It's a pity for Ireland that Manuka is such a road. All minnow vs non-minnow matches should be played on minefields imo

Ratios and Tendency posted:Also lol that the Jimmy Anderson is tired thing has been brought out yet again after he shits the bed away from home. He's the Mahela Jayawardene of bowling. He didn't play in the 7-match series against Sri Lanka and neither did Broad IIRC. They both look shot though.

Burn Down Canberra posted:The two white ball experiment is turning into a bit of a failure IMO. Yeah the white ball is a piece of poo poo in general but unless the bowlers can get the ball to swing they are going to be absolutely carted because the batsman is now hitting a much harder ball late in the game. There is less in it for spin bowlers too. The people want to see massive sixes though. God forbid a batsman's strike rate drop below 80 in an ODI. Even fours don't get cheered as much as they did anymore lol. Just get rid of fielding restrictions, creep the boundaries a bit further back and get rid of the second new ball and ODI cricket will get competitive again.

I wouldn't be surprised if more teams put nurdlers in their top order and their very best batsman lower down the order from now on. Maybe England is on to something with Bell opening...

Byolante posted:All of this would be true if Aus v NZ didn't happen a week ago. Its poo poo bowling thats the problem, notbatting. Also the NZ pitch was a belter which provided a nice bit of swing for the bowlers. Games like that are going to become rarer though as the demands of TV revenue and the general public's bias towards dominating batting over dominating bowling performances entrenches itself. Batsmanship has evolved and become leagues better than just ten years ago, while bowling has become much harder in part because of ICC rules.

Broad has been poo poo with the bat for ages now so it's fitting that he will help England squeak out a win over the mighty Bangers

Even if England find a couple of exciting aggressive batsman in the near future they still have the problem of not having any strike bowlers.

Byolante posted:Morgan was an exciting batsman then he got englanded and now he goes for a duck every game. I reckon the burden of captaincy got to him. If he had the whole Sri Lanka tour as captain he might've had a better WC, but they stuck with Cook for too long. As much as we make fun of it, maybe the England players actually do just need to play their natural game. Make Root captain, free Morgan and Buttler and Ali to play much more aggressively, find a fast bowler or two who can actually bowl fast and England will be at least as good as Pakistan.

Byolante posted:His average has dropped by 10 every year since 2010. English Syndrome isn't caused by being the captain. I just had a glance at his ODI innings and there hasn't really been any period where he has been consistently good. Oh well.

Group B was a lot weaker than Group A and India haven't really been tested so far. I can see them collapsing if their top-order + Dhoni fails.

Shmoses posted:They have huge issues with their bowling depth and any decent team would be confident chasing whatever they make or setting a huge target against them imo. For all the talk about AB's brilliance its worth remembering that his two crazy innings were against inept WI bowling.

Burn Down Canberra posted:At the end of the day like when Morkel bounced Clarke to pieces while Clarke got a century you need to take wickets. Yeah. Anyway my prediction for the semi is if Australia bat first, they win. If Australia bat second and have a total about as big as the one they chased tonight to get, they get spun out by Ashwin and Jadeja for about 180.

Smorgasbord posted:Eh not really, they'd just have lost to a good team. Out of the four remaining teams they seem to have their poo poo together the most. India have had the easiest road to the semis and haven't really been tested, Australia's batting is still shaky and SA are the dark horses.

There isn't really much separating these four teams, but I still reckon India might crack under the pressure. They've had it too easy all tournament.

Knuc U Kinte posted:India have had the easiest road all tourney? There's 2 pools. The only team capable of beating India on paper during the group stage crumbled instead. Then they had Bangladesh in the QF. They've played well, but nobody in Pool B bar SA was really capable of putting them under pressure for sustained periods.
