2023 ODI World Cup Discussion

14/14 one sided games... Even the 'upset' was fairly one sided.

When will we see a thriller in this WC?

I enjoyed that Afghanistan game. Bittersweet. When they bring their A game they can actually beat anyone.

Agreed Googly, most of us here don't like them but credit where it's due, they have shown that if you keep pushing and give your best and keep believing then nothing is impossible and you can even beat the World Champions.

It's been a deplorable world cup. The 2011 version was alive and kicking. This just seems dead.

The quality of the sides don't seem great. Sri Lanka look toothless and even Australia and England look majorly out of sorts with their aging squads.

I like Sam Curran but he must be on a tight tight leash now

[sam_ahm]

At least twice a week they could have scheduled 2 games / day. They've kept it only for saturdays. The tournament is moving very slowly and is just dead boring.

In terms of favourites, I don't see how India can be beaten.

Lights at Dharamsala are very Harare like, looks darker in certain areas of outfield.

There is a very easy catch dropped just now and it did look quite dark in that area.

BTW did they improve / added on the lights at Harare or they are still the same?.

EDIT: they've just shown an aerial view and 100% it is darker in the deep ends of the outfield.

[Googly]

Still a bit dark in a couple of places, but they're ok. I think they could put another few lights on each tower.
I doubt they're that expensive.

That's a good idea actually, they should send a drone up when they're on and have a look and make some adjustments.

Quite a fightback this by the Dutch. They are showing why they are such a good side. I hope they win a couple of games in this event. Will be happy to see them beat the Afghans

[sam_ahm]

Well, the Dutch once again terrorizing South Africa!

Got to love Van Der Merwe

I wonder if there are any current south africa FC players who could qualify for the Dutch national side?
