2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier

[vvvslaxman]

Suck on it PKXI.   Raza turned up for his country. Raza was at the top of MVP list in 2022 world T20 including qualifiers.

Windies fans are losing it :)

I didn't watch the match but from Cricinfo's commentary, it seems there were drama from wi?

SL is in some demolition mood throughout this qualifier. 

[vvvslaxman]

SL doesn't allow banana slips. They dismantle these minnows like they should be.

[Zero_Unit]

Hasaranga got three 5fers in 3 matches. Doesn't matter who the opposition is, this is no easy feet. 

[LordPrabhzy]

Zimbabwe posting 400+ in a ODI game

 

SL although is a big minnow basher, its still an inferior team against the Full members.. shows the gulf in quality in cricket with international teams- unsustainable for the growth of this sport

[vvvslaxman]

Epic phainty for USA lol

He was in same form before that Aus match when Stoinis smashed him into oblivion.

Will be great for Zimbabwean fans if they qualify for the WC, but wouldn't it make the WC  more poor without the West Indies ? 

 

WI could have taken down a few teams like Pakistan for example on a flat track and given a proper fight against most teams but their replacement Zimbabwe would be a complete no contest against the other sides in the WC.

Windies get punished for their lack of professionalism.  They already got kicked out from WT20, 2022 edition.

I'm not surprised about USA team's performance. 

 

USA Cricket has a toxic under current. Having played some league cricket here, I know that a bunch of nobodies act like they're Steve Smith and Pat Cummins. The politics involved in such low talent pool is the worst. 

 

USA will never be a half decent team unless 1. they import overseas players and get them eligible, 2. Somehow magically/miraculously local American talent gets involved in Cricket.

From team selection to players not willing to put the maroon uniform but will put on wtv uniform in t20 leagues, it is what it is. Zim is playing absolute cracker cricket here. If they go through, they fully deserve it

I mean from time to time, even the best of the best gets smashed to oblivion. Even happened to warne and murali at one point in their career too.

[rollingstoned]

Windies looking listless here. Won't be surprised if they lose this. 

In 40 yrs they've become minnow level in odi cricket.

Agree.

 

Id rather have Zimbabwe in the WC.

 

The players don't take T20 commitments for WI seriously let alone ODI format. They are essentially T20 mercenaries plying cricket to make money as opposed to loyalty to their country. West Indies is a functional tag anyway as the team is made up of Islands which are countries in their own right

[vvvslaxman]

Scotland can actually win this match. They are chasing 374 with some spunk. 70 required in 39 balls. Doable with 6 wickets in hand. Alzaar joseph is getting clubbed

[vvvslaxman]

Unlike our Mharatis he smashed  3 fours against Alzaari Joseph in a row to get to his 100

 

[Zero_Unit]

NED is doing a great job today. WI might actually lose this one. 

[rageaddict]

Are WI going to lose to the Dutch here,that will surely end any of their remaining little hopes of qualifying for the WC in the next round.
