Virat Kohli and his men are making a very strong statement here. India will stay back to play Namibia tonight to fulfil the promise that they made to the ICC. Sport teaches us the virtue of standing by one's word.
Almost every one talking about an

Finals at the MCG next Sunday. Friends, do remember though, India first need to beat England and Pakistan need to beat New Zealand in the semis. Not going to be easy

The fact that
@BoriaMajumdar
hasn’t responded to allegation that he was the one who sent those messages to Saha tells ypu a great deal about his culture.
The pattern of IPL winners that I have observed over 16 years that the tournament is invariably won by one of the two teams that play in the final. It's kind of a shocking coincidence that the winner of the final wins the trophy too.
I have a lot of admiration for KL Rahul the batsman. His main problem for not able to get into double figures is that he’s getting out in single figures. If he can address that, I’m sure a double digit score is not too far away!
The reason we all love cricket is because of the infinite possibilities it presents. Geometrically, a circle doesn’t have an edge. But in cricket, you can stand on the edge of a circle. Got to love the sport.
Ah, Smithy, we all love to play in front of 1,30,000 people, don't we all? However, a good portion of that 1,30,000 will be seated behind you when you are in the ground. We have to accept that.
How is SKY so fearless while batting?
Rohit Sharma: “That’s because he doesn’t carry any baggage. And by baggage I don’t mean suitcases- those he carries a lot because he loves his shopping. I meant he doesn’t take much pressure on himself and that’s his personality in general”
While the cricket is the key to a successful IPL, schedule is just as important. The
@BCCI
deserves all the credit for releasing it before the start of the tournament.
Since many are asking, Ashwin cannot take his 400th test wicket in this innings. He is on 397 wickets and there are only 2 wickets left. Rules of Maths are strict. However, ICC rules allow him to take it in the 2nd innings. Amazing how it works out in the end.
What is this commentary Harsha Bhogle
“What a ball , What a bowler”
“ What a field , What a fielder”
“What a bat , What a batter”
“What a win , What a Team”
You are not voice of cricket you are noise of cricket
IND: Prasidh Krishna
NZ: Kyle Jamieson
ENG: Brydon Carse
AFG: Riaz Hassan
BAN: Anamul Haque
All these players consistently stood out for their respective teams.
The fact that Ajaz Patel got all 6 wickets in this innings tells us two things.
1. India lost 6 wickets so far
2. Except Ajaz no other bowler got a wicket.
Cricket should always be a contest between bat and ball and never between bat and bat or ball and ball. Imagine a bowler bowling a bat, it doesn’t look good, does it?
Even though Australia had reached the finals before South Africa did, they both play finals on the same day. How often do we see such great camaraderie between teams! These are the little things that we need to celebrate.
I understand the excitement, Mufa, but today is not the biggest day, not by a long shot. One could argue that the 1983 World Cup final was a much bigger day. After all, the longest day of the year falls on June 21st, and the 1983 final took place on June 25th.
THE BIGGEST DAY IS HERE…..!!!!
India Vs Australia in front of 1,30,000 people, PM of both countries, numerous celebrities - 19th November will be written in history. The World Cup Final day, all the best team India….!!!! 🇮🇳
One of the fascinating aspects of cricket is the sheer number of possibilities it presents which otherwise is not possible. The sport allows India to travel to Delhi even though we all know that Delhi is inside India. Got to love the sport
It has just started drizzling, but it's unlikely to affect the start of the game between India and Pakistan because the match is in Colombo, the drizzle is in Hyderabad.
Let’s not be too harsh on Rahane. He should consider himself unlucky today. He played for the spin, trusting the skill of the bowler, but bowler let him down by not spinning it.
The game can be cruel sometimes.
If India can rest their hopes on AFG and succeed, fans should remember that AFG too can rest their hopes on Namibia and succeed. Cricket is all about possibilities, and we are just blessed to be part of it.
Since many are asking who will open with Rohit Sharma in the T20 series, I think if the team management want a right-hander, they will go with KL Rahul, if they want a left-hander, they will go with Shikar Dhawan, unless of course KL Rahul offers to play left handed....
To secure a draw, it is not enough for England to bat the whole day. They need to bat a bit into the night too. That’s what you get with a day-night test match.
Unfortunately, it’s a T20 WC and not ‘How many can you get in last 4 overs’ WC. If it was the later, India would have won by 58 runs. Mind you, Indian bowlers didn’t let England batters score even a single run in the final four overs.
The big contest was going to be the best death bowling side versus the best finishing side with the bat. Round One to India on that front. 58 from the last 4, 88 from the last 7.
Got to love New Zealand. They just move along. Unlike India, which stayed back in the hotel upon realizing Gill was unfit. Or did they? Oh dear, are we onto something here?
Got to love New Zealand. They just move along. No Williamson, okay, no Lockie, cool, no Southee, so be it. Take what you have and see if you can win with it.
Personally, after a very odd 2021, 2022 has been a very even year for me. However, 2023 will again be an odd one. It is a reminder that we can’t escape the cycle of Math, have to accept and move on. Such is life.
Many are wondering why strong teams like England and South Africa lost their matches to relatively inexperienced sides like Afghanistan and the Netherlands. A possible explanation...
Just to clarify, Virat & AB are not really brothers because their parents are 4 different people. It's more of a personal bond rather than a blood relation. Important to note.
Even though it is termed 3rd place playoff, the match also helps determine who secures 4th place. One of those little things that makes this game beautiful.
Here unchanged doesn’t mean that they play with the same clothes as the last game. Perhaps a couple of players might still do that, but that’s not what it means. Let’s be respectful.
Very excited about
#FIFAWorldCup
. I think the tournament will get interesting once it reaches the QF stage because the winners of QF will go through to the semis.
I didn't think I would say this but Pakistan's bowling has been insipid; like it has been defanged. Not one bowler had any bite to him. And the team will be the first to admit the fielding was embarrassing. I have rarely, if ever, seen Pakistan's bowling as ineffective.
If there's any team that can beat this Indian team today, it's got to be England. Because India vs England is the only World Cup match scheduled today.
