You can read into any match like that lol Boult was cranking up 140k against India in the first round. But he was like bowling at 130k against Pakistan. They even dropped Ferguson. Brought even slower 120 k Southee.
Oh tonight
For some reason i was thinking tomorrow !!!Sorry didn't get you. Since I am in the UK its still tomorrow for me.Oh tonight
For me US time. Technically tomorrow for me as well.
Same here - 12.30 AM (Pacific time)
So what US time zone are you in? I am in the CT Texas zone and waking up at 2.30 am lol alarm all set!
.. Kids will be sleeping and I can watch it peacefully! They think cricket world is a boooring game - little do they know what an amazing game cricket is and what they are missing out! 
But if it's for ipl contract reasons then ipl has been going on since 2007.
Man- I am in the Texas CT zone - you are lucky you start to watch early before the day begins !! Same here - watching peacefully as kids and wifey are asleep and not bugging me lol !Same here - 12.30 AM (Pacific time)
Not sure if I can watch the whole game but will try to catch up whatever I can in between some sleep (without disturbing my wife and kid)
That's complete peace lol ! Get some good snacks and food and settle in for the long haul!For me wife and kids visting India so can see the match (and final) peacefully
Lmao why are India getting a say in the pitch. Not sure if this is normal for hosts. This is an international event not a bilateral series where the home team can dictate what is used,Cheaters
As clutch as rishab has been in tests he failed in odi world cup 2019 semis and also in wtc 2021. Very surprising tbh.
Yea I am confused by this too. Besides india don't even need such pitches to win. Infact these can backfire lol. Seen it happen many times.
India would be favorites with a normal Wakhede pitch. To freaking tamper with pitches only puts an asterisk on a potential WC win.
And Dart bhajan parroted the same, only to be proven how wrong he/they were (like always).
Dart bhajan? As in Harbhajan?
Every single time some tabloid starts this. last time also they shared some dodgy pictures captured during the middle of pitch preparation and created a narrative.
Yep, the same darty who is always salty about Ashwin.
Ah right. So they had some issues? I sw a video not too long ago about those 2 being friendly.
Of course l, they won't come to blows in public eye.
All eyes on the pitch, if it is slow ICC should open an investigation.
India has refused to tour us for far longer, refuse to let our players take part in IPL, refuses to let us host the tournaments that we are entitled to and overall despises us and our cricket team. If they could, they would ban us from ever playing again. No way will I root for a team that despises. We have been treated far fairer by all of the SENA cricket boards. Additionally, they refused to let our fans come watch the World Cup or even our journalists be granted visas to ask questions.
India is as bad as us with infighting and politics lol
Yes. We are a little more sophisticated that's all
Thats still everything to do with a political angle. Shouldn't interfere with sports but unfortunately due to the topsy turvy nature of our cross border relation, politicians use sport as a vehicle to posit their rubbish propaganda.
Funnily enough I think n has a better chance go beat India in a slow sluggish pitch if toss is won. This excessive pitch rigging often backfires. I think it will be flat tbh. Not surer flat but a 280 to 300 score pitch.
The PCB are not blameless in this entire saga if you see the early history. But I agree that the BCCI has been the bigger criminal of the two. It's also perfectly understandable for a Pakistani cricket fan to resent and wish the Indian team failure. Doesn't mean we don't troll you back though
The government and their fans both support this bro - just read any comment section online about the Pakistani cricket team. It’s always flooded with Indian Cricket fans saying vile things about us.
Yeah bro, it’s part of the game. We’re rivals, of course we will troll each other when we failThe PCB are not blameless in this entire saga if you see the early history. But I agree that the BCCI has been the bigger criminal of the two. It's also perfectly understandable for a Pakistani cricket fan to resent and wish the Indian team failure.

no hard feelings
Inshallah you lose both.
All fairness out of the 4 teams NZ is the strategy based side like they are always Goes back to the days of 1992. Right hander means they bring on Left arm spinner, let hander means off spinners. They do all the basic things correct. In high pressure games that is all you need to do. Do simple plans and execute them. India is one team that quiet often falls for it albeit in conditions that overly favorable for them. They do the same against Australia. But they get thrashed because before they blink Australia unloaded their fury on them. Any team that does that can easily outplay NZ. Fakhar Zaman did it. They were witless. Australia also did that. But i have total respect for NZ batting. Conwa/Ravindra/Kane/Mitchell. 4 gun players. That is all you need to put a good total.
Bro, once they do that next some of the posters here will allege that Sholay coin was used and hence India won the toss.
Point 3, exposing chuckers which might be a bit personal for Bhajji.
In case it's proven that the toss is not dodgy, they can always complain that the balls given to India were different from those given to the opposition.
Lol, they have already done this.
Why let facts get in the way of a good story?
Bat first. But batting under lights get easy once you survive for the first 10 overs in 2nd inningsRohit sharma flips the coin heads is called by kane williamson and it is tails india have won the toss what are u gonna do rohit?
i wont be shocked if that happens
there is no conspiracy theory it is clear fact proven that bcci has changed the pitch last minute
You can log your "facts" also in that thread.
)
There Should be no excuse for shami today since the pitch will suit india
Shami with his off spinners will weave magic
