The Cricket Thread

Of course they won’t the BCCI will just call it sour grapes, thing is they don’t need to do that they should walk to the title.
India are like the kid with the ball and if you don’t play to their rules and needs they’ll take it away.

23 wickets @ 9.13 for Shami. Insane.

All eggs are now in the South African basket, but we know they choke semis

 

[jd1981]

This will go down as the most boring predictable tournament ever and not just in cricket.

 

[Tony Towner]

Sigh

 

[Dinowolf]

Correct.
Australia through to the final to face India.

 

[Tony Towner]

Hobsons choice, but I want the Aussies to win tomorrow

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

God no. That would be unbearable. I’m going to pretend cricket doesn’t exist for a couple of months.

 

[Tony Towner]

India 3 down after 10 overs and Bumrah in at 8 so a long tail

 

[leedswolf]

Hobsons choice, but I want the Aussies to win tomorrow

Nah.

 

[Tony Towner]

This could be funny

 

[jd1981]

Still think this will be really close

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Smith decides not to review for the first time in years and turns out he was outside the line. So strange. It's a World Cup final!

 

[PuntsWolf]

No idea why they didn’t review it. Certainly looked worthy as I wouldn’t have given it out on field and so it proved

 

[jd1981]

India completely bottled that final if it was against anyone else I’d laugh but Australia having their ego massaged is nothing to cheer.

 

[Tony Towner]

The lesser of 2 evils in my view, albeit the worst final possible in terms of participants

 

[jd1981]

Yep arrogance number 1 v arrogance number 2, it’s funny that India have destroyed everyone for 10 games then had a day off when it mattered.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

There was a game? I must have missed it. What a shame.

 

[Tony Towner]

You won it
