putrevus Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Some people were whining why our openers don't go full blast.It is better to be 40 for no loss than 80 for 4.I really hope they play conservatively and build a partnership even if it is slow. Stan AF 1 Link to comment
Franco Vazquez Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Would be funny if Afghanistan score the second highest first inning score against the best bowling attack so far Link to comment
zen Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 NZ 50 in 6-7 overs. Asian teams have played poor cricket so far Link to comment
zen Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Superb batting by NZ! Giving something to cheer for to the crowds Link to comment
Stan AF Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 It's not the tournament that is boring but the real standard of the teams are being exposed at the big stage. 1 hour ago, The Hound said: What a boring and one sided world Cup this is turning out to be. IPL >>>>> Link to comment
zen Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 77 after 10 .... motoring on .... appears to be picking up from where they left off in 2015 Link to comment
Forward Defence Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 SL do not have the pace to exploit the surface. Plus the freshness of the pitch may have died down by now Link to comment
putrevus Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Some guy was laughing when I said NZ had a very solid team.They also have all bases covered solid openers very good middle order good bowling options.They may not be ATG side but they are very good side. JourneyMan 1 Link to comment

zen Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Brilliant use of crease and feet by NZ batsmen to negate the attacking length .... but SL do not have the pace to peg the batsmen to crease Link to comment
putrevus Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 How the heck did SL win 2-0 in SA in tests. Link to comment

Then cricket will die.50 overs is always better game to watch than t20s, you still get to see quality of batsmanship.You need to build innings. You need better pitches which is more important than the belters which England have been producing recently. Edited June 1, 2019 by putrevus Stan AF 1 Link to comment

IPL is a tamasha league played by aging cricketers and domestic hacks on flat tracks. T20 is a limited overs format of the game which could indeed fully replace 50 over ODIs. Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Very professional performance from NZ. Chased down in 17 overs with no wickets lost. Yesterday, WI chased down in 14 overs but lost 3 wickets. A bit of casual attitude. Stan AF 1 Link to comment

I expect WI would've chased it down similarly maybe even lesser against this SL attack. Link to comment
bahubali Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This wc is going to be boring . All matches so far are one sided. Link to comment

ODIs in general have lost their charm in the last few years, too lengthy with full phases except for first & last ten overs. Link to comment
Franco Vazquez Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I dont get the randi rona of SL at all. It was a bowling wicket but how they failed to take even single wicket? Link to comment
