Austin 3:!6 Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 What a joke of a world cup this has been thanks to the pitches. 300 is a below par score and 400 is something every team is expecting. The pitches are so bad that even Pakistan is scoring 300+ :cantstop: If this trend continues, RIP ODI cricket. But for the moment, let all just laugh.... :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
G_B_ Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 honestly makes India's bowlers who defended 307 v SA even more impressive. In retrospect 307 was a below par score.
Austin 3:!6 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 This has to be the worst World Cup i have ever seen and I am following cricket from 96.
MechEng Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Even the recent Pakistan vs New Zealand ODI series in Sharjah was far more balanced between bat and ball than this.
bowl_out Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 26 matches so far... 15 of them have had 300+ scores and three have had 400+ scores... Aus has just made the highest score in WC History... How many 300+ and 400+ will we end up with in this WC?
bowl_out Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This has to be the worst World Cup i have ever seen and I am following cricket from 96. 2007?
MechEng Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 NZ pitches are better :two_thumbs_up: Not really, it's the quality of bowling from Boult, Southee and Milne which makes it look better.
Debutant Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Pitches are no doubt bad, but that 1 less fielder in the death overs is also responsible for these borefests
Austin 3:!6 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 2007? LOL...much worse than 2007. Yes India got knocked out early but the pitches were much better and games were competitive. This one is just a joke. I am not even following anymore and only checking the end result in cricinfo. Even the India matches (UAE one) I did not make an effort to wake up early morning to watch it and will do the same for WI game. 2011 WC was one of the best IMO. This is the worst world cup by far....
Austin 3:!6 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 Next time an Aussie utter the word "Indian Roads"...I will give him a mouthful
Forever Indian Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Next time an Aussie utter the word "Indian Roads"...I will give him a mouthful Atleast Indian roads has lot of gaddas, these Aussie pitches are concrete slabs...
Asim Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This World Cup is going to END the beauty of ODIs we used to know...
MechEng Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 This has to be the worst World Cup i have ever seen and I am following cricket from 96. You must have watched Jadeja taking on Waqar Younis in final overs live then. At that time boundaries had so much value, today with big bats the value of sixes is declining.
bowl_out Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I see at least two more 400+ scores coming this WC... SA vs UAE and Aus vs Scotland... assuming SA and Aus bat first in the respective matches... Possibility of another 200 as well
adi B Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Shameless icc preparing horrendous pitches! Most of them provide no grass,bounce.easy pickings for the batsmen
Forever Indian Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I used to remember each sixer in a match in the 90's and early 2K's. Now just can't differentiate between fours and sixers.
adi B Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I see at least two more 400+ scores coming this WC... SA vs UAE and Aus vs Scotland... assuming SA and Aus bat first in the respective matches... Possibility of another 200 as well Nzl vs Bangladesh,nzl vs Afghanistan,nohit vs Zimbabwe,lungans vs Scotland,Windies vs uae :hysterical:.carnage!!
