50 overs cricket world cup 2023

Fiddles nice to see we meet on common ground about cricket, whereas on the Voice we obviously have opposing views. BTW have you taken that $6.50 about the Voice getting up with Blue Bet ?

2005 front line fast bowlers McGrath, Gillispie, Lee, Tait, Kasprowicz.

Mcgrath and Lee would be up to Starc, Cummins or Hazelwood, the other two maybe not.

Batsmen = Ponting, Hayden, Clarke etc no comparison and Gilchrist as wicketkeeper compared to Carey and Inglis, please !!!

Gillespie and Kasprowicz didn't play a world cup. Shaun Tait to injury prone.

I don't think it would be accurate to compare bowling averages directly, the overall scoring rate in 50 over cricket has gone up in the last 20 years so naturally the median bowling average has also. All the same Lee was a great white ball bowler, probably the most comparable to Starc and McGrath's brilliance can not be compared, however like I said, the 99/03/07 bowlers also had that high powered batting line-up.

The 03 final had a top 7 of Hayden, Gilchrist, Ponting, Martyn, Lehmann, Bevan and Symonds. Perhaps if you were to pick a top 7 over the 3 finals, you'd swap Clarke in for Martyn and Hussey in for Lehmann, a top 7 that would put the fear up many and one that could either set a target thats tough or chase any target down, much easier on the bowlers than the present line up.

I'm not really interested in betting much anymore Bob. I just keep one account open for my sports multi's and the occasional surfing bet. I don't bet on animals anymore period, so having one account is ok for me, besides they all copy one another's odds most of the time anyway. Last weekends premier league multi I had all the results correct barring Liverpool and Brighton, I had Liverpool to win and it was a draw, my nerves got the better of me and I cashed out $200 odd something, the bet was a $10 bet spread over two $5 bets, if Liverpool won and I let it ride it was something like 33k ish

it's all just a bit of fun.

This and a few surfing bets when I'm feeling it are my limits these days.

NZ V Bangladesh tonight be nice to see the tigers get up but I can't see it. Teams like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka etc don't have the power hitters in batting necessary to win big games against the big 4. They try to win games hitting 1's and 2's, that's just not good enough in the big games. When you have so many big lads with powerful arms who can put it over the fence time and time again, they have no hope really.

Big Big game tomorrow night Pakistan V India, the crowd atmosphere will be something else.

NZ win easily over Bangladesh and look like they are heading for the semi finals. They have had a dream start in this WC.

Don't forget Pakistan V India tonight should be a cracker.

Panspermia.

India win toss and bowling, Pakistan off to a reasonable start at 79-2 off 15 overs, so they are travelling at around 5.75 an over.

Eng V Afg

afg 227-6 off 42 overs.

Afghanistan win.

And all of a sudden you guys are interested in the WC, big surprise, I wonder why. Pinch

England looked tired and jaded, like a lot of the teams here at this WC, the heat and travel must be jarring after a while. Eng batting has been woeful, gotta give AFG credit though, their bowling was pretty tight, and they scored a total that was always going to be tricky to chase down. This whole win the toss and bowl no matter is just insane imo, on these pitches you want to bat first every game, chasing on these low slow pitches is just nuts imo.

It seems like India have prepared test match like pitches, for one day cricket, and it's showing up in some of the results. There hasn't been one of those traditional one day pitches at any of the grounds I've seen, you know those where the ball comes onto the bat nicely and there is very little grass, all of the pitches are slow and low, with loads of dead grass on them like day 4 test pitches.

Doubt England can come back from this. I seriously want to punch Bairstow in the nose, he is so dopey it drives me mad. The lack of energy and charisma from most of the players is hard to watch.

Australia is traveling worse than the Poms fiddle, so not sure how that works.

$1.22

Fiddles, free money?

You should have backed the NO vote at the referendum, that was $ 1.10 at the jump ..10% on your.money overnight, and now you are telling me Australia are over the odds at $ 1.22, against a side that has already made over 300 runs in both their games already.. leave me out of those odds on Australia thank you very much

SL 51-0 off 10 overs.

I can’t watch these clowns anymore. After making absolute fools of themselves with their bowling tactics in the UK they’re continuing it here

Half track rubbish, usually leg side & easily banished to the boundary Dead

make that 157-2 Cummins finally gets a wicket on the slow and lo pitch.
