Bowling and batting lineups

[trundler]

Pakistan, West Indies and maybe Bangladesh have the most bog ordinary bowling lineups in the world cup. Expect them to be thrashed. Bowling has always been the difference maker, particularly in knockout matches. England are uninspiring but alright. They have 6 bowling options which is good. Australia do not. Their fifth bowler will likely be a combo of Stoinis and Maxwell. Expect that to thrashed into oblivion. Patto, Starc and Zampa are quality though. SA and India obviously the most varied attacks.

England lead on batting obviously. Question is, who will concede the highest score of the tournament? Will there be double centuries?

SL have the worst attack of the major nations imo.

Forgot all about them lmao. They look pretty toothless. **** me, of all the Asian countries India have the strongest bowling lineup. Only strong bowling attack in fact.

India will likely have one game where all the bowlers collectively **** themselves, costing them dearly. Most likely a knockout match.

You could say the same about any team.

I'm picking England to have an off-day with the bat where they're too arrogant/confident about their deep batting lineup to consolidate after losing a few early, only to get rolled cheaply in a knockout.

Batting: Eng>Ind>SA>Aus>WI>Pak>NZ>Bang>SL>Afg

Bowling: SA>Aus>NZ>Ind>Pak>Bang>Eng>Afg>WI>SL

Bolded parts are too close to call imo.

Hoping my favourite bowling line up will win the WC. Steyn, Rabada, Ngidi, Tahir.
Steyn missing first 2 games though.

Tbh, if the weaker teams regularly get an opportunity to bat first, big totals are not bound to happen. England batting first against Bangladesh or SL would be interesting.
