    Oz winning would give them all three world cups, which would be a good achievement. And piss India right the fuck off.

    India? Just no
    South Africa? No, you can't have both World Cups
    That just leaves the Aussies. Fucking yuck TBH.

    I'm switching it off

    Indian team no problems; their administrators can eat a bag of dicks.

    Look, India's to lose. WHy not, at home, pitches to their favour ... it'd be a choke of all chokes to drop it from here.

    Also, any update on the weather for tonight?

    actually that's the best outcome

    weather washes out the rest of the tournament, it's handed to India with a giant fucking *

    I think the quote went something like "typical stinking fucking hot day here in Bombay"

    Yeah its Eden Gardens but close enough

    Hoping there will be some swing away from de Kock.

    Cricket has to be the best sport for phrasing.

    No boundaries in the first 9 overs?

    It's like a pre millennium match.

    Miller gets his ton on a brilliant shot.

    Has there been a CWC with as many hundreds?

    @NTA Yeah - Zampa not quite carrying the Australian attack, but easily the most effective bowler - until this game.

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/tournament/bowling-best-career-bowling-average/icc-cricket-world-cup-2023-24-15338

    The bowling averages make interesting reading. Six of the top 10 are Indians -with Rohit and Virat rolling their arms over and each grabbing a cheap wicket.

    Shami (with a boost by us) has been sensational. As has Bumrah when you look at his economy rate.

    Zampa and Coetzee the best of the other frontline bowlers - with Mathews, Wasim and Pandya bowling less overs.

    At the other end of the scale, Mark Wood - often billed as the world's fastest - has close to the worst figures of a frontline bowler. Mustifizur and Ravindra (to the extent that he's frontline) battling that out, with almost identical stats - exactly the same number of balls bowled and wickets taken. The Neesh the only guy in the tournament who got his economy rate into double figures!

    Haven't seen anything past the first quarter of the game, but at 174/6 Oz had let SA back in. Would have expected this to be the game for Smith and Marnus to shine.

    Fancy Aus to win this, India top order due a failure, Aus fast bowlers could cause trouble. Smith to come off in the final. Would love to see it
