ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[|MINER|]

In the end, it was a very closely contested series. Rain interruption added to the drama and Australia emerged as the winners. But England had a lot of positives to take away. They fielded a very young squad, with a lot of players in their early 20s. Their performance bodes well for them in the future. On the other hand, Australia fielded a very ageing squad, and especially the bowlers were not in great form. Despite the series win, a lot of questions will be asked to the team and also to the selectors.

Are you talking about the last match between Australia versus England ? Then I will say that even then if there was no rain there were also high chance of winning Australian team. Because they also did great performance in that match. The way they played in that match in my opinion I think they will easily touch the target and the target wasn't at that amount which cannot be touch especially for the Australian team. Anyway we had a great innings to see in this series lucky England won two match.

[Compromise me]

Most of the people here were rooting for England, and England played well.  But Australia's win was really interesting and great, although this series was very competitive between the two teams till the last moment, Australia team won the series for DLS. Anyway, both the teams in the match performed very well, but due to the rain, England's chances were further reduced. Travis Head got off to a great start, and they batted a lot early on, which led to Australia winning the series. But Australia must be congratulated that although they had a poor performance in two matches, they showed their strong performance in the last match.

I agree with your statement. Match could be change and we could see good bowling in middle overs but DLD method can't predict that because that is only calculation and AI . But human mind don't believe that the situation of last match of Australia could be the same as empires showed that . England team gave good target and they were eligible to win this series but rain interrupted and they could not win this series but I Know actually the winner of that series is only England team because they are quality played and they always try to win every series and they did not lose heart in any match and that is big reason of their success.England bowlers could bend the match to their sides but the result was different due to rain and DLS method.

What a decider between England and Australia ongoing at the moment. On one hand, it looks like Australia will cruise to a series win while it looks like England can pull things back in their favor through successive wickets on the other hand.

I bet on England since the odds were extremely favorable even though it looks like they will lose this match and series. Also, why Inglis instead of Carey? Weird!

Edit: Looks like I lost my bet thanks to the annoying rain interruption. Anyway, congratulations Australia as expected.

Sad to hear you lost your bets. England would have had some chances if it hadn't rained, but the rains blew away all chances. But Australia batted brilliantly, especially early on, if Travis Head and Matthew Short had not been aggressive, the DLS system might not have led the run-rate. However, Australia eventually won the series. Best wishes to Australia for winning this very competitive series.

Australia used a good strategy here, they tried to hold on to as many wickets as they could in anticipation of rain. If England could have restricted Australia to a few more runs, on the contrary, if they had picked up one more wicket, the result would have gone in England's favour. However, in this series we saw a tough competition between England and Australia, as England did not give Australia much of a chance as England toured Australia and won the ODI series in a tough contest. If the fifth ODI match was abandoned for some reason, then the ODI series would have been inconclusive just like the T20 series.

Markhors (Pakistan) vs Panthers (Pakistan)

Final match between Markhors and Panthers was big surprise. Markhors who played well until then struggled under pressure. Without their captain Muhammad Rizwan their batting did not go well. They lost wickets fast. Fakhar Zaman scored 46 runs but that was not enough. Panthers easily beat Markhors low score of 126 runs winning with 5 wickets left and 18 overs remaining.
Markhors relied too heavily on Rizwan leadership. Without him, they were weak. Panthers took advantage and showed their strength.

And it is also a shame for Markor because his performance was the best and highest in the entire Champions Cup matches.  But they will lose the match in the final.  They have played a lot of matches and the pressure was only to be put in this match.  They should have played full and well and won the match.  I don't like all Markur batsmen and that was my effort to lose this match.  And anyway they weren't fast enough and good enough to win the finals, but based on their performance and winning every match they should have won the finals.  Their bowler stopped the runs with great effort and good bowling and took an easy target for their batsmen and their batsmen achieved this target in 18 overs and won the match.  Markoor's batsmen should be ashamed that they had a 50-over innings in which they would have conceded a target of 122.

If Australia could not win the toss and decided to bat in the 5th ODI match then they would not have got the chance to play accordingly. England had nothing to do in the last match due to which they defeated. However, England had a chance to win the first match of the T20 series but they lost that match. They had chances to win the match when they were able to counter a big target from Australia but the team could not win the match. I think they missed the T20 series because of the loss in that match. But we can definitely say that both the teams tried and they competed well. As a big team in cricket, the performances of both teams were good. England won the 3rd and 4th match in a row in the ODI series which were much needed and they managed to do those which made me very happy.

