2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis

[Pffrt]

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.

Srilanka team became an average team after the retired of Sangakara, Mahela, Dilshan. Before this, they were a good team. They played 2007 world cup final, 2011 world cup final in ODI. In T20, they lifted the cup in 2014 and played final 2 times more in 2009 and 2012. They were a giant till 2014 probably. After that, they were not able to find a significant player.

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.

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.

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

I know India was jumping so high, they were extra confident about their win in this world cup but as we know there is not success for the proud, NS played really stick and we good game with India so they were not able to win, finally now India is out from the world cup so I hope NS will win this cup, I wish them good luck.

India where unlucky that they had to bat on 2nd day and due to which pitch did not supported batsman in early hours of play and thus India lost the game their only . Had the match played in the same day Nz might have lost badly the same match they won on 2nd day .

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.

Kane Williamson has only made 30 in the final match and faced 54 balls. He did not get the chance to recover the run rate. Now there is a lot of responsibility on Ross Taylor if NZ were to make a decent score here.  Nicholls also need to make to a big score to keep NZ in the game.

Today England bowling was on target and they give no chances to kiwis so now they have some decent target for winning first ever world cup.

England needs another 236 runs to win, with 48 overs and 10 wickets remaining. From this point, there is close to 100% probability of England winning the match, and the trophy. Only something stupid from their part can alter the result. My only concern is that both Jason Roy and Johnny Bairstow have started very cautiously... that's not needed. They should play in their natural style.

England are now in  control of the match. They still have six wickets in had while they require slightly more than 6.5 runs per over.
A quick successive wicket may change the momentum but Buttler and Stokes seems to be holding and rotating the strike well. Which is enough to make them win.

The partnership between Jos Butler and Ben Stokes have crossed 100 runs and now they've secured their names on the history making big partnership on world cup final chases. Now the fifth wicket of Jos Butler have fallen for England, and this is gonna be a very closer match with equal chance of winning for both the teams.

OMG! It's time for super over!

[FIFA worldcup]

OMG! It's time for super over!

Bad luck NZ. The scores still remain same in Super over too and England is the winner.
Just before the super over, NZ could have won it in the match if that bowl was not gone to boundary on the throw by hitting the bat.

Yeah, the New Zealanders will see that four of over-throw in their nightmare for the next few weeks. Very bad luck indeed. Just before this match, New Zealand was pretty much the luckiest team of the world cup, but now it seems like their luck paid off the debt.

Anyways, this was probably the best world cup final ever.

First world cup for England and the one worth remembering for centuries. They were unlucky for these all years being a strong team in almost all of the worldcups but never wining one. They were certainly the better team but luck was swinging from one team to other in the whole match. And at last it was in favor of England.

Well, England did make it to the finals a lot of times before, but could never finish the final with a win. Even though I think that it's beyond stupid to decide the world cup champions on the basis of the number of boundaries, it's good to see that the English team finally made it and won the world cup.

Anyways, when should I lock this thread? Tomorrow?

Yes I think tomorrow the thread should be locked as there is no sense people continuing to post in here now that the World Cup is over.

Congrats to England on winning the World Cup for the first time, I feel sorry for New Zealand as this now makes it two World Cups in a row that they have lost and this time they were so close but just couldn't get the job done. Now lets see if England can continue the momentum into the Ashes series which starts soon.

[eaLiTy]

this was probably the best world cup final ever.

One of the most exciting finals in cricketing history, when you tie the match in regular time and then once again tie the super over, they should share the trophy rather than giving it to the team who scored more boundaries, seeing cricket for a very long time and i never saw a final like this in my life, England were really lucky as New Zealand dropped a catch of Stokes i guess and a over throw that reached the boundary in the final over because it flew from the bat of the English player and over all it was a dramatic game of cricket till the final ball off the super over and you will never get a narrow victory than this  .

Asap for an apparent reason, guess will hang out again in the old thread? Ashes is scheduled next month, and chances are Royce going to open betting thread for the Ashes ( not sure yet). Your participation in discussion is always welcome. We already have tiny community, it's better to stick with each other

Luck basically transferred from New Zealand to England since New Zealand very quite lucky reaching the finals of this World Cup. The Stokes catch, overthrow hitting his bat etc show how lucky England were towards the end.

In my opinion, the match is a draw and I despise these pathetic ICC rules where the winner is decided based on boundaries and sixes. Entertaining yet controversial final overall.

Although England have won the World cup but they could not call them clear winners as the match and the Super over both ended on tie. Choosing a winner on the basis of boundaries is not fair. Maybe it could go to another super over to decide. 
NZ will remember this world cup for a long time and think if luck could be on their side.

This rule is not set at the last minute because both teams have agreed on these terms before the match start and they never expected match can end up like this way.

I too don't like that rule but you can't say England is not a clear winner. These things are part of the game and should improve these rules for future matches.

NZ was unlucky yesterday because in 50th over they over through one ball and gave ways 6 runs was their mistake otherwise they would have won this match without super over.
