They are the one team to avoid in the CWC knock outs just as SA are better to face in the knock-outs.
Seems both saw early morning screening of Pushpa.

So New Zealand might soon be heading to position number 4 that might lead to another Ind VS NZ SF

Very unlike of NZ to drop two catches. Finally Warner goes and NZ holds on to a catch.

The Dharamshala stadium is absolutely breath taking, the drone shots with the snow cladded mountains in background is a sight to behold.

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

Loved the match yesterday. Hardly invested in either of the teams but we were on the edge of our seats and when the winning strike was done, we were on our feet

Really felt Babar should have really set up some attacking fields when pace bowlers were running through. It was not a defendable target when all you needed was one 1 wicket. A batsman with an average of 4.5!

But then what do i know?

What a wonderful start the Aussies have had today

A high 1st innings score (300+) is highly likely to result in a loss for the 2nd innings team but NZ can pull it off if the final total stays somewhere under 400.

Such matches invariably get boring, very fast.

Scoring at 7.78 runs per over is a monumental task which is possible for 20 overs but not for 50 overs.
I’d rather have a 280 match with an even contest.

Agree on the possibility of this being a boring match, I still remember how SA had chased down 434 again against AUS.

March 12, 2006 - Australia 434/4 (50), South Africa 438/9 (49.5) - South Africa won by 1 wicket (with 1 ball remaining)

And that was not a boring match

That's because in those days such matches were anomalies. That's why when that match happened we all were in awe as such thing happened for first time. But nowadays these matches and hitting have become a norm.

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

I hope the Aussies will win the match with the tiniest of margins, so that Pakistan's path to SF will become a little bit harder, but NZ will not lose much ground in terms of NRR.

What an amazing game, WC finally coming alive, NZ almost pulled it off. NZ is just amazing how quietly and confidently they chip on. Brilliant game.

Re: The 2023 Cricket World Cup

Watch out for Rachin Ravindran. Looks like another Kiwi great in the making! Best match of the WC so far. It is now getting interesting.

With Australia winning today, they have added pressure on NZ as they have SL and Pak games in pipeline. Are Poms officially out of the WC?

Mathematically everyone still hangs on, but now for the bottom 6 teams things are not in their own control, they need a lot of other’s matches going their way.

Interestingly Bangladesh would be the first casualty, a lot depends on their veterans Mahamudallah and Mushfiqur.

Edit: oh scratch that, now Mushfiqur also gone.

I believe England has already been the first casualty and today Bangladesh shall be the second confirmed one

It is unlikely that Eng shall win against both - Aus and India

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.
I guess setting those parameters a priori for every match may not be straightforward. The technology itself has to learn for every venue, conditions (temp/humidity/dew/wind), pitch, bounce, bowler, swing/turn off the seam and in the air. Not to talk of how much topspin, speed, angle, area of pitch on impact etc per delivery.

I would not be surprised if DRS starts off with a base dataset for a game, and then is actually fine-tuning the prediction for every ball bowled that misses the bat.

Regardless, with so many variables for a match and for a delivery, it may not be easy to shrink it down to a science. I think where DRS mis-communicates is that it shows a definitive trajectory on the replay, whereas it is a jumble of probabilities in reality.
However, the viewers and fans want certainty, and the fancy animation is certainly good, television friendly drama.