Yes you are right Australia played carefully saving wickets because of expected rain. England missed big chance to win by not getting one more Australian player out or limiting their runs. This series was very competitive between England and Australia.
England did not let Australia win easily making games exciting. If last game was canceled series would have been undecided like the T20 series. Luckily important games were played showing the teams talent and determination.

South Africa vs Ireland

Today South Africa will face Ireland in the first ODI match. Earlier the T20 series was drawn 1-1. But in both the matches we got to see good performances from Ireland players. The team performed well in the two matches and gave away big targets. Ireland set a huge target of 196 runs in the last match.

South Africa team is not in good form now. The performance of the players in particular is quite erratic at the moment. The team won easily in the first match of T20 format, but lost the second match by 10 runs. South Africa team is very experienced compared to Ireland in ODI format. However, as the performance of the South African players is very erratic, it is not certain whether South Africa will win the match. However, South Africa are more likely to win, but the match will be competitive.

If there are two eternal rival teams in cricket then those two teams are Pakistan and India but after India and Pakistan if there are two eternal rival teams in cricket then surely the name of Australia and England will come there too.  

England and Australia teams are almost equal in terms of competition so when there is a bilateral series or a big tournament match between these two teams we see the most excitement in these matches. Initially, England were defeated by Australia by a big margin so early on we thought that Australia might beat England by a big margin but later on England got back to their best form and came back in the series brilliantly.
However, England lost to Australia due to rain.

Today South Africa will face Ireland in the first ODI match. Earlier the T20 series was drawn 1-1. But in both the matches we got to see good performances from Ireland players. The team performed well in the two matches and gave away big targets. Ireland set a huge target of 196 runs in the last match.

In the T20I match, the two teams performed the best, with Ireland playing the most role in bowling in the second match. The bowling performance was so good that the Ireland team won easily, and South Africa put the players under such pressure that they were forced to lose at the last minute. The result in the T20I match is tied at 1-1.

South Africa team is not in good form now. The performance of the players in particular is quite erratic at the moment. The team won easily in the first match of T20 format, but lost the second match by 10 runs. South Africa team is very experienced compared to Ireland in ODI format. However, as the performance of the South African players is very erratic, it is not certain whether South Africa will win the match. However, South Africa are more likely to win, but the match will be competitive.

Today's first ODI match will see both teams perform equally well, and the South African team can survive the moment. Because the South African team players are aware and experienced enough to perform patiently for a long time in the past matches. So South Africa team can win this first ODI match with Ireland team today, as the game of cricket is uncertain result the game can change anytime.

[Insanity]

The first match of the ODI series between Ireland and South Africa is going to start shortly. It is impossible to say which team will win the match in today's first match as both the teams have almost equal strength. Still I decided to bet in favor of South Africa in this match today. I am hopeful that I can definitely profit from betting on this match today. You can also bet in support of South Africa in the first match of this ODI series today.

We are currently having competitive teams in cricket Australia, India and England and these are rivals as well Pakistan is almost broke in cricket specially after their defeat against Bangladesh at home things are gone from bad to worse they are not Indian rivals in cricket now they needed time for having development and bringing themselves to Indian cricket level which is surely not easy due to their internal issues which are hurting them badly for last few years.

We are living in era of big-3 as they are dominating forces and having enough sources and finances which can help them for dominate in game for long time with second row teams are South Africa, New Zealand Sri Lanka and Pakistan then we have all others but due to not good domestic leagues and system now we are having huge difference of quality in these teams which is creating problems but no one doing anything about this because all are having their own deep pockets and trying to fill them.

South Africa is playing normal at the moment, not too good nor too bad. They have made just over a 100 runs and lost three wickets. The Captain Temba Bavuma failed again today and was out only making four runs. Right now they have two set batsmen, Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs, batting in their 40s and looking to make half century.

This match can go either way because it all depends on how long these set batsmen play and South Africa end up make a total near 280+. Mark Adair took 2 wickets in his five overs and his remaining 5 over spell will be crucial for the Irish team to restrict the South Africans.

