Predictions

[ankitj]

I see India's bowling being taken apart.

I back India's bowling to pull off couple of unlikely wins. Like defending 250 or bowling out opposition at 280 after they are on course to make 350. May not still help India get a semi final spot.

It may be wishful thinking but I see their spinners struggling.

Kuldeep's magic/mystery may have worn off a bit by then so you might be right. Australia played the spinners well in the last series.

tbf he was the best Indian bowler in that ODI series against Australia (maybe Bumrah was better, can't recall)

I hope we're not reading too much into IPL performances

In ODIs both Kuldeep and Chahal have looked like ATGs all around the world

Bold prediction: Sri Lanka will not win a single game at this World Cup.

Bold prediction: it will not rain in england in june

This rain is ridiculous. The country is simply not fit to host sport sorry to the poms here but like come on

 

[Daemon]

Its barely fit to hold life which is why they colonised half the world

It never rains in Britain in June.

It never rains in England in June. Absolutely ridiculous of people to start predicting a washed out WC based on some showers in Scotland and Ireland

 

[trundler]

Aw, Britons showing their small country syndrome.

It's like a two hour drive to get around the whole island

Just wondering, how did this whole "Doesn't rain in England in June" meme even originate from

When it kept raining miday through the CT, howe tried to defend the scheduling saying that it usually doesn’t rain in England in June

Great thread

The tournament won't be ruined by rain like 92 was so people can shut up.

As for predictions, Bairstow top scorer Rashid leading wicket taker and England to beat India in the final.

Will go on record now though as saying I would prefer to win ashes over World Cup.

You've got a lot of faith mate. Every second game in the area has been rain affected the last few weeks

They may as well lift the laws on sticky wickets for this WC just so we can get on with it and have some matches play to completion
