Australia [288] defeat West Indies [273/9] by 15 runs in ICC World Cup 2019

Man if Windies win this it might be a bigger 'upset' than Pak beating Eng
 
124 from 118 at Trent bridge is nothing. WIs should cruise home here as long as they don’t do anything stupid.

I remember dre russ murdering the English bowlers in a series in trent bridge dre russ tonked two sixes out of the stadium ,lets see how he does today.
 
The target is not that big , but if they keep loosing wickets , it will be another story
 
Shai hope is 66 from 97 balls and people bash babar for scoring a runner ball.People put to much criticism on babar and this needs to be stopped.

Yaar it all depends on match situation.... Had Hope been batting like this when the runrate was skyrocketing then he would be rightly criticized as well. The world is not binary.
 
Surely Zampa has to be brought on with West Indies weaknesses against leg spin.
 
The West Indies players look like they really care about playing well in this World Cup. Which is understandable, they are playing for their future IPL contracts afterall.
 
There is difference when u compare Babar and hope slow innings.Batsmen batting around hope are all big hitters but in babars case better said the least(absolutely pathetic)

Thats not true. They are playing for their own country. Andre Russel bowl faster than leagues in matches as he played for windies

I think it is partly to do with them putting him on a pedestal and expecting miracles from him. He has ignorable limitations. That will look bigger when the team loses. It will be ignored when the team wins.
 
Harsha Bhogle talks some rubbish.

This is a 50/50 game and with a rr of just over 6 required, Windies don't need to anything crazy.

Harsha Bhogle was saying ‘Hope doesn’t seem to enjoy playing short balls, Holding was like ‘ No batsmen in the world enjoy playing short balls’

Stop it bro. Baber got out against WI and look how Pakistan got bundled out for 105. Baber should play his game. If he doesn't score Pakistan will not post big totals.
 
WI 190/4 (34.5 Ovs) • AUS 288 (49.0 Ovs)
West Indies need 99 runs in 91 balls
This game is turning out to a great contest
 
This could be a close game.

Easy win for Aussies.

Or quick finish by Russell. Very interesting watch now
 
Oh man another poor umpiring, this is terrible from the umpires. Seems like ICC fixed this match
 
Poor from Holder, no need to sweep when he is so tall and not his best shot.

Survives both times due to pathetic umpiring.
 
What is this pathetic umpiring??????????????????????
 
Lol this is like Pakistani umpires of yesteryear.

Wasim used to say they'd get decisions in their favour on the strength of the appeal not whether the decision was right or not :))
 
The umpiring has been poor but don't like it when people start saying stuff like its fixing etc. If you have these thoughts best thing is just not to watch.

The umpires are human they will get things wrong
 
Umpires want Aus to win. Even I could tell in live that it was clearly missing leg.

Worst part is many of the decisions given were not even close. I can understand if the decision is marginal. But these blatantly pathetic decisions against WI should be investigated.

You don't want these jokers umpiring in the knockout games.

1 mistake is mistakes happen
2 mistakes is a bad day
3 mistakes is incompetence
4 mistakes is bringing game to disrepute
5 mistakes is suspicious

there have been 5 mistakes by umpires where they incorrectly gave batsmen out and overturned

Do you have any proof if it's fixed ? You don't make accusations like that without proof. Questioning someone of fixing is also questioning their character as well.
 
Andre Russel's confidence these days is NEXT LEVEL. Such belief in his ability. Just look at his body language.

I still don't think there is any fixing involved. But all of those decisions given are not even close. They were missing wickets by some distance.

Umpires are intimidated by Aussies for sure. They are caving into the pressure of Aussies. Mentally weak fellows.
