2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis

[Indymoney]

@JSRAW we need just cricket lovers because they can manage better then these professionals and this can bring some more excitement in game professionals need money and lovers need enjoyment.

The combination of both the lovers and professionalism should be the main goal. If a team has players who love the game, who are sincere to their profession and country, its hard to beat such a team.

Right now its very hard to have team like this because now mostly going for money as we have some examples in recent from West Indies and South Africa.

Thanks bhai appreciate that, lol yeah in fact my majority of the merit came from you. if in the future, you are applying for MS then will vouch for you without any second thought you are glue of our small cricket community with your contribution and everybody can agree on that.

Sorry for your loss in IPL betting, Yes I am aware of that.

IPL or shorter format(20-20) of game analysis demands more time TBH and IPL results are very unpredictable except few games, because game can change with even one ball or over.

Sorry to say but, I am not following Ipl matches much lately due to work so I am not qualified atm and can only provide educated guess just like other users. Having said that will start follow IPL during Last stage.

Yes, I am expecting good competitive world cup in this edition. of course with gambling point of view as well.

Not sure if I will go for MS application, I feel it's a burden honestly.

Nope, merit is a way of encouraging people to post quality content. Merit Source is needef for increasing merit circulation. You should apply and help lower rank to be higher.

BCCI has improved a lot during the last 2-3 years. When the businessman N Srinivasan was the president, then he did a lot of things to harm the popularity of the game. And it resulted in the relations with other cricket boards getting damaged. Things have improved now, under the CoA. The current administrative body cares a lot about the game.

Its your personal choice and I respect that but in case you change your mind in future then you can count on our small cricket community. best of luck for World Cup

And guess you pointed out some inner joke as well in the end, I didn't get it may be its related to IPL gambling?

Let's back to cricket now.

Very hard? I don't think so. There are many players who love the game and earn well in every single team out there.

Why segregate West Indies and SA specifically?

You cannot be a good player if you do not love the game. This is true of any field. If you love your work and game, you can easily excel in it and achieve high levels. For sure, if you are hard worker, you will be selected in the team and money will automatically comes to you. Hope you got my point.

At the end of the day, money is everything, lol.

Here is the WI world cup squad, I think no one shared here-

Jason Holder (c)
Evin Lewis
Darren Bravo
Chris Gayle
Andre Russell
Carlos Brathwaite
Nicholas Pooran
Oshane Thomas
Shai Hope (wk)
Shimron Hetmyer
Fabien Allen
Sheldon Cottrell
Shannon Gabriel
Kemar Roach
Ashley Nurse

Narine isn't in the squad for injury. Bad luck, may be he will the only player who will not be able to play world cup even if having good performance all the time. In 2015, he was even better but had to miss the world cup.

That looks like a very strong and experienced team. I'm not sure about you guys, but I did carefully watch Chris Gayle batting against England recently in ODIs and it seemed like he's literally better than ever these days. Combining the strength of Gayle with Holder, Bravo, Russell, and Braithwaite, it looks like they have a nice chance of actually lifting the trophy!

Agreed, the team is quite balanced with all sides, batsman, bowlers and all rounders. However, WI generally can't perform well continuously. They failed to maintain consistency which is why I don't think they can lift the trophy. Russel is a big asset for them, he is having outstanding performance in IPL, I hope it will reflect in ODI too.

WI team is always strong but their temperament is what makes them lose. They gotto learn to defend when it is required and play consistently. It would be great to see them win the world cup but I don't think it will happen.

[Sithara007]

West Indies has some of the best players in the world, but their team bonding is not very strong. If they bond together as a team, then they will be able to beat the strongest teams out there. But when that doesn't happen, then they can go down even to the minnows, like what happened in 1996 against Kenya. One advantage for them is that the pacers such as Shannon Gabriel, Kemar Roach and Ashley Nurse can prove very efficient in England, as the ground conditions will allow a lot of swing and seam movement.

Honestly, I don't even know who Gabriel and Nurse are. I heard of Roach before, but he seemed like a decent bowler and nothing special. West Indies stand no chance of reaching the quarters in my opinion due to the team bonding element problem that you mentioned.

England world cup squad 2019

Eoin Morgan (captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Tom Curran, Joe Denly, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.

~Edited Out~

Follow up on English team analysis.

Recent news is Alex Hales Withdraw from world cup squad for unknown reason. big blow for English middle order? I don't think so because now I think Jofra Archer can make into World cup squad if he manage to perform against Pakistan next month.

Don't know about you guys but this English Team looks super strong to me.

3 destructive batsmen : Jonny Bairstow , Jos Buttler , Jason Roy

2 Tested dependable batsmen : Joe Root and Captain Eoin Morgan

6 Quality genuine All rounders which is very big positive because this makes their batting line up deep, even no 10 batsman can contribute with the bat.  Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Tom Curran, Joe Denly ( Only weak link IMO)

3 genuine bowlers Liam Plunkett, Mark Wood, Adil Rashid  even their batting average is close to 15 as a tailenders.

And Jofra can join the squad as well.

Everything is looking good for England except the mighty fate for them. I hope the fate do not betray them this time. The team has the potential to win the cup.

[JSRAW]

Haha Thanks bhai!

You were quick to reply lol. was editing hehehe

Yeah atm English team checks all the boxes, at least for me. that's why I consider them as hot favourite team in this world cup. but Cricket is funny game. we have witness in past that how strong team crumbles when times comes and England record is very bad in this regard.

Having said that if in this edition England failed to win the World Cup then they should forget the trophy for next decade as well because its arguably one of the their strongest team in ODI so far.


EDIT :

Hales dropped from all England squads after drugs ban

True.
By the way, while I have doubt about the team England but I will be looking for some personal achievements. I think some players will have fantastic time in the world cup.

For example:
Jonny Bairstow
Jos Buttler
Ben Stokes
Moeen Ali
Adil Rashid

Bairstow and Buttler can be very destructive so careful what you wish for lol

Ben Stokes going with some hard patch right now, below average Ipl season didn't helped him either, but he's damn fine cricketer so finger crossed for him.

Moeen Ali in IPL-20 20 league and Moeen Ali in 50 over match are 2 different player but again he's good all rounder as well and I have seen many batsmen take him very lighty when he bowls(big mistake) but he always gets job done for his team.

Adil is good too, just like every other wristy he can surprise opponent teams.

If you look closely then you will find each player in English Team is match winner. But I personally would like to see some quality batting from Joe Root ( against India and Australia)

@Sithara007 West Indies team have a dangerous squad as all their batsmen, and even their bowlers are known to hit big shots consistently. These players have proven to single handedly change the outcome of a match when they’re in form, hence bonding should not be a issue for them. We all should not underestimate their capabilities to cause upsets, cause all they need is 20 overs to do the damage as most of them are t20 specialists.

Well... that can be a problem. They are T20 specialists and not ODI specialists. In ODI, you need to build you innings and there is a need to bat patiently (especially if the conditions are supportive to bowling). But I don't know whether these players have that capability or not.

They are very good bowlers and all of them are performing well right now. Shannon Gabriel had a very good series against England this year. And Kemar Roach picked up 18 wickets in 3 tests during the same series (He was the one who bowled out ENG for just 77 during the first test).
