ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 - Group B

[akkaps]

Surprising that the quarter final hasn't sold out yet.

India v Bangladesh?

The tickets have become to expensive for Indians to go. The cheapest tickets are $160.

Adelaide Oval game with Australia.

 

[Crawb]

Ireland clearly already planning their "Mad Tuesday" aka St. Patricks Day.

 

[The Speaker]

Just to underscore how baffling Craig Young's non-selection is:

In the Scotland vs Ireland series last year, Josh Davey took four wickets @ 27. Young took nine @ 15, more than anyone else.

In the tri-series in January, Davey took six wickets @ 12.3. Young took seven @ 12.8.

Davey took fifteen wickets at the World Cup from six games, @ 20. Young took none from none. Why did he not play?

 

[GROTTO]

Some fan facts that a mate reminded me about, from this position onwards any rained out match the highest seed team will proceed, except for the case of a rained out Final. Both teams are declared joint winners.

Well given all finals have reserve days, it's unlikely. And if both days are washed out, that's the fairest way to go about it.

Adelaide and its plethora of Irish pubs is as good a place to celebrate as any.

 

[The Speaker]

For anyone wondering how Young bowls:

 

[Greasyrhys]

Ireland were always going to be at least 30 runs short. Hope we can destroy the Pakis on Friday.

Are you sure about this?

21.10.3 Semi Final

If a semi-final is tied, abandoned or if the match is a no result, then the team that finished in the higher position in the Pool stage shall proceed to the final. 21.10.4 Final

All finals have reserve days.

 

[eddiesmith]

Are you sure about this?

Are there any reserve days?

There are no reserve days scheduled throughout the pool stage. Reserve days however are scheduled for the following day of the Match for the quarter-final, semi-final and final.

Obviously his non-selection isn't based on form.

 

[The Speaker]

Obviously his non-selection isn't based on form.

The decision to stack the team with batting depth hasn't really worked out. I would take Rankin, Murtagh, Young and Dockrell, and lose a bit of lower order batting, over what they've done with the team.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

So for all those who prematurely complained about an Ireland QF as it would be an easy win and wanted to go see the Aussies get stiff opposition.

Happy now!!... Not that your priorities were well placed

we better not lose now

 

[Kram]

Just finish the game ffs.

Bowl 5 wides

Bowl 5 wides

hahaha that would be so funny to see some smartarse actually do that.

 

[Kram]

Just block out the rest of the balls to keep the West Indies out lol.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

what the actual **** were they doing? srsly

finally...

 

[DT_fanatic]

hahaha that would be so funny to see some smartarse actually do that.

It's happened before

Herschelle Gibbs was denied a record fourth consecutive one-day international century by a wide as South Africa beat Bangladesh by 10 wickets and wrapped up the series at Benoni.

The South African opener looked certain to reach the milestone until Alak Kapali bowled down the leg side and the ball scuttled to the boundary for four extras.

Pakistan have form coming into the knockouts.

Wait he understands English but can't speak it

Wait he understands English but can't speak it

It common, you can understand the language, but it just gets confusing when you try to speak it. It's like me and Hindi; I can understand it, but when I try to speak, it comes out with a mix of English, Gujarati (state based mother tounge) and Hindi.
