"The Gentleman's game"- Cricket - World Cup 2019 Special

Australia favourites for the WC.
NZ and SA also stand a chance imo.

Australia's team is unreal tbh. Best team also. Great balance right throughout.

No doubt in my mind SA will return home as world champions. We have the best batsmen and best bowler's. Ez game ez life.

Not if Warner, Finchy, Smith and Maxwell has something to say about that.
Oh, and best bowler's, what? What about Marshy, Starcy, Hazles and main man Johnson

Hope we get SA in the finals and watch them choke again right infront of our eyes

Lol Mitchell Johnson's probably the most overrated bowler in the last decade, he like all seamers play in the shadow of Dale Phalaborwa Express Steyn.

The Aussie's got no class, and are poor losers. All their recent success has come from physically intimidating their opposition. They are more akin to wrestlers than cricket players.
#truthhurts

Physically intimidating?
How?
A bit of chin music???? We haven't even done that much lately, last time we really did that was the Ashes back in late 2013, early 2014. Or sledging? (verbal "abuse") lol we've done that forever, not our fault if you guys are pussies and get take it. And it's not even anything physical per se.

Dale Steyn is a great, great fast bowler, and I would say he has been more consistent than Mitch over their careers, but take both on their day - then Mitch scares the shit out of top class batsmen around the world like no other bowler.

Test cricketer and ICC cricketer of the year for 2014, nuff said.

Can't wait till the SA people weep when they come up short again. Bunch of arrogant sods they are

Stayed up till 5am watching India vs Pakistan. Never watched a cricket game and barley know that rule. I have watched a highlight of India Cricket league (IPL).

So kinda learned the rules while watching highlight of the 2014 Final Kolkata Knight Riders vs Kings XI Punjab. Seeing bollywood actress Preity Zinta tearing up while her team lost

Didn't realize the game went on for 6+ hours just to watch Pakistan choke

Rooting for NZ, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, and Bangladesh

lol
Don't get all worked up bud, we all know SA is due 1 wc. You can't fight fate.

When we win it against the Aussies in the final

lol, interesting debate.

btw nasir. Good job man. Appreciate the effort. Yea the match didnt turn out to be exactly a good one. Pakistan like always succumbed to the occasion and came short of ideas. Seeing the recent poor form of India I at least expected this to be a close affair with finally Pak breaking the wc jinx against us but

Ireland btw Its high time they get a test status and recognition for this splendid job which they now dishout in ever world cup without fail. What a team.

As far as Aus vs SA goes, I think Australia is better . Collectively Their batting is unbelievable, really and they are in supreme form at the moment. Where as South Africans, they have the best batsman as well the best bowler individually of the world cup, namely di Villiers and steyn, but as a group, they most of the time falter during crunch situations. Hope they avert the trend this time though.

I am with New Zealand btw(once India get knocked out in the 2nd round that is, ) , they deserve to go all the way this time. Unlike in the past they Have the x-factor this time around with the likes of Corey Anderson. So rooting for them.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CRICKET!! *runs away crying*

New Zealand Just destroyed England. Serious Human Right Violation from Southee and McCullum.

^ Lol that was brutal.

Watching this match between West Indies and Pakistan. It's 100% fixed on Pakistan's end judging by the amount of hilarious catch drops and awful(feels deliberate) fielding/bowling.

ICC needs to investigate


Australia are the clear favourites for this WC. Complete team and at home.

NZ stand a chance alone by having McCullum, Southee and Corey Anderson in their team.

SA got it massively wrong today with their team combination. Philander getting injured didnt help either. Good thing for them this came now and not in the next round or at the business end. Still time to bounce back and they will.

This is why SA won't win any major tournament.

England Vs Scotland tonight.

Noticed Australia's games are spaced out in a week. The first 3 at least. With the Bangledash one getting abandoned due to rain/cyclone, the time between their last match and next one is 2 weeks.
Dat rest.
Don't think it is a good thing though. Need that games and no vacation time

England finally going to win a match

Good thing we lost, never won a wc when we beat India. History is with us.

The great Australia could not beat us This is our year

Goddamn Ninja

holy shit

Surely that broke the WC record?

South Africa charred the Windies.
De Villiers!!!! That guy is out of this world, really. The Best player playing the game now!
