Same with cricket. As much as I would like NZ to roll India, it is just not going to happen. Bumrah, Suraj, Shami and Jadeja are the best bowling attack in world cricket and it will be very hard for NZ to put up or match any reasonable total. End of story. As for Aus vs SA, well throw a coin because Aus seem to have several batting wild cards as we have seen in the last few games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 If they bring their A game, Black Caps can pull this off. India will be a tad complacent and have faced little pressure in the run-up. Any complacency is likely to be amplified if they cruise through against Nederlands tonight, as expected. They will feel invincible. Remember 2019? 24 for 4 or something weren't they? Only Dhoni's genius got them close in the chase and Guptill ran him out when they were looking likely. So it can be done. Looking forward to a HUGE game.

Pakistan were 200/1 after 25.3 overs, well ahead of the Black Caps at that stage, and with 9 wickets in hand. You can usually double the score at 30 overs if there are plenty of wickets in hand, so potentially Pakistan would have reached 400 with 5 overs to spare. The weather was not the problem, it was the Black Caps poor bowling now now Hesi-meister ...you forget that when one batsman dominates there's often very little of substance offered by the rest. Once that centurion Paki was gone, even if he's got a double ton, the rest of them had to find another 200 between them. We'll never know, of course.

Bit of both , I've always got ones that i'm fond of so can run with head or heart happily enough. and get a run for the money most of the time either way. Been taking the Alligator and Brightside a bit lately (from the heart and history) and they were both rolled narrowly sadly in the Cox . and rather strangely again yesterday by a 'Jenni '. lol. You're a pretty good judge and possibly from what you've seen so far India are the logical favourite with head thinking, but the Black Caps have made the Final the past 2 tournaments , and the 'heart' surely wants to get them over the line this time.?? com'on mate . get a tenner on em. that'll give em a boost and a nice dinner for you too. You accurately picked the Soooth Afriikaans to pluck the rugby by one point . But they probably wouldn't of, if it wasn't for the dreaded 'send-off' of the AB captain. fire up the heart mate . you're running cold blooded ? 😂 Edited November 11, 2023 by Lightning Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Here is what will happen on Wed If India bat first, they will put up a good 300 plus score, game over, as NZ cannot score that many runs against the Indian bowling, mid 200 at best If NZ bat first, they won't get past mid to high 200, which India will score easily. Either way, Kohli man of the match NZ have some good batters, capable of getting 80 or 90 runs maybe even a ton at maybe run a ball, but they don't have a Maxwell, Marsh, Head or Warner who can go ballistic and knock up a big ton at 130 plus strike rate. India will be a lot more worried about the thought of facing the SA batting or a resurgent Aus batting line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Great individual efforts by Mitchell and Williamson, they were even on track at the 30 over mark. But you just can't win against an Indian team that has no weaknesses, when your bowlers don't perform and 4 of your batsmen don't contribute.

Maximus Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Yep, noble effort but disappointing contributions from Boult, Southee, Ferguson with the ball and in particular, Conway and Latham (again) with the bat. Max wasn't at all concerned about India's mammoth total on that batting surface - and Mitchell, Williamson proved it was a doable task to score just one more run...but when the platform had been laid at the 30 over mark the wheels fell off. Congrats to India - deserved finalists and likely winners (but not nencessarily). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

India so close to 400 runs was a big chase . How bloody small are those grounds ? they seem to just clip some gently and they went flying into the crowd. someone there probably died with a ball between the eyes they were packed in that tight. The kiwis got well past the 300 but just that lack of 30 runs or so from Latham I think was the telling blow to the chase. I'm nervous already with the Aus chase coming up soon against the Protea's. How do they talk there in South Africa ? something like " o Moy goud.... doz fooken oostrayliahns ... hut the fooken Ball so fooken far , moy tem wuz cumpletly rrrrooted futchin ut all de toim .

Hesi Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 You are starting to sound like a lot of the scribes in NZ, if this happened, if that happened, if only Kohli did not get an inside edge, blah blah blah You also forgot to mention Shami, who along with Bumrah is the best ODI bowler in the world. May just have had something to do with the Black Caps collapsing. NZ bowling was pathetic and the Indian batting just treated it with contempt, as their scores showed Good luck tonight against SA. I couldn't honestly pick which way it will go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If SA had put Aus into bat then maybe a different result. A continuation of the unusual situation, where another century scored in a low scoring match. Well done anyway, enjoy, Aus have zero chance of beating India, but at least they have enough wildcards to make it interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggie Greens are quite good in Finals (unlike South Africa) the Protea's having won 15 of the last 18 clashes before this Semi-Final as well against Oz. so they should of been chock full of confidence. History of choking them though. INDIA unlikely to Choke like that..... but 'Zero chance' is Not quite right for the Baggie Green chances. India $1.40 v Australia $2.80 is the actual odds. Get your $100 on India then matey if 'zero chance opponent' . Might be easy 40 bucks of drinks shout on you ? 😉🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Blue Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Well that was quite a thrill . the catch by Travis Head to remove the Indian Captain , with THE BIG SHOW bowling it . Fantastic. Maxwell doing so well bowling and batting this tournament. My 60th Birthday yesterday and what a celebration tournament it's been in the lead up to the big day . Loved the Baggies winning 9 IN a ROW , and pinging off the Poms , (the Black-caps by just 6 runs in a very exciting game in the mountains) , then the Protea's and then a Billion INdians in their national SPort . Well it is the Aussie National sport too, so how Fantastic they delivered and had to read Maxi and co here hate them , no chance from Hesi-meister etc etc but I guess you're spose to not be a fan I spose (being the main opponent) the Poms copped it as we retained the Ashes, and we popped the Indians like a bubble in the World Test Cricket Championship this year too !! wahoo ( a feat Nz had obtained too beating India in the first one as well) How good ! good to see the Aus were 'some chance' Hesi mate, instead of none you predicted. and the 6th OneDayWorld Cup win for the Baggies. that was a VERY QUIET 130,000 people in the stadium there in India . sounded like 130 the last 10 overs. think i'll stay up and crack a b'day bubbly to celebrate now . !! cricket WIN Wahoooooo 😁 !! but 60 (yikes🙄) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Well done Aus, India will be in mourning. The pitch was a shocker though, whoever won the toss and made the call to insert the first team into bat, won the match. Tennis ball pitch, very few boundaries from the might of Indian batting, yet still sideways movement, all of which changed later in the match when a couple of Aussie hacks found batting easier. That's cricket though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
