And Duckworth Lewis did not screw you in 92. Duckworth Lewis did not exist then. It was another retarded system developed by Richie Benaud that revised targets by removing the team batting firsts worst overs in terms of runs scored. So if you scored 250 in 50 overs and played 5 maidens and the match was reduced to 45 overs due to rain then it would be 250 from 45. Thats a simple explanation but you can see why its retarded. | ||

Clarke can't be allowed to get away with his hubris of the last few months and our selectors in general have made some really questionable calls. Misbah hundred pls! Boooo, come on Australia. Though im curious what you mean by Clarke's hubris | ||

But it's not happening. They will run this down on like 40 overs max. It's a great pitch to bat as our batsmen have shown. Only to throw it away. | ||

As a neutral I want to see South Africa's big batting come out again further in the tournment. Sri Lanka didn't even give them anything to chase. It's a little bit misleading given we had the Super 6 format for three WCs (99, 03, 07) and SAF did win games in that second round format even though they technically weren't knockout games. But they did choke in a lot of semi final games. | ||

Also 03 they didnt make it past the first round at home. Pressure . 03 and 07 were pretty forgettable tournaments.

If you are banking on Indians to self destruct that's not happening. I wouldn't have minded getting blown away by good bowling but here or batting was as usual irresponsible. it's a good indication of the kind of people we are. Today only Starc was a world beater. Hazelwood got wickets and so did Maxwell but these were boundary balls ot innocuous deliveries that were embarrassingly dealt with. | ||
