Similarities between 1992 and 2019 | Are we winning again?

[Green Patriot]

Now i understand

All clear now.
We can enjoy our Sunday instead of seeing India getting tonked all over.

It's all in the stars

 

[hadi123]

Looks like India's performance will not let this happen.

 

[batfirst]

If this continues like this then Sarfaraz will be the Prime Minister of Pakistan
in 2045. lol

 

[JibranAnsari]

in 1992 australia saved us from elimination by beating west indies , can newzealand do this for us this time by beating england? (in case we won against bd)

 

[Napa]

What's your take on IndEng match?

<b>Lot depends upon who bats first and whether Roy and Bhuvi are back.</b> If England bats first, they could bat India out of the game. India has played well up to this point, but they haven't chased a big score against a good team yet.

If Bhuvi is marginal, India may decide not to play him. English batsmen could then feast on Pandya and Shankar. England's bowling today was actually quite good.

As I said, a lot depends upon who bats first. With both sides capable of scoring 330+, the team batting first has a definite advantage.

1992:
India loses to England
England loses to New Zealand

2019:
India loses to England
England loses to New Zealand(?)

Looks like all hope ain’t lost folks, let’s support Kiwis now that our neighbours let us down.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

There is also one another similarity now, just like 1992 we need to back one team to defeat another team in their last group game, who is competing with us for the Semi-Final spot with respect to points.

1992: Australia beat West Indies in the last group game, otherwise we would have been disqualified. Australia batted first scored 216 and won by 50 odd runs.

2019: New Zealand will beat England Inshaallah in their last group game.

 

[JaDed]

Good that India lost if not the 1992 analogy wouldn't be satisfied.

 

[Mercurial]

1992:
India loses to England
England loses to New Zealand

2019:
India loses to England
England loses to New Zealand(?)

Lol, this is unbelievable. It is happening.

 

[greatest]

It's going to be an England Australia final. The 1992 finalist met in a 5 match Test series in England just after the World Cup. So, now it's the 5 match Ashes.
From my predictions..Australia will defeat England in the final. Starc might emulate Akram.

Wow. The similarities keep presenting.

It's coming home!

Austraila vs Windies in 1992 was played on wednesday. EngvsNZ is also on wednesday.

Eng will best Aus :fixed

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I still think Pakistan will win it

Pakistan vs NZ final just like France vs Croatia

 

[BreadPakoda]

Need to win against Bangladesh and the group result pattern will be replicated. I back Pakistan to accomplish that.

 

[DHONI183]

* Well, the last time before today that England beat New Zealand in a world cup match was back in 1983.

* The 1983 World Cup was also held in England.

There, just there I´ve given Indian fans a platform to carry on with their similarities. Over to you, guys!

 

[RainStopsPlay]

Did Pak score 600 against BD in 1992?

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Last time England reached in semi final was in1992

 

[GrandMaster]

This will be one hell of a match, expecting a cracker of a game. Fight for the #2 Asian team.

 

[Chokli]

Lol, this is unbelievable. It is happening.

Unfortunately was all a coincidence

 

[PakLFC]

Oh this is the thread where some posters are on about the spooky similarities between the 1992 WC win and this campaign. Not spooky enough it seems!!))))

In 1983, India and England had met in the semi final, and England were the favourite to win the match there also.

 

[latecut]

Look at the bright side. Pakistan have been spared the sight of seeing Sarfaraz as the PM in future.

 

[ravisurya]

Well now for similarities between 1992 and 2023. Where have all the "mark my words" posters gone?

 

[Snatch]

Haha, I said several times during this thread, there were not similarities when it came to the most important thing, the personnel.

This 2019 team do not have an Imran, a Wasim, a Miandad, or an Inzi.

One positive about Pakistan exiting is we don't have to read this nonsense about 1992 for another 4 years.

 

[Snatch]

Don't worry, those fair weather fans will be back the next time Pakistan win a meaningless ODI game to tell us they're the best in the world again and will win the next WC.

 

[watson367]

92 was a fluke. Other teams were a lot better than us in that World Cup. Rain and results of other teams helped us

But Pakistan are only ever "unlucky" remember, never "lucky".

Anyway, thankfully it's the last we'll be hearing of "92" for another 4 years.

 

[Technics 1210]

A great fun thread, ruined by people who take life too seriously.

 

[Technics 1210]

.

Conversely, Pakistan are the only ever *lucky* team, and never *unlucky* according to the likes of you.

No, they're neither. They're just another cricket team, they're not victims, they're not a result of England/NZ conspiracies. They're just one of many teams (outside Aust, Ind & Eng) who weren't consistently good enough to deserve to make the semis. Nothing more, nothing less. Nothing else to see here.

 

[Kaptan]

One more similarity.
Pakistan did not lose semi-final and final in 1992.
They will not lose semi final and final this time.
See ?

If Pak win they will have won the same number of matches as NZ, and same loses, yet NZ deserve to go through. So save the consistency line once the match is over. And yes, you have described Pakistan as being lucky at times.

Or another way, the 9th match!

I don't think NZ deserved it. They were lucky, because like Pakistan they've been horribly inconsistent this WC.

As I've now said a few times, aside from Aus, Eng and Ind, I think whoever made the 4th spot would have been considered lucky, whether it was NZ, Pakistan, SL or Bangladesh, and NONE of these sides could really be considered UNLUCKY for not making it. None have been consistent enough.

I don't know why that's so hard to comprehend.

 

[Snatch]

I was being blatantly facetious in response to the 'we're so unlucky' threads and posts.

I don't know why that's so hard to comprehend.

So the top 3 teams have 6 wins minimum (England at 3rd spot having played 9 games), so in your mind being consistent is to win 66.66% of the matches in this WC. Got it.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Looks like the similarities didn't help team Pakistan in the end. Not to worry we still have four years to figure out similarities between '92 and '23 World Cups my brothers.

Haha exactly, and if that doesn't fit there's always 2027

 

[Mamoon]

4 years of peace before the nonsense comparisons start again.

 

[Usergame]

Pakistan still did it in 92 .. corneres tiger .. meeeooowww.. maybe some team forfeit.. if they dont they cheating.. in sha ella

 

[JellyBro]

Time to move on to the 21st century folks. Leave 1992 alone

 

[Mp812]

Well in 1992 there were 4 teams. One of them an asian team. Now in 2019 same thing, only one Asian team.

Just like 1992 hopefully the Asian team wins the cup in 2019 out of 4 semi finalists

That's the only thing that can now happen just as in 1992. ALL other possibilities eliminated

 

[JellyBro]

New Zealand the new cornered tigers?

1. Snuck into the semis because of the run rate.
2. Bruised from previous losses
3. Going up against the number 1 team
4. Every expert saying they will lose to India
5. Indian fans already buying tickets for the final
6. Bat first, put on a mediocre total.
7. Pace battery rips through the top order. Reminded me of the once youngster beauties
8. Celebrate

NZ : the new cornered tigers and WC champions. You heard it here first.

 

[Artaxerxes]

On helpful conditions NZ bowling is very dangerous.

 

[aloo paratha]

On helpful conditions NZ bowling is very dangerous.

Even on non helpful pitches, if you had to back a team to strike in the first 10 overs it would be NZ every time. I'm pretty sure this is statistically proven as well.

 

[emranabbas]

England are in the final
