Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Prior to the 92 World Cup final Ian Botham made remarks that Pakistan is a place where you can send your mother-in-law ! In the final he got out early without getting in double figures and one of the fielders allegedly said " Who's next you're mother-in-law ?" We need such sledging in cricket not the racist one like Australians or the present say friendliness ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 England won the ODI World Cup on a boundaries rule that most didn't knew existed. Today they'll win on Duck's worth for Lewis which no one really knows how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Same mistake as against India at MCG, just go for one 4 and take doubles the score will be 160+ which is defendable here. Threw their wickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not excuse, saying this generally. Some great shots in this tournament that haven't even went for 4. Considering T20s they are too big imo.

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Would've been a great contest between probably the best bowling and batting attack of the tournament if we had put up 160. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Shaheen did his job. Rest him until he's fully fit now. Great fight by our bowling. England are the deserved champions ! best white ball team for some time now. We need a reset in our batting from the 'disassociation' set in by the mediocre and overly long careers of Afridi, Malik, Hafeez etc. Modern cricket is batting oriented ( or has been made ) we have that natural X factor in bowling just need reliable batting to support them.

Lucas 3,827 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Brilliant Stokesy, pure brilliant. He's this generations Flintoff, but with miles more end product and not all about the crack. The lad is ice cold in pressure situations, he held that together well when we were under the cosh there. If anyone says they weren't nervous, it's got to be a lie. We were right under the cosh there and that was far crom comfortable, despite the low score. Feel for Pakistan, they gave it their all with the ball and losing Afridi was critical because the boundaries had completely dried up. This feels like the making of them a bit and they will be a force for the 50 over World Cup in India. Awesome to win on Aussie turf. A weird blip v Ireland purely because of the weather but we've won the big games when they counted, especially New Zealand and India. Just a shame we never got to play the hosts and knock them out ourselves but they'll keep. Undisputed. Go on Jos and the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beelzebub 2,508 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Naseem bowled brilliantly unlucky not to get a wicket. Stokes had no idea how to play his two overs he faced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
