    Rank the World Cups

    then get ready for much of the same if it is another group then "super shi....." phase, just stick to basic formats/structures and quit with the round robin fixation whether that is the group or that is the "super" group needs to be a balance, since they scrapped the 4x4 format which was...

    An Assessment of the Group Stage Matches of this World Cup

    was England's poor start and passable finish down to lack of preparation? I'd suggest not, the squad was poorly assembled and the bowling a weak link, they won their last two games by batting 1st and wouldn't probably have mattered a lot 1st or 2nd vs Holland bottom line is they won 3 games...

    An Assessment of the Group Stage Matches of this World Cup

    sadly yes, toss hasn't been that influential, England won 7 and went out, and pretty even on bat 1st vs bat 2nd Most tosses won 7 England 5 New Zealand*, Holland, Bangladesh 4 Sri Lanka, Australia, India**, Pakistan 2 South Africa *kiwis elected to bowl every time **didn't seem to matter if...

    The Points Table/Standings

    there are pros and cons to including more participants, too steep a learning curve for those minnows that do make it to learn much in a short space of time and often getting hammered - here only really Holland were true minnows and didn't do too badly, others are weak non-minnows and England...

    The Points Table/Standings

    whilst only 7 out of 19 sides who won the toss and batted won the game, here's an interesting set of stats to TOSS out there (although could say as he's a proven accomplished tosser I should let Burgey do the honours!) Most tosses won 1. England 7 [batted P3 W2 L1, bowled P4 W0 L4] =2. New...

    well may not be a fantastic win or even result for Holland, or is it? all sides lost to India, but how did their total rank? 1. New Zealand 273* 2. Afghanistan 272/8* 3. Bangladesh 256* 4. Holland 250 5. Australia 199* 6. Pakistan 192* 7. England 129 8. South Africa 83 9. Sri Lanka 55 *batted...

    he may not have shot his Boult, but the Indians may well shoot it! Trent Boult ODIs vs India (overall) : 25 wkts @ 26.00 vs India (in India) : 11 wkts @ 38.91 (SR 43.45, ER 5.37) at 4 of the 8 grounds in India against India he's either wicketless (3) or 1/60 (1), however at the semi-final...

    idiot getting out late, would otherwise have been "every batsmen made a fifty or hundred" (no time for the new batsman to do so, could also have declared which might have been as an insult but I think beeb naively in the extreme suggesting Holland "could qualify for Champions Trophy with a win"...

    bungledash ought to be grateful for the timed out classic win over Sri Lanka, otherwise it would look like they'd be bottom not Holland England have been well below par, poor in some games (Sri Lanka and other games, 3 scores under 200 speaks volumes) but even as ordinary as deshis can be...

    bit late so his debt may never be repaid, averaging low 20s with bat and 50 with ball 2020-2023, might just be good enough to play for Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Holland, probably not Afghans - well done to them btw on reaching CT

    ***Official***Match # 44- England vs Pakistan - November 11th - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N)

    nothing much at stake bar securing $500k for the Champions Trophy in 2025, can't fault him here as England will want to push on if not to win then to maintain a NRR advantage over others BUT considering the hype and fast-track of him into this format he still has a lot to prove. 292 runs now in...

    ***Official***Match # 44- England vs Pakistan - November 11th - Eden Gardens, Kolkata (D/N)

    no consolation whatsoever, but I think even if England had done better in some of the poor losses they suffered they probably wouldn't have qualified anyway could be a while before the aussies win again, on for four hosts winning in a row and I wonder if the ICC haven't set it up for India...

    Head averaging 41.21 in ODIs before this innings, 101.44 SR, spin probably best not to be bowling (16 wkts again before today, 58.81 apiece and ER 5.79 which is nothing special better home (47.12) than away (38.42), well batting anyway, equally awful with ball, does only average 32.80 in India...

    according to wiki kiwis have kwalified already, think they know that it is almost impossible to get Pakistan to the semis or maybe they did it the second England won the toss still there are some will panic about the slimmest of possibilities.......

    also sometimes you get bowlers who've bowled ordinary or worse thrown the ball to try and bag them some late wickets, see it with Ali, Wood and others for England, turn their figures around

    ***Official***Match # 43- Australia vs Bangladesh - November 11th - Pune (D)

    practice chasing, want a few more on the board, and besides which who bowls at this stage is going to make no difference to the result or the semis so may as well save him I guess

    they are on a winning run, 1 in a row..... having lost FOUR in a row Pakistan, South Africa, Australia, India, although the Pakistan defeat was ropier than many kiwis claim their 2019 final loss was I mean a target under half the runs kiwis got in about half the overs, given they lose many more...

    ***Official***Semi-Final #1- India vs New Zealand - November 15th - Wankhede, Mumbai (D/N)

    England will be playing for $500k, the reward for remaining in the top 8 places just imagine had England taken better bowlers for the conditions, played better, not underestimated Afghans and perhaps played better against Sri Lanka this could have been a play-off to push kiwis for 4th They...
