ICC World Cup 2023 - India discussion

[Bureau]

India gave total of 397 for NZ to chase. Although, NZ came close to chasing similar huge total against Aussies, here it will be difficult for them considering Indian attack.

One-liner reply, I expected some more from you as a veteran in the forum. Then again I am no one to say as I got tagged because of no reason. So, let's take it that way someone using your address. But, who will understand still a line statement still falls under spam? I think rather than spamming here for your signature campaign you should try to come up with constructive posts. If not then it is better you do not reply as your replies would affect the overall report that comes out monthly.

A one-liner reply is considered spam and if you could have understood it you won't be doing it on the local board. I do not know what makes you do it but being an active local board member you should understand the issues that it can bring up. Challenging me won't serve the cause using the Signature campaign as an example. I have been wrongly accused and I know I won't be able to clear my name out. No one cares about your Reddit understanding as this is a forum where you have to come up with constructive replies. A one-liner is never a constructive reply, If you think it is an issue then please do not reply here as your replies are spam.

BTW, the game is now being controlled by the New Zealand team. These two guys are batting very effectively and if they continue they might win the game against India. It would be an astounding win against a team that has not lost any game in this tournament.

No need to derail guys, please stay on topic.

Mitchel and Kane partnership brought nightmare for the whole India for a while but again thanks to the man with golden arm who dismissed Kane quickly after he dropped his catch.

Now India through for the final and who they are going to meet there? SA will be much easier side to beat compared to Australia.

What?

He was on the bench for the initial games in the World Cup. Due to Hardik Pandya's injury he got the chance to be part of the squad. After that he hasn't looked back. The only match where was wicketless was against the Netherlands. The rise of Shami in the World Cup would be remembered by every Indian fans who are witnessing one of India's finest bowler.

I actually enjoyed every bit of his bowling yesterday. Earlier I used to watch India bat through the 50 overs. This time I am more interested in Indian bowling than batting. Indian into the finals a dream come true once again.

We will face the Australians in the final and we might be able to get them this time. This is my feeling after watching India bat so well and bowl excellently. I would say in this team fortunately everyone is in his peak form. If you do not agree then as an example look at KL Rahul's wicket keepering. I somehow feel he now has wings to fly and decide whether to take a DRS chance.

As the second semifinal continues and looking at the present situation I feel Australia would be in the finals. Another setback for India as Australia, when they come back is not so easy to defeat. It is in history and I feel it will be destroyed in this World Cup.

The Finals!



It looks like BCCI wants the ending to be good! They started without any ceremony, making a joke of themselves for making the India against Pakistan match more important than the first match of the World Cup. After the big backlash both from within India and from other countries participating in the Cup, they now have a grand finale. I was reading a few social media posts where they claimed Dua Lipa was supposed to perform but the itinerary does not have her name.

[Bureau]

Why is everyone questioning the authenticity of the match being played between India and New Zealand? It all started with British media which called BCCI as opportunistic and blamed them for pitch conspiracy until ICC intervened in this issue. They were followed by Australia and then came in Pakistan. Pakistani experts came up with the toss theory and blah blah..

They are trying to disgrace India by showing BCCI as a biased board throughout the cricket fraternity. Why don't they look into what they did in the previous World Cup held in England? I agree that initially, things were not that great but gradually it now looks like the Indian team has been playing in their fullest form. Thanks to Hardik Pandya the team is well balanced and has the potential to win the Cup.

Every time India plays well these ex-cricketers and their boards come up with conspiracy theories. This time the Pakistani ex-cricketers went to the extent of shaming Aishwarya Rai and Neena Gupta for no reason. Such hatred about India and its people is now coming out from our neighbor located on the western side.

If you are being hated by everyone it means you are doing something right and they dont like you progressing. The lion does not respond to the heynas, the lion performs and shows everyone what they are made of.

So keep clam and enjoy the popularity they are giving us.

Exactly! The better we become you will see more hate and theories floating around. I remember the 2011 World Cup when we won under the captaincy of Dhone. There were so many conspiracies circulating the way we won and Srilanka the team that we defeated came up with all sorts of hate and theories. Expect the same today if we win against the Australian team and take the World Cup 2023 back home.

Rohit Sharma and his team can create another history today if they win. They would become the second team in the World Cup which has won 11 games straight after Australia. I still think today India will be playing against one of the toughest teams as the rebound that Australia made is incredible and they have a chance to win today.

[Bureau]

Indian batting collapsed and now it doesn't look good for India. Except Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul none of our batters were able to get good runs. Shubhman Gill and Sheyas Iyer only scored in single digits today. They both gave their wickets I felt while trying to hit. This is still better to what India scoreboard looked when they played first against Australia in the tournament.

We still have a very good bowling attack and I still have hope and confidence on our bowlers. They have not let India down in the tournament. I feel they would hit back hard when they come to bowl against Australia.

[Bitcoin Smith]

HeartBreaking moment for every Indian cricket fans.

AUS beat us by 6 wickets and they did it like how we did to every teams in the league stage and semi final. I don't know where we lost in this match but definitely Australia created their momentum with their fielding and carried it away through the match.

Kudos to every Indian players who gave their everything and just one bad day can't lower your standards. Gotta feel for the hitman he did what he supposed to do throughout the tournament and played for the team in every match.

[Bureau]

Another disaster to a journey which we all expected to be fruitful. That is why India is still consider a team that doesn't have guts to win ICC trophy. I felt they woul win this time, at last they lost and got again humiliated.



The picture above shows the hunger to win. The reality is far far away from it as India doesn't have the captain or the guts to win the cup. The team that won the cup in 2011 had the incredible MS Dhoni with a team that wanted to get the cup. The team that lost today had an incredible captain Rohit Sharma but did lage the urge to get the cup.

[libert19]

So we have India losing final. This match was similar to India's early game vs England where also our batting failed (except couple players) and India made 229, there bowlers saved the day, here they couldn't.

[pakhitheboss]

Another World Cup and another opportunity missed. This time India were so close to win the Cup. The whole team played excellently, last 10 games but collapsed in the finals. Feel sad for Rohit Sharma as this might be his last World Cup.

The toss was an important factor, if and only if India had won the toss the outcome would be different yesterday. Next year we will be watching the T20WC and I hope India wins under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya.

During toss Rohit was asked what would have he chose if he had won the toss and he replied to bat first. So, I mean result would have been still the same even if India had won the toss.

Team India didn't analyze the condition properly also they thought dew won't be an affecting factor but that was the whole mattered in the match, that is why Rohit said we would have batted first. On the other hand Australia were on point on everything and simply they did the big game preparation and also it was visible in every move they made and every wicket they took.

Only trump card was Rohit and they don't have any plan for him but also they knew that his approach of batting will them give chances so their only point is never lose the catch. Still can't digest and depressed to be honest.

@Bitcoin Smith why not change the heading of this thread from ICC World Cup 2023 - India discussion to Indian Cricket discussion. It will help the local board and a few of us who are into cricket can continue our discussion.

Next, we will se our Indian team playing 5 matches against the World Cup winning team. Out of the 5, there would be 3 T20 matches. The first one will be played on November 23rd at Vishakapatnam. Surya Kumar Yadav after his abysmal performance in the World Cup has been declared the captain of the T20 squad. I feel Hardik Pandya is still not fit to play as he was supposed to be the T20 captain and SKY the vice captain.

Lets change the topic title to keep up with the Indian cricket scenario. While this started with ICC Cricket world cup, we have an ample chance to run this thread into a mega-thread for this purpose.

Lets make sure the Cricket fever continues.
