England is really pathetic in literally everything this WC2023 in team
selections, tactics, motivation etc.

Root was woefully out of form almost this whole series and LOW on
CONFIDENCE too.

So, WHY didn't England try Moeen Ali as a pinch hitter at #3?

England has nothing to lose anyway.

When things are NOT going your way for a long time, you are supposed to
TRY different tactics.

Probably their best performance of the tournament today, but of course
that's not saying much. Root and Buttler are still desperately out of
form, though, which leaves a big hole in the hear of their batting.

Zampa was brilliant with the ball, and also his innings was crucial in
boosting Australia's total from a likely 250-odd all out - which
|England would probably have chased down - up to 286.

If England beat NL, whether or not they also beat Pakistan, India may
well be in a position to eliminate England from the Champions Trophy by
losing to NL in the final league match ...

India will NEVER throw the match to NL just to get England out of
Champions trophy.

Zero percent odds of that happening.

Entire cricket world including Indian fans will HATE India if they do it.

I really can't see that happening. I imagine that India will rest
several of their top players, but any XI they put out should beat NL
comfortably.

Meanwhile SA gave a good impersonation of England today. Very
surprising, given how good they've been up till now (apart from the NL
match, of course).

SA had a bad day coupled with the pitch slowing down more when they
chased which is NOT their forte.

If you noticed, Rohit/Gill exploded in the first six overs and took
Ngidi and Jansen to cleaners.

Once Rohit and Gill got out, Kohli and Iyer soaked up the pressure when
Maharaj and Rabada bowled and then moderately accelerated again against
Shamsi, Jansen and Ngidi in the middle overs.

They were PATIENT and paced their innings well which SA failed to do.

QDK's law of averages failure today negatively affected SA big time and
coupled with Markram, Dussen, Klaasen and Miller's RARE failure finished
their chase before it started.

People are calling this team an Indian juggernaut BUT I think it's pure
EXAGGERATION.

So, now barring total failure by NZ in their SL game or Pakis beating
England by 130+ runs to overtake NZ NRR, it will be India vs NZ and Aus
vs SA in the Semis like I said more than a week ago.

had to laugh when Root said he wouldnt swap one player in this England side from the Oz side.
Enjoyed Bairstow getting a duck but I guess in his mind it was a "cheater's" catch :-)

Australia beating England is the biggest rivalry in cricket and maybe in any sport as its been going on for
way over a 100 years. Pakistan and India is a religious based Country "hate" and not a sporting rivalry at all.

Now we can stop worrying about the WC and start preparing for the next Ashes in Australia. I think this will be the
hottest ticket in town and the Australian crowds will be ready to serve it up to the Poms.......and the Poms just want to
beat Oz in Oz and get those Ashes back.

Not many cricket fans outside Aus and England watch Ashes.

The MOST WATCHED sports event in history is India vs Pakistan.

HOW DOES it matter if it is based on religion?

To begin with, it's the EVIL Western White filth who are RESPONSIBLE for
the DIVISION of India into India and Pakistan based on religion,
responsible for NORMALIZING barbaric genocidal religious conversions by
the filthy proselytizing abrahamics, responsible for PLUNDER, GENOCIDES
and RACIAL HATRED of POC for the last 500 years and NEVER PAYING for
even a SINGLE fucking crime.

So SHOVE IT.
