What's new

England [305/8] defeat New Zealand [186] by 119 runs to reach Semi-finals of World Cup 2019

Said it yesterday why aint viewers shown the coin when toss is done.

Crickets integrity is at a all time low with eng going crying to icc for flat pitches & ind throwing games so certain teams don't go through. Match ref can be dodgy as hansie cronje

India would rather face Pakistan than England in the semi finals so I am not sure what you are talking about. Now you are accusing all teams of throwing matches just to get Pakistan out? So India, England, New Zealand, umpires all are fixing just for some grand conspiracy against Pakistan? Get over yourself
 
It has been a bad toss trend for Pakistan since the Afghanistan match
 
Pakistan used all of their luck in ct 2017, so even though they are more deserving than nz they won't qualify.

So the entire world is conspiring against pak is what you're saying?
 
guys need to chill out. What happened in the last match on this ground a few days ago. S lanka batted first and scored 338. Whilst windies nearly chased it down. So its not all doom and gloow. Good pitch and 320 very much chaseable. NZ Have to restrict england to around 300
 
I just hope Boult can go on a roll and remove the top 3 in no time.

We needed Lockie in this XI to unsettle the English batsmen with his express short-pitched bowling and England chasing a 300+ score under pressure to save their WC campaign.

If England post a 330+, I don't think NZ will care about what total they make as long as they don't get bowled for under 150. Even if they were to lose by 200 runs, their chances are still good.

Bad signs for Pakistan. It will take a miracle for England's team to lose today.
 
Toss has been not been on Pakistan side India vs eng (eng won toss but we wanted India) ind vs bng (Ind won tops but we wanted bng) same is today we wanted nz but eng won toss and almost win the match as well
 
Any thing over 250 and nz won't we able to chase it considering their fragile batting line up excluding Williamson and Taylor

Garbage post.

The first listed match was the India v Pakistan Test in Calcutta in 1979-80, when Iqbal captained Pakistan. It has been widely alleged that Iqbal determined the outcome of the toss in that Test match. Speaking from Bangalore yesterday, the Indian captain at Calcutta, Gundappa Vishwanath, recalled: "I flicked the coin as the home captain. I saw the coin roll and Asif said: `you've won the toss'."
 
Someone made a fair point about the wicket being supportive. That goes against us as well, NZ might get close to the total and nrr still unharmed

And these things don't happen now.
 
This is the worst possible start for NZ (and Pak) . .
Lockie Ferguson out
Lose the toss
First ball narrowly misses the sttumps . .

If this is a sign for things to come, Pakistan might as well start praying that England puts up 500 and NZ gets to 70 all out :) . .

Although, its a lose lose . . because if England puts up a big total on the board (which seems very likely), NZ is just going to play to ensure their run rate doesn't take a hit . . they won't really bother with the total, bceause they know its near impossible for Pak to surpass them on NRR
 
Why bowl a slower ball when you are getting swing with the new ball?
 
It is WC over for us, as England are batting first. No chance of NZ chasing it down. What a frustrating end.
 
England batsmen are finally in full flow

They will be the team to beat.

England are favourite against India in the semi final
 
Ball is swinging but NZ bowlers cant seem to get their lenghts right!
 
Destruction has started
Pakistan should book return tickets

Disappointing to see Pak fans give up so easily. C'mon guys the match has just begun and you are already talking about Pakistan should book return tickets.

The rest of the cricketing world admires Pak fighting spirit. And here you are giving up after 4 overs!
 
Well this game is over.

Need to make sure we don't lose by 150+ runs.
 
If Eng makes 450+ and gets NZ out for around 100, Pakistan will have a great opportunity to reach Semi by winning against BD.

NZ deserves to be out. They have been riding on luck for so long.
 
NZ:)))
Pakistani fans should stop supporting other teams.They start playing like Pakistan and its painful for their own supporters as well :))
 
Pakistani fans hold your support horses. Wait till 1st innings and then we'll get a clear picture, of which team to support :najam
 
Games on flat pitches are so boring.

One trick ponies England, got exposed by SL of all teams on a decent wicket.

They would have been eliminated by now if they played on the same wickets the rest have.
 
Pakistan fans in utmost dilemma now.... whether to wish for ENG wkts to fall in a heap or 'whether to wish for ENG getting off to a flier so that they can built a massive total and bundle out NZL for a paltry score':lara.

They also made sure they got fresh pitches for this match and India match. Morgan categorically stated he wants those pitches.
 
Reminds me of South African team of 2015 that used to smash 400s but while chasing lost to India and Pakistan both.

Yes, it's **.

India would have beaten them on a decent wicket and they would have been out of the WC.

I miss all the arrogance that you displayed before the start of this World Cup! I still remember the way you mocked Indian Top 3 and how highly you spoke about NZ! Awww! Must have been a tough 40 days for you mate! ;)
 
Any pitch with a semblance of support to bowlers will crush all England hopes. Alas.. these entitles brats get all fresh pitches without an iota of movement .. be it seam/spin

You're going to facing this team in the SFs on a tailored pitch.
