I quite like the following one. The tone is catchy, words cheeky and the message crystal clear.

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

Finally a good game, SA struggling while chasing but good to see them crossing the line this time, the LBW decision was a bit Harsh for Pakistan though, they should have won.

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

Finally a close match in this world cup and SA kept their nerves on this close contest albeit with a bit of luck. Credit to Pakistan for taking it to this deep. This match ensured that top 4 spot is sealed and only to see how the order would be.

Absolutely, first thriller and we have South Africa in it. I genuinely thought they'll choke. But they prevailed, is this the moment where they shed the choker tag? They are the real deal

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

Finally a contest worthy of a WC. 21 required off 60 balls with 4 wickets to 5 required off 18 balls with 1 wicket remaining. Absolute thriller of a match. Pakistan did almost everything possible to pull it back but SA kept their nerves and after almost throwing it away made it to the finish line

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

Maharaj had showed his batting capabilities versus Netherlands, but the target was too steep. This match showed his maturity and temperament in taking the game to the deep. Pity Pakistan couldn't win it though. Would have made an interesting point table.

It is so annoying to see such genuine dismissals being shown as Umpire's call despite using technology. What is wrong in over turning such decisions?

I assume that like all predictive technology, DRS also calculates a probabilistic score of possible ball trajectories.
When DRS shows the ball to be grazing (not hitting) the stumps, the confidence level in the 'wickets hitting' prediction is low. ie, there is a slightly lower, but likely probability that the ball would not hit the stumps.

In such cases, the decision is in the corridor of uncertainty of the technology, and the review process defers to the wisdom of the on-field umpire.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how DRS actually works.

Outstanding performance by South Africa. Maharaj is Maharaj and coolly and calmly disposed of the chase.

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

SA managed to scrape through with win as they were about to choke. Pakistan did not strategies well to keep the SA in check in the initial overs, they did come back strongly with SA wickets but Markaram had already taken SA to the brink of a victory.

I was surprised at Babar Azam's dismissal which was referred to a caught behind. Neither Shamshi nor wicket keeper were interested. That was pure luck I must say.

Eh, really?? Pathetic performance by both teams. Reckless batting by SA. And poor captaincy by PAK towards the end especially, when they should've attacked more (with slips etc) rather than try to contain runs , bcoz anyway asking rate was way too low and it was wickets remaining that was very scarce.

To make matters worse, some poor umpiring and ICC rules that cost PAK the game.

All in all, a forgettable match. The only thing exposed was chinks in SA's armour, they've been shown to be chokers when chasing.

I see what you're saying. There are model parameters that affect ball tracking and these parameters can be questionable. But yet, once set the same for both teams in a match, it should be agreed as the final word, simply to avoid the subjectivity of human umpires and the discontent that can therefore arise in case of disagreements (like what happened yesterday with Umpire's call).

Just let DRS always have the final word (despite the limitation that sometimes it's prediction may be incorrect, due to model parameters being questionable).

Umpire's call is plain stupid.

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

Aussies thrashing NZ royally after losing the toss. Absolute carnage by Warner and Head. They are getting better and their team composition settling in place after experimenting in the first few matches.

They are the one team to avoid in the CWC knock outs just as SA are better to face in the knock-outs.

Hiya, Hope you are doing good!

It was an excellent and outstanding performance by South Africa.

1. They lost the toss and had to chase which they are not comfortable at all. They are a different beast when batting first.

2. With the ball, SA started exceptionally well. They took wickets and controlled the flow of runs quite beautifully.

3. When Pakistan's middle order order put up the partnership then again SA were excellent in pulling them back. At one stage it appeared that Pakistan were all on their way to 300. However SA bowled them out in 47 overs. Pakistan were not allowed to bat 50 overs. Again brilliant effort to do this.

4. While chasing SAs batsmen started quite decently and always kept the require run rate under check even though wickets were falling. In fact even Makram got out as he wanted to be ahead of the game and not chasing the game. Quite a sound strategy in my opinion.

5. Finally when SA were 9 wickets down, everyone thought that Pakistan will win the game. But it was a cool and calculated partnership between their no #9 & no #11. Yes, you read that right - it was between their #9 & #11. There was no top order batsman guiding the no #11 but a number #9 guiding the no #11 .

6. You know what was brilliant about the last wicket partnership. They coolly blocked the pace bowlers and took the game deep. They knew that there was no option but the last three overs had to be bowled by Pakistan's spinners. Think of this calculation in the heat of the battle. As soon as the spinner came Maharaj became Maharaj .

7. And finally all of these happened in Chennai which is the least favorable venue for SA considering the conditions and the pitch. SAs pace bowlers were not in equation at all. SA's batsmen as well prefer the ball coming nicely onto the pitch i.e. a Wankhede type pitch and not a Chennai type ones.

8. SA's spin attack is considerably weaker than their pace attack. But in fact Shamsi out bowled the Pakistan spinners and created a wreck by taking 4 wickets.

9. SA were missing their premier pace bowler - Kagiso Rabada.

All in all an outstanding performance considering that everything was against them - the pitch, the toss and the loss of their strike bowler.
