Disparity Between BAt and Ball in This World Cup

Definitely seems better to bat first this tournament. We haven’t seen many big totals chased yet. Seems like teams are setting massive scores and the team batting 2nd don’t come close to reaching it

Which teams are qualifying?

India, South Africa and New Zealand would have to implode not to qualify, thereafter I reckon one from three although some fancy the Afghans after beating two Test sides who bowled utter Gurbaz, I mean garbage

not saying Afghans are no good or didn't deserve to win, just they were hardly met by the best performances by both sides

I know Aus got 3 of them so called weaker teams left. But absolute anyone team can trouble them if they get one their openers out early then you got Smith and Marnus playing a test innings and their lower order and Keeper not firing. Plus they haven’t bowled well I think they haven’t been able to pick up a wicket their first 15 overs for 3 games so far

yet took a sixth attempt to win the toss, bat and win....

and last time I looked the results were about if not 50-50 as to batting or bowling first won

one thing is certain, as I posted earlier, very few close games - 38 and 69 (?) runs smallest margin batting first, 4 wickets and that was a Kohli hundred or bust margin among the chasing margins. A fair few factors involved, but fair to say not many close ones

They’ve been similar stats. But when you look at teams that have posted over 300 it looks more favourable for them when they’ve batted first.

280-320 is definitely chaseable and will get chased more often than not but we are either seeing 270-280 or 350+ in fact. Nothing in between!!

270s-280s are mostly getting chased while 350+ scores aren't.

Would like to see some targets in the 300-320 range.

So far after 18 matches,

Number of centuries: muthaf****** 13

Number of 5-wicket hauls: 1

That only 5-five wicket haul was by an SLA, Santner.

Is it a success as yet?

Who Is More Effective/Valuable in the Modern Game? Right-Arm Off SPin OR Slow Left Arm? (*Official* Battle of the finger spinners)

I feel like stock of the SLA is way more valuable in the modern game...this applies to all formats. I know that the finalists of the recently concluded WTC Final had two awesome off-spinners in their respective squads...one team chose to play theirs and they won lol. As an observation (and I...
