[kron]

[kron]

India
Aus
SA
Nz

Top 4. Enjoy. Lol.

 

[mominsaigol]

Bring it on .we are ready for challenge.

For sure bro, for sure.

 

[mominsaigol]

Aus maybe. Nz is a nobody. They will lose. Aus are champions calibre I agree but today they were poor. Have zero faith in their bowling to win KO tbh.

Naw, although tbf, I am am biased to Australia and New Zealand as Pakistani fans are to rizwan lol.

But we are champions and don't mock our neighbours. Aus vs NZ final 2015 repeat.

 

[Devadwal]

For sure bro, for sure.

Anyone came between us and trophy ,we will destroy them

 

[jnaveen1980]

This was one of the best chase in world cup history.

 

[mominsaigol]

Anyone came between us and trophy ,we will destroy them

Like we destroyed you in 2015? And my neighbours destroyed you in 2019? In semi finals on 2 seprate occasions?

Past is past no one change that . Australia were strong team so they were deserved to win but we were robbed against NZ due to rain .
NVM no excuses for past lose but we will win this world cup.

You will be robbed again. And you will likely meet me in the semi finals or my neighbours in the semi finals.

Don't think you'll face SA., but semi final is your exit. So enjoy while you can.

 

[Devadwal]

Don't be so overconfident

We never win against NZ from past 20 year in ICC event but this time we broke that jinx .now we will win against NZ in semifinals at Mumbai .

 

[Devadwal]

You will be robbed again. And you will likely meet me in the semi finals or my neighbours in the semi finals.

Don't think you'll face SA., but semi final is your exit. So enjoy while you can.

We will win the trophy by defeating both NZ and Australia twice in this world cup .
Semifinal win against NZ and Final win against Australia

 

[mominsaigol]

We will win the trophy by defeating both NZ and Australia twice in this world cup .
Semifinal win against NZ and Final win against Australia

Is the semi finals between 1 and 4, and 2 and 3?

I thought it was 1 and 3 and 2 and 4?

Because imo I think aus will reach no 3 in charts with nz no 4. Aus got some easy games coming up that's why. So does NZ, but aus has more easy games coming up

 

[kron]

Naw, although tbf, I am am biased to Australia and New Zealand as Pakistani fans are to rizwan lol.

But we are champions and don't mock our neighbours. Aus vs NZ final 2015 repeat.

Nha nz perennial chokers. Never rated them but great today.

After today though it's anyone's game in semis. Aus or india should win the cup.

 

[Devadwal]

[batandballbattle]

Nice to see another thriller.
Starc tried his very best to lose it at the end there lol

 

[mominsaigol]

Yes it's between 1st and 4th , 2nd and 3rd .

So India and NZ semi final then.

Hmm, honestly I want NZ to win but I feel India will edge through.

India vs aus is anyones game. Aus can have the worst team in the planet but in knock out stages their always super human lol . No more England to bazzball them this time around

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Yes Australia is different beast in ICC knockout game .but if you want to win the world cup you have to beat every team so I don't mind whoever we face in Semifinals .

 

[Devadwal]

Starc is a poor man's shaheen

Lol Starc>>>>>> Shaheen

 

[Devadwal]

Mitchell Starc has gone wicketless in a World Cup match for the first time in history.

Australia clung on to win off the final ball against New Zealand in the highest-scoring match in the history of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.

Set an improbable 389 to win, New Zealand were inspired by Rachin Ravindra’s outstanding century to set up a nail-biting finish.

Jimmy Neesham’s extraordinary 58 from 39 balls took them to the cusp of an extraordinary comeback victory, only for a brilliant run out to remove Neesham off the penultimate ball of the innings.

And Mitchell Starc held his nerve with six required off the last ball, denying number eleven Lockie Ferguson as the Black Caps ended on 383/9 and Australia won a classic by just five runs.

Runs flowed in an unusual first innings for Australia, as they posted 388 at the picturesque ground in the foothills of the Himalayas.

A remarkable opening partnership between David Warner (81 from 65) and the returning Travis Head (109 from 67) got Pat Cummins’ side off to a blistering start.

Head’s first appearance of the tournament was a memorable one, as he slammed 17 boundaries, including seven maximums, in his brilliant century.

But, with the opening pair having put on 175 in just 19 overs, Australia struggled to keep their foot to the floor through the middle overs.

Mitchell Marsh (36 from 51 and Marnus Labuschagne (18 from 26) got particularly bogged down, with Glenn Phillips bowling superbly for 3/37 off ten overs, stepping up at just the right time for his team when Lockie Ferguson was forced off with an injury early in his spell.

Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis and Pat Cummins exploded through the death overs to boost Australia’s score, but their 388 could have been even higher, with New Zealand taking four wickets for just 1 run in the last two overs to bowl their neighbours out for 388.

But that 388 proved just enough on the night, as Dharamsala was treated to an all-time epic.

Match 27: Australia 388 beat New Zealand 383/9 by five runs
Devon Conway and Will Young provided the perfect start to the Black Caps in a steep chase, hitting a flurry of boundaries to help New Zealand reach 50 in merely 31 balls

However, Australia soon had their first breakthrough, when Conway took on a short delivery from Josh Hazlewood and tried to angle it behind him, with Mitchell Starc taking a stunning grab towards his right and sending the batter back.

The Hazlewood-Starc combination struck once more in the first Powerplay. This time, it was Conway's partner, Young who had to depart to another sharp Starc catch.
Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell then took control for the Kiwis and kept the chase on track. Mitchell, in particular, was quite aggressive and helped himself to yet another good score in Dharamsala. His 54 included six fours and a six, and his brisk knock came to an end when he holed an Adam Zampa delivery to long-on, where Starc took his third catch of the innings.
Ravindra continued from the other end, picking up pace and hitting some big shots after the mid-innings mark.

Even though New Zealand lost skipper Tom Latham for merely 21, Ravindra's attacking strokeplay kept the scoring rate up.

And the youngster’s stunning tournament continued apace as he brought up another century – a knock that was cheered to the rafters by a packed crowd in Dharamsala.

The removal of the dangerous Glenn Phillips was followed by an end to Ravindra’s stunning 89-ball 116, with captain Cummins getting the key wicket to put his team on top.

But Neesham very nearly pulled off a miracle for New Zealand, with Australia’s nerves shredded in a nail-biting finish.

Australia’s huge first-innings effort

Earlier, Head scored 109 from just 67 deliveries at the top of the order, in what was his first match of the tournament, as Australia put their trans-Tasman rivals to the sword by posting 388 in good batting conditions.

Australia were also helped by contributions at the death from Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis, and Pat Cummins, whose quickfire knocks helped the side rack up 96 runs in the final powerplay.

A number of missed chances punctuated the New Zealand fielding effort, although Trent Boult did them something to cheer about late in the innings, with a three-wicket penultimate over.

Returning to the Australia side after recovering from a fractured hand, Head combined with fellow opener David Warner (81 from 65 balls) as Australia put on 175 for the opening wicket on their way to the massive total.

Head and Warner punished anything loose from the usually reliable Kiwi bowlers and smashed 10 sixes within the first Powerplay alone as they amassed 118 without loss to take control of the contest.

It took some clever bowling from Trent Boult (3/77) and the outstanding Glenn Phillips (3/37) to ensure Australia did not post an even bigger total, with the Kiwis also hurt by the absence of tearaway quick Lockie Ferguson.

Ferguson conceded 38 overs through three expensive overs, but was taken from the field after his spell after he experienced pain in his right Achilles.

It meant the likes of Rachin Ravindra (0/56) and Jimmy Neesham (1/32) had to fill the void with the ball, and the likes of Maxwell (41), Inglis (38) and Cummins (37) took advantage by landing some lofty late blows to help Australia get close to 400.

But Boult’s three-wicket over helped wrap the innings up, with those runs proving quite significant in a nervy finish to the game a few hours later.

Australia XI: Travis Head, David Warner, Mitch Marsh, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Josh Inglis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

New Zealand XI: Devon Conway Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham, Glenn Phillips, Jimmy Neesham, Mitch Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult.

Quite rich looking at your past records. It's a usual sight India crusing through in group stage, fans and ICC start chest thumping and then comes the crashing out like chokers when it matters the most.

Despite all the perks India get from ICC, they haven't won any ICC trophy since 2013.

I think India may lose in semi somehow.

Starc is a poor man's shaheen

Shaheen has been wayward lately too tbh, although he did well against aus and SA

 

[Aman]

Aussies too good in the end. Proud of the team for that brilliant chase. Just fell short in the end.

Despite orientation of cricket what has England achieved in cricketing history ? .they have all the icc and Power for 40 year roughly.
Despite biggest league of football ,when was the last time England won the fifa world cup .
what has Bangladesh achive from past 25 year ? Anything significant .

 

[Devadwal]

Quite rich looking at your past records. It's a usual sight India crusing through in group stage, fans and ICC start chest thumping and then comes the crashing out like chokers when it matters the most.

