Shebeen Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 let's attempt glass quarter empty positivity we need to win the next 6 games, or if things fall into place 5. how that would work is if ENG +IND win all their games going forward.then aus/nz/pak have a slip up along the way, just like we did against bangladesh.Aus currently 79/5 against WIndies. It's not looking likely with current vibe, but we are good enough to beat these teams.Starts with next game on monday vs WIndies. gemmerbal 1
gemmerbal Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Like i predicted, its probably going to come down to us vs the Woodworkers in Manchester. And then its probably 1999 all over again. ???? let's attempt glass quarter empty positivity we need to win the next 6 games, or if things fall into place 5. how that would work is if ENG +IND win all their games going forward.then aus/nz/pak have a slip up along the way, just like we did against bangladesh.Aus currently 79/5 against WIndies.

leeubok Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Faf can bitch and moan as much as he wants about his teams performance (or lack thereof), but Steve Smith is showing exactly what Faf himself should've been doing the last 3 games. Aus were in deep poo with 4-5 wickets down for not many runs, but Smith has dug in and is holding their innings together. They're now 223/6 after 42 overs and will most probably post a respectable and defend-able score. You just need 1 oke to stay there and not throw his wicket away!

Still, held the Aus innings together when they were close to collapsing Gen and gemmerbal 2
Shebeen Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 Wrong thread sorrydo we need two? Windies/Aus game is nicely poised. Windies don't have a great lower order so need to get some partnerships through middle overs.
Stretch Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 do we need two? .All content should really happen here... Makes more sense...no? Lexx, babse and gemmerbal 3
babse Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 I too rate the Windies to go the distance..they really have A good decent bowling attack.Their batsmen all have that X-factor to change the game is within a few overs. Really enjoy watching them play... gemmerbal and Eddy Gordo 2
Eddy Gordo Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 O, what an article, some of you might not think so Maybe you have forgotten about your answers to a possible * -turn. Let me remind you:“There is no comeback. I’m very happy with where I’m in my life. I don’t want to confuse anybody, especially now the (Proteas) team, it will be very selfish and arrogant of me to throw statements around that I’m keen to play a World Cup.”“Arrogant” was the expression used.

But you can only wonder how he managed to misread the team dynamic so spectacularly that he thought the door was still open for him. In the end, his numbers will ensure he remains a cricketing great. But his legacy will be defined not only by his excellence but also his indecisiveness. It's worth remembering that both of those were a long time in the making. http://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/26917011/ab-de-villiers-legacy-defined-not-only-excellence-indec Eddy Gordo, Stretch and BigDL 3
Shebeen Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 It's really awesome that the statisticians are getting into cricket reporting https://a3.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fi%2Fcricket%2Fcricinfo%2F1187649_900x900.png We saw the amazing catch that Cottrell took on the boundary to remove Smith. However, a bigger impact was probably this one in the 26th over110/5 with smith on 23. I don't Coulter-Nile would have played his innings if this was taken. Holder to Smith, FOUR runs, dropped! Cottrell eaten by the turf trolls on the boundary! Holder bounces Smith and he can't control this hook as it sails toward long leg. Cottrell circles around running 20 yards left but takes a very poor angle and is on the verge of over-running the chance. He tries to change direction late and loses his footing with a clumsy slip and slide. The ball lands a foot in front of him grasping forward in vain. Should've gotten two hands to it at the very least. Smith survives!
Vetplant Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 11th Match, Pak vs SL, seems to be rained out as things stand. Rain was always going to play a part in England. Pak and SL are both in with a chance of making the playoffs, but they need everything to go right to be able to sit in the Top 4. A NR here might not be what either one would want out of this game.