South Africa vs Ireland 1st ODI match today South Africa team is batting in the first innings. The South African team is batting brilliantly today and has improved their game a lot. At the moment they have lost 6 wickets, although two batsmen of the South African team batted well today Tristan Stubbs and Ryan Rickelton. Ryan Rickelton scored 91 runs from 102 balls but unfortunately failed to score a century, Tristan Stubbs also scored 79 runs from 86 balls. But the other batsmen did not bat well, the two who are batting at the moment can score well if they can collect good runs. At the moment the South African team has collected 206 runs in 39 overs, although they do not have good batsmen at the moment so they cannot collect too many runs.

Looks like South Africa is in trouble now. They are 208/6 after 40 overs. Wiaan Mulder and Bjorn Fortuin are at the crease now. Once again, Mark Adair is the pick of the Irish bowlers, and his figures read 8-0-35-4 at the moment. Craig Young is also bowling well, with figures of 7-1-26-1. But the problem for Ireland is that all the other bowlers are looking expensive, including Andy McBrine and Gavin Hoey. Adair and Young have 5 overs remaining. But who will bowl the other 5 overs? That is going to be a dilemma for the Irish captain.

Rickelton entered the field as the opening batsman of the South African team and he performed well, but other batsmen did not perform well. But these two batsmen Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs have scored enough runs and their role is the biggest in today's match. 
In today's match, the South African team collected a total of 271 runs by losing nine wickets, 271 runs is not enough in the ODI match. But the reverse team is not strong enough, the target of 271 runs is too big for the Ireland team. If the South African team can create enough pressure from the bowling side, then there will definitely be a chance for the South African team to win this match.

You don't think the Ireland team is weak at all as they have already leveled the two match T20 series especially in the first one they lost very contest and in the next match Ireland beat South Africa by ten runs. The UAE where the match is being held is a neutral venue for both teams so any team can play well at any time.  But the target of 271 runs for today's match will be a bit tough for Ireland especially if Ireland can get good runs in the opening pair then surely it will be very easy for Ireland to win. Ireland team has several all-rounders who if they perform well in any match Ireland wins that match.  But today's match will certainly see a couple of such pairings from the Irish side and hopefully a weaker side will beat a stronger side today.

[Sithara007]

Pathetic display by Ireland. They had South Africa struggling at 212/7, when Wiaan Mulder got out. But then they allowed the lower order and tail-end batsmen to pile up runs. Mark Adair and Craig Young bowled beautifully. At the same time the experienced Andy McBrine leaked plenty of runs, joined by Graham Hume and Gavin Hoey. Today it was an ideal opportunity for the Irish to go one up in the series, but now the chances look rather bleak. Now they can regret about the missed opportunity.

Today is the first one day match between Ireland and South Africa, the South African team inning has finished. They are able to make 271 runs i their 50 overs. Are these enough runs for the to win ?

For this lets see some history of the Ireland team recently. In the T20 series, the Ireland team played well as they won the second match against South Africa fully max good players team. Also in the first game of T20, Ireland was looking stronger but lost that match and won the second game too. By the way, in the second match Ross also made century for Ireland and was awarded man of the match for his 100 runs. I have hopes today too with him because he is the main player of the team Ireland.

Based on this, I decided to bet on Ireland's team and got a very nice odds of 3.30. All now Ireland need is to win this game

Good target by the South Africa team, they made 271 and I think it will not be chased by Ireland but at the same time, South Africa is not fully satisfied with this target because they lost the last game very badly which is why today they want to make it win.

Ryan Rickelton did very good opening, he was lacked by 9 runs to make the score of three digits, he was out on 91 runs. Also Tristan Stubbs made good runs, except for these both player no other player play good like them. Ireland have a 40 percent chances to win this game as cricinfo saying. Who will win it?

[Insanity]

South African team batsmen Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs' outstanding performance, the South African team was able to give the Ireland team a target of 272 runs. The batting of these two great batsmen of the South African team was really good in today's match. Ryan Rickelton scored 91 off 102 balls and Tristan Stubbs scored 79 off 86 balls. But if the other batsmen of the South African team could have batted a little better. Then the South African team could have given the 300+ target to the Ireland team. Now we are waiting to see how strong the bowling line of the South African team will be in the second innings.
