Official ICC 2015 CWC thread

Dhoni is amazing, truly truly great. he is the best ever ODI batsman, he will win this for India.

Does it suit SA from a playoff perspective to win the pool?

I still believe pool A is likely to be NZ, Aus, SL, England... So either SL or England the quarters?! Neither here nor there. SL in Sydney would be sweet.

Edit: we would want to avoid NZ and Aus at all costs though. In quarters.

I don't think it matters who we play in the QFs to be honest. Proteas are perfectly capable of beating anyone. The problm is that I don't think on the day we can do it.

Just look at how ALL the teams have managed to show some fight at some point in this tournament. We haven't shown it in the pools so far, and I don't think we will show it when the pressure comes.

ZIM showed fight against us, while we failed to show fight against IND. It was too easy against WI&IRE. So I'm hoping PAK gets one over us so we can wake up against SL.
 
Ashwin, what can I say about this magnificent cricketer. another quality player. he will take India Home.

Game over. Dhoni is one of the most accomplished finishers in the game. It's okay though. Aus must just win their last 2 games and we will avoid playing them in the quarters.

There's quite a few players saying goodbye to cricket and all of them want to leave a lasting impression (Afridi, Dhoni, Misbah, Mahela, Dilshan, Sanga etc). Dhoni's one of them so he won't mess things up easily! I reckon if Steyn already had 200 wicekts he'd be saying bye too.
 
I must depart my desk before Sandton traffic holds me for the night. Go Windies. Go boys!

I would count being 80-odd/4 and getting to 339/4 showing some fight.
 
Similarly, losing Amla and Du Plessis in the same over against the WI...still brave enough to put the foot down and transfer pressure to the bowling team (Rossouw / De Villiers).
 
Bizarre captaincy by Holder.
Windies need wickets and he brings on Samuels and Dwayne Smith to bowl.
 
Someone agrees

46 extras in this game so far !!!! West Indies must bowl Jerome Taylor NOW if they are a chance to win, not spin...

I see I'm not the only one with a low regard for AB's captaincy ... which is ordinary&really disappointing :D

Besides @MClarke23 Brendan Mcullum & Dhoni the Captaincy in this World Cup has been ordinary & really disappointing.....
