International Cricket world cup 2019 discussion thread- Page 70

A solid start for England.

94 runs and no wickets taken 👎🏼 Aussies are done. They look tired and as if they don’t even want to be on the pitch. NZ and England in the final. 😔

Poor Roy

What a horrible decision by Dharma sena

What an amazing win England 🥳

Bad luck to Aussies fans .

England would be mighty pleased that India aren't playing the finals with them . Otherwise by far India is the only team who can beat England at any stage

Congrats NZ and England Supporters 🥳

Hope NZ wins d cup 😳

Great game England

I hope they win the final too

England are the favorites but I hope NZ wins the cup. Let's see. Expecting a great final and not a one sided match.

I'm supporting NZ now 🥳

So finally after 45 years of World Cup cricket, we'll have a brand new "World Champion".

i just wish we had someone like yuvraaj in the team. we would have got through. The asking rate got too much in the end and with no batsmen coming in jadeja and dhoni couldnt take any risk to keep it down. i still believe dhoni should have come at 4 0r 5. today he came at 7. he should have come before hardik for sure. Dada has been saying since aus series that dhoni needed to bat at up the order.

For future india needs to strengthen middle order. for the past 3 yrs or so virat scoring so many hundreds and the openers have not really tested the middle order. But in situations like these where the top 3 fail we will fall short

i also think Nz scored some 20 odd extra. They were at a stage where getting to 220 was difficult.

Look at how Eng team batted 2nd against Aus. They reached their TARGET 226/2 in 32.1 overs..

They played initial 20 overs like a T20 match.. By 19 overs into the match Eng was 150+ runs..

This is WHAT Indian Cricket team has to LEARN!!! That is Do not play too many dot balls in the beginning.. as middle is unable to do anything in the last 10 overs with very high run rate..
