    Your Ideal Scenario for the Final

    Ah! All Blacks! That is where harsh.ag got his fierce icon from: all black, penetrative blue eyes and a striped scarf against a red background. Very intimidating indeed; no wonder these All Blacks clobber the Aussies all the time. Just for fun. Real pity that the cricket edition of all...

    2nd Semi Final - Australia v England

    They have the Y factor. In abundance. In WC knockouts, Y factor trumps X factor. Always.

    Role of rain in semi final line-up

    The four teams at the top of the ICC ODI rankings are the four teams in the semifinals. Don't see anything very wrong with that outcome.

    Who have you grown an admiration for in this world cup?

    If only one has to be named: Warner 2.0. Batting as well as ever, sans the Aussie nastiness. Didn't know he had that kind of steel in him.

    Your Ideal Scenario for the Final

    New Zealand beating England by one run. Bowling England out on the last ball of the final. With King Kane having scored a century, and Lord Colin producing a stellar all round performance.

    1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

    Before you get another crack at England.

    1st Semi Final - India v New Zealand

    So this has turned out quite nicely: it is going to be a New Zealand vs England final after all. C'mon, you Kiwis! C'mon, King Kane! Just win the damn thing this time.

    43rd Match - Pakistan v Bangladesh

    Overall, it was a good tournament for Pakistan. But for the blip against Afghanistan, they seemed to get better as the tournament progressed.

    43rd Match - Pakistan v Bangladesh

    Correction: plus seven, not minus seven.

    Sky showing final free to air

    Free to air! This is why the ECB is so gung ho about the Hundred! All hail the Hundred! The saviour of English cricket has started working even before it has arrived.

    43rd Match - Pakistan v Bangladesh

    Hah! Mustafizzur gets yet another five-fer. You just can't keep the Fizz down. To qualify, Pakistan will now need to bowl Bangladesh out for something like minus seven runs.

    India Top Two ODI batsmen

    What is all this argument all about? Bevan is the greatest batsman that walked this earth. And heavens. His exalted story is the stuff of legends and mythology. A story worth repeating, ad nauseam, even at the core of a debate about the top two Indian ODI batsmen. Bevan! Bevan!! Bevan...

    World cup review thread

    In a tournament where spinners have generally struggled, Shakib has been excellent. If you think that he hasn't had a reasonable tournament as a bowler, there is something wrong with you.

    43rd Match - Pakistan v Bangladesh

    This ought to be a well contested game; essentially a fight for the fifth place. Important to both teams, I would think.

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Open with King Kane; he has been coming in early, anyway.

    Man of the tournament?

    Going by pure stats, Shakib by a couple of country miles. Bairstow comes into reckoning because of his performance in the two games that his team had to win to stay alive. At this stage, everyone else is an also ran.

    43rd Match - Pakistan v Bangladesh

    I fancy Bangladesh to win this game; they appear to have the better team.

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Their one job is to beat England the next time they meet them; in the final.
  19. Borges

    Man of the tournament?

    1. Shakib 2. Bairstow 3. Starc, Nohit etc.

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Doesn't matter; play a central role in winning the semifinal and all this would be forgotten.
