ICC Cricket World Cup

[hayvis]

It went from India 98% to 5% and everything in between, and has now jumped back to 35%. Completely confused.

 

[goblue96]

Underestimated the wicket. Seems to be far nastier than anyone thought. My theory now is that Ingeralnd are going to beat Australia and lose in the final.

Very thing to do.

How I used to feel about baseball. Underneath the window dressing they're the same game. The biggest difference is that in baseball the pitcher has a much bigger advantage against the batter (the strike zone is bigger, and the bat is a whole lot smaller).

 

[hayvis]

Very thing to do.

Australia always make the most of a lot of talent, New Zealand always make the most of not a lot of talent. England and India find a way to lose with a lot of talent.

Was watching this while waiting on my kabob the other day. Baffles the shit out of me.

 

[hayvis]

Well, it's all over then. Australia win the toss and bat first. No chance.

 

[hayvis]

OMG. Am I dreaming?

 

[Snorky's Shame]

I don’t know if Australia even make 200 at this point.

 

[hayvis]

Under 200 would give Ingerland the psychological edge. Still don't put it past us to shit the bed with the bat, due to the pressure.

 

[hayvis]

Fucking hell. So Woakes can't even bowl out his 10 overs. Wtf are we doing?

Pushing Australia’s shit in.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Australia saved the innings between the 7th and 8th wicket. Target still very reachable for England though.

 

[hayvis]

If we lose this by 20 runs it's on Morgan. I wonder if he can count.

 

[hayvis]

Classic Ingerland. Our sportsmen always play so much better when we're under pressure. SEE THOSE JASON ROY 6s.

 

[goblue96]

Only thing that can screw this up for Ingerland is rain.

That's ok. We don't have rain in Ingerland.

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Looks like we will have a first time winner between England and New Zealand on Sunday.

Since 1996 the winner has either been Australia or the team that knocked them out.

Bed shitting incoming!

Fifth set tie-breaker at Wimbledon and the Super Over in the CWC Final. It’s all happening in London.

 

[Yankee151]

British GP was earlier today too

 

[hayvis]

ONLY ENGLAND WOULD WIN THAT WAY. AMIRITE?

 

[hayvis]

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Congrats England. New Zealand, at least you got the Rugby World Cup in September.

What a game!

 

[Snorky's Shame]

Stokes’ second six in the 50th over will be talked about forever. Strangely enough, it’s probably not the worst thing to happen to New Zealand in an ODI. Just look up “Underarm Incident”.

Also losing the CWC Final consecutively to the host country can’t be fun either.

 

[DeadMan]

So wait, they tied after an extra over and instead of doing another over, they ended the game on a tiebreak? What the fuck sport is this? Don’t the games take all day in the first place? Can’t have 15 more minutes or whatever! Lawd.

An American angered by a tie/tiebreak.... What a surprise.

Someone explain what happen.

So after the exact same amount of deliveries (300) the sides scored exactly the same amount of runs, which as you can imagine is pretty rare, let alone for a final. So they played another 6 deliveries each and both scored 15. England were declared winners because they scored more big hits than New Zealand (4s and 6s). New Zealand knew they had to get 16 to win though so it was a deliberate win.
