2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Game 46 First Semi Final India v New Zealand 15/11 1900hrs @ Wankhede Stadium

[ep2018]

Not too worried about our semi potentially rained out as we stand no chance against India.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Game was over at the toss

You actually thought NZ were a chance even if they won the toss?

 

[Moonwatcher]

And a Rugby WC final
And choked in them all

Yes, but it means they didn't choke the semi

 

[010203]

New Zealand need a miracle and this match is only 6 overs old.

 

[MJG14]

Dinesh Karthik spewing out pure shit on comms.

 

[Santana]

Rohit

That's a bad man right now

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If our semi gets rained out can we claim the moral WC at least lol

 

[Bedi]

lot of batting talent in that side so you'd think they'd be half a chance of scoring a total they could defend

 

[Moonwatcher]

India have started similar to how Australia started. They pulled us back and almost won with the bat.

 

[RAPPA]

They need to bring on old mate Chris Harris for some slow-medium pace.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Not sure Santner and his straight breakers are going to trouble this lot

Bring Phillips on

No, the game is obviously over after 6 overs /s

 

[JimmyBC]

NZ going for the Pat Cummins plan of half trackers to Rohit

It’s a plan I’ll give them that

It's a shit one

 

[juss]

New Zealand need a miracle and this match is only 6 overs old.

Need a wicket to slow things down is an understatement.

You seen this India side bowl? SA have a better batting side and they barely made 100

 

[Gavin Excell]

Not sure Santner and his straight breakers are going to trouble this lot

Bring Phillips on

Satner is a dud

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Satner is a dud

Still have no idea how he gets so many wickets

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Understand it’s been this way for many years but I still scratch my head with the fact a ball half a foot down leg side is a wide and deemed to be unplayable for the batsman.

It was free runs when I played in the 80’s and 90’s a ball down leg side.

Why is it unplayable now and a wide?

 

[Santana]

That's a shot. If Gill gets going too....

 

[LukeParkerno1]

We got off to a worse start bowling against Australia and still nearly won that game, this isn't over yet but we need to get rid of Rohit ASAP.

Small difference

India don’t have our ridiculously horrid middle order

If they keep Bumrah on the park to accompany Shami and Siraj they'd be #1 in tests too.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

That's a shot. If Gill gets going too....

At least if these two stay in Virat can’t get a ton

 

[NSWCROW]

Gerard Whateley summed up this World Cup on SEN this morning when talking about the pitch: “It’s felt like a tournament in India for India and for India to win."

Stopped reading at 'Gerard Whateley' tbh

How about just wait for the match to be played before the cryfest?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If they keep Bumrah on the park to accompany Shami and Siraj they'd be #1 in tests too.

Pretty sure they already are on the rankings or did keep it not losing the ranking by not losing the Ashes.

Their best All rounder in Hardik Pandya is injured too

 

[Santana]

At least if these two stay in Virat can’t get a ton

Your consistent hatred of Kohli is kind of impressive I am not going to lie
