2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis

[Ayiranorea]

Yesterday the game was different from the regular game, because Australia played as England and England played the game of Australia team. England breaking a twenty seven year unbeaten record reaching the world cup finals have made the country go full on celebration. I expect a good game in the final, and it should not go as a one sided game as the semi finals between Australia and England.

I’m not a fan of cricket really by my Father is English so I’ll be rooting for them to win the final. They're not usually this good are they, England? I don’t think they have been to a final for a very long time.

They were not good before but last 2-3 years, they are 1 of the top team. They changed attitude towards ODI cricket and that changes everything for them.

England has always been an unlucky team whether in football or cricket. They are the mother of cricket but has not been able to win a single world cup till date. Though they reached finals and semi finals many times. They are certainly one of their strongest time and have a well balanced team good enough to win the world cup in the home grounds.

People who said India or Australia were going to the finals don't know jack shit about cricket. England was always the better team, and India was just getting lucky.

India vs England final

England has always been an unlucky team whether in football or cricket. They are the mother of cricket but has not been able to win a single world cup till date. Though they reached finals and semi finals many times. They are certainly one of their strongest time and have a well balanced team good enough to win the world cup in the home grounds.

They never won a world cup because they never performed well under pressure in the past and the team England has right now is the best team they could have in the history of English one day tournaments and if they cannot perform well and take the world cup away from New Zealand then there is no way they will win another world cup in a really long time, the specialty of this final is that if either of them win the world cup it will be their first time holding the trophy in 44 years of world cup history.

People who said India or Australia were going to the finals don't know jack shit about cricket. England was always the better team, and India was just getting lucky.

Looks like you have amnesia to forget your claim that India will be facing England in the finals earlier as JSRAW pointed out  .

Lol, you really got me there

[Tipstar]

Australia was always a bad luck for New Zealand and not getting to play with Australia made them reach the final. India was just a hyped team, they were no competition to New Zealand or England. They got lucky with Australia. England and New Zealand are undoubtedly the top 2 teams at the moment.

India I think were unlucky that they played on the second day where pitch was covered the whole night and if the match would have a happened the same day NZ would have lost the match easily and India would have played against England in finals .

Don't worry. I believe we all made at least 3-4 different claims in this thread which were contradicting each other.

[semobo]

The possibility for each and every team has been available in the beginning but sometimes will not using their chances in the right time in the beginning stage also we need to perform well then only at the end we can in the safe zone otherwise if we stand in both the difficult situation it will definitely not possible for most of the time and many teams not get into the semifinals due to the the single success.

India didn't win because they played on second day. NZ had significant bowling, you must not deny that. Some early wickets fallen made India so nervous. NZ didn't got lucky. they made it in favor of them.

IMO, India lost because of the following factors:

1. NZ had the advantage of the team batting first
2. India took NZ very lightly and never considered them as tough opponents
3. Dhoni, as usual failed to score the boundaries and keep scoreboard ticking
4. Younger players (Rishabh Pant, Hardick Pandya) went for unnecessary shots and got out
5. Kane Williamson used the right bowlers on specific occasions

There's a lot to blame, a lot of reason can be made. Dhoni's slow batting even if the RR was increasing, Pant's unnecessary short as you mentioned, A big change in batting position etc, but at the end of the day those are common mistakes all the team do very often. NZ has done well but India just got unlucky, that's the truth.

See every time the winning will not work to the same team always each time the situation of the team will changes because we might see many New upcoming cricketers will change the formats. This year we are going to see a new team winning the world cup.

Lol. Spoken like a true hater. Its quite pathetic seeing you fools make such dumb statements. Anyone with a half decent brain could tell that India and England had a great chance of lifting the cup this time around.

England and India are literally on top of the ODI rankings. Lucky to beat Australia by 36 runs? Lol. The truth is that New Zealand had the devils luck(Rain) through out this tournament and ended up reaching the finals.

Imagine New Zealand is the World cup champion. Then in the Sri Lanka series they will lose the series against Sri Lanka. Then again in England series they will lose against England. No disrespect to the New Zealand team but this team is very much dependable on Kane Williamson. With him this is an average team and without him this is a below average team.

I remember when Sri Lanka was world champion, they continued the legacy for the next several years. They were very tough team.

Srilanka were a much better team than NZ current team in 1996. They win the 1996 World cup and they truly deserve it. Actually before that time it was considered  to slowly start the innings but it was srilanka who started hitting in the first 15 overs and changed the overall mindset of ODI. But with passage of time they could not continue their form and none of the new players made any big impact on international cricket.

India was getting lucky too. Their only rain game was against NZ, the team that absolutely decimated them in the semis.