At least we are reaching in semi or finals of ICC event regularly unlike other team who are using calculator to calculate how can they reached in semifinals .

Reaching and then choking? Atleast one doesn't need a calculator for that you are right

We are just one steps closer to ICC trophy unlike some pathetic teams who are losing to minnows .

Good old whataboutism.

 

[Devadwal]

Keep up your whataboutism.

Despite all the pampering from ICC, no major trophy since 2013. This may continue for a while.

We have 5 icc titles 2nd best after great Australian side.
What Bangladesh have big zeros. Keep crying about bcc or ICC

 

[Kriketer]

Being closer and eventually lifting are two very different things

No ones going to remeber who played the semis or final with barely a few countries playing this sport. More pathetic is when you chest beat so much but still choke.

 

[Rana]

So Netherlands are also in the race for top 4?

You need to educate yourself, being closer to target is right step for success. Success only get when you're try it again and Again.
But success not came by losing to minnows and not reached at semifinals of ICC world cup .

 

[Devadwal]

So Netherlands are also in the race for top 4?

They are not but they should be happy .now defending champion is bottom of the point table if Netherlands win tonight.

You made the comment of destroying other teams, the regular chest beating so I only reminded you some facts from last several international ICC tournaments. All that ghamand for playing majority at home in India. India is a strong team no doubt but when you ll actually rule cricket for decades like Aussies or West Indies then making destroying comment would actually make more sense. Until the time you don't need calculator for choking records, I would suggest not flying too high.

Then you should read which poster I replied ,what was our conversation . It's was not a chest thumping but light hearted joke

 

[Suleiman]

That’s 3 WCs in a row NZ has looked like a legit threat. They were p mediocre in ODIs up around 2014-2015 when they kicked on.

Probably going to lift the cup soon, if not in this edition, then the next one. Have plenty of players developing in their system. Didn’t really go into “transition” mode unlike England. Seem to have a like for like replacement for whichever player gets old and out of form.

 

[deltexas]

This is why I love being an Australian citizen and love my neighbours.

Word class game of cricket. Good job to both teams.

Man- Aus is my favorite team after Ind.. love their attitude and never give up attitude right from the 90s..great players great teams.. the 96 W C final.loss was a turning point for them. They revamped their cricket totally then , got on aggressive players like Gilchrist, Ponting at 3, later got in Hayden, symonds etc, made Steve Waugh the captain... but the recent aussie teams later 8 years or.so have been a bit of a softees due to the ipl effect ! They are not mean, abrasive or sledgy anymore..joking with Ind team players during match-- never would have happened with the previous Aus teams- they would have sledged and asked to f off and be very mean and aggressive lol !! Miss those teams ..

Most heroic defeat ever in world cup by Kiwis ?Best ever game in epic run chase in world cup ?Australians complacent in the final stages of game letting Kiiws come so close ?

Debatably yesterday's game between Australia and New Zealand ranks amongst the best ever or most intense ODI's with suspense of a Hollywood thriller ,with a possibility of twists or turns in the plot to the very end.New Zealand staged one of the most heroic acts of defiance or rear guard actions facing a challenge to mammoth total in an ODI or a World Cup.At every juncture when they were in dire straits ,they relentlessly clawed themselves back,whether after the fall of Mitchell or Ravinder.In my view arguably the bets ever performance in a losing run chase.Combative spirit was shown in heights rarely transcended in a world cup.

Australia were most calculated and clinical,always clawing back to wrest the initiative to be in the drivers seat.Midway they lost the plot in their innings ,but finally staged a great recovery.Possibly,in the end they were unable to nail the Kiwis after Ravinder was dimsissed,or deliver a knockout punch.Ravinder's batting was classical,transcending brilliance in heights rarely surpassed in big run chases.

One of cricket's most intense,hard fought and absorbing tussles,with the Kiwis making the impossible look possible,till the last delivery.Australians must take credit for not buckliog,under pressure.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Probably one the best matches of this world cup so far after that Pakistan vs South Africa game. Close matches that go down to the last ball are always entertaining.

 

[7sins]

Willey shown more form with the bat than butler looks like he waiting for next Rajasthan royals match

 

[7sins]

Now even for England there pakistan game is a must win one and they ahev to win earlier to improve the net rr to quality for the champions trophy

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Terminator Travis Head


He will win Australia the WC. My gut feeling is that he will play a blinder against India.

Great call.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They are the only team that can beat us even on our best day and if we play our best cricket .

Called it then and there. This was the match Travis Head came back. There was little to choose between these two sides once he was back.
