Frustrated Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 It was ICC's decision to hold the WC from Oct onwards. Bcci has got nothing to do with it. https://www.indiatoday.in/sports/cricket/story/2023-world-cup-india-delayed-october-november-icc-qualification-fair-1702626-2020-07-20 Link to comment
Frustrated Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Due to the covid pandemic, the qualification process got delayed. Hence WC has been postponed by ICC to Oct-Nov. Instead of Mar-April. Decision was taken in 2020. Anyone criticizing bcci unnecessarily should be aware of this. cowboysfan 1 Link to comment

U will find many indian fans heavily criticising bcci's scheduling. Without being aware of the reality. LOL. Gollum 1 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Kusal Perera might make beef Biryani of Poyzzz himself in Hyderabad on 10th. Looking forward to that game. Norman, Gollum and Frustrated 3 Link to comment

Looking forward to that game. Lankans are 0-6 against poyzz in 50 over WCs, strange stat. Would have pummeled them in 1996 Eden had they met, in that period Lankans used to own poyzz in both ODIs and tests. Lone Wolf 1 Link to comment

Both capable of bowling 90mph. They should beat Pak on paper based on pure talent. Even Kusal Mendis is looking dangerous. Hasranga is a massive miss otherwise they might have had a shot in Semis too. Gollum 1 Link to comment

They don't need 3rd spinner when they already have DDS. If all were fit and available for various reasons, the better replacements would probably be Binura, Chameera, Hasaranga and Gunathilaka.

Only once in 2011 when Lanka lost a close game. Rest were all pre 96. Gollum 1 Link to comment

Neither has pace to HTD nor much inswing. Simple Tall lanky bowler. He ain't no Prasidh or Hazelwood or Starc. Kumara is borderline express & Madushanka can swing it at high pace as a left armer. Theekshana is okay on these pitches like Hyderabad. Might only struggle in Kolkata or Wankhede Motera. Haven't seen much of Hemantha... But if he can bowl both googly & leg spin, he won't be that bad. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Kiwis doing time pass.. Not bowling Boult Milne Ferguson. Milne is back to bowling 90mph in Bangladesh. Threatening trio. Link to comment
R!TTER Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Phillips is clearly chucking, did no one see the resemblance with Chuckmal or Chuckeez actions? Link to comment
Norman Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Looks like NZ are just trying to set themselves a big total to chase under lights and at the same time not working their fast bowlers too much. Infact Boult, Lockie and Southee haven't even bowled lol. Brilliant strategy regardless of the result.. Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Rachin might be another Jadeja in LOIs for Kiwis... I think they better try him in Tests than ODI/T20. Kid is bits & pieces in this format. Link to comment

We hv reached the tail end of the monsoon. 1 or maybe 2 warmup games might get washed out though. thats not right.it rains a lot it in India in october.a lot of our agriculture depend on it.

Santner coming back from injury. Sodhi with his reworked run up etc. Other guys all bowled in England Link to comment
