lanka did in the Asia Cup final. Kept swinging at everything and getting out
Our fantastic batting performance in ICC tournament continues. Useless team.
That Kohli drop will be massive. You have to take it when it’s someone like him. Criminal drop.
Carey really messed up that catch he needed to back out and not get in Marsh's eyeline
Zampa hasn’t been the same since Klaasen took him to the cleaners.
Top innings by these two. Also, shows how good Indian spinners were.
Very dull start to this tournament.
Good win for India after the start. The dropped catch was the turning point. Just like in the Ashes I am not a fan of Cummins as captain
Why do you say that?
5 one sided games?
England lost
Zampa was complete garbage on a pitch, that aided every other spinner in some way. What's happened with him?
Klassen
What's been good? No drama at all so far.
