maniac Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 Surprisingly quiet tournament but the guy has “clutch” written all over him. These are the kind of players who step up in knockouts. He is the man to watch out for. Aussies are expected to raise their game and SA in knockouts are league above us when it comes to looking like a million bucks and then crapping it. we need to pass the Conway test. sandeep and Austin 3:!6 1 1
deathmonger Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 It's going to be a tough match. Rachin, Williamson, Conway and Mitchell are great. Latham, Philipps, Chapman not bad either. Bowling is also good. They were made to look bad against Pak due to rain and injuries. IndianRenegade and maniac 1 1

Pak would have screwed it up eventually: they are better as the game gets shorter
deathmonger Posted November 9, 2023 Posted November 9, 2023 While Pakistan at Eden would be an easier matchup, I'm glad we are playing NZ at Wankhede even if tougher. And the reason is that this will just be a cricket match, decide on skill w/o any of the outside noise. Even if we lose it'll feel bad but we'll get over it. IndianRenegade 1
bowl_out Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 We are likely to meet NZ in the semis (repeat of 2019) and Aus in the finals (repeat of 2003) Will be sweet revenge if we beat both of them and lift the WC nevada 1
Vijy Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 NZ are doing well. their bowling, barring santner, is quite bad, but the batting is strong
Lord Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 Agree, he and Rachin are biggest threats. Kane will score but won't hurt much

That Pak supporter nanee says pak would have been more difficult. Cheeka trolls him for sticking with Pakistan as the favorites
IndiaWC8311 Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 Goes without saying biggest dangers are winning mentality players Conway and Santner Lord 1
the don Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 Darryl Mitchell. Seemed to have the better of Kuldeep. If he can take down Kuldeep than India will be under pressure.
Austin 3:!6 Posted November 10, 2023 Posted November 10, 2023 I think NZ will surprise everyone by playing Kyle Jamieson in semi finals. In Wankhede stadium, he can be deadly with his height and bounce.

He looks like Rajat Bhatia these days Southee is just about adequate because he is a very intelligent cricket brain and he helps the captain out with strategies etc. has 1-2 utilities on the field. He is on his last legs and playing his last World Cup but will go down till the finale and play on just for his experience. He will probably lose in semis too and have a middling performance like take a wicket with the new ball and go at 8 rpo or something and take a great catch. Who knows he might also be runout while batting . Why does this script sound so familiar? @velu :) Edited November 10, 2023 by maniac vvvslaxman and velu 2
Suhaan Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 NZ as a whole are a strong and dangerous side

Gora players from NZ and Australia have English ancestry but never get asked if they have tried to find long lost relatives in their "mother country".
Serpico Posted November 11, 2023 Posted November 11, 2023 Nz definitely has most stable top and middle order after India. Of we're batting first, hope they target atleast 330 (depending on the conditions)
