if 350-400 runs target becoming norm then everything is possible. and think what would happen if any team scoring 500 runs in ODI. finger cross if English batsmen come up against any weaker bowling side and every batsmen clicks on the same day then 500 target look easy very much possible target.
After watching the first warm up match India played i thought it is a bowling pitch and they have changed the pitch condition heading into the world cup, but the recent high scores confirmed that the Indian batsmen really played bad to get a below par score against New Zealand, with the batting power house West Indies, England and with Rohit Sharma firing even India can score 400 plus but 500 is an impossible task, if associate member teams were playing we could have seen 500 plus in these pitches  Grin.

For Bold Part
Actually that  Kennington Oval's pitch was seaming wicket in real, at least ball was doing tricks during the first inning. I posted about this yesterday in "World Cup discussion" thread. Quoting my post here to save some time Cheesy



About the Last match between India vs New Zealand

I saw many fans saying that Indian batsmen performed very poorly which is 100% true, but everyone failed to see or avoid to mention that it was seaming-dark green wicket with the cloud over the head during the first inning — best condition for bowlers to bawl. Indian Captain Virat intentionally chose to bat first so that Indian batting can come under the microscope, and in this test, they failed miserably without any doubt. ( here I see Intent and awareness from Virat Kohli. which is a perfect sign for Indian Team)

And if seaming condition comes into play in the World cup, then every team going to struggle like that, not just India. Winning the toss is very important if it happens. And everybody knows, the Indian Bowling attack is no dummy as it used to be in the past.

Rohit Sharma firing? What are you talking about? Rohit has been in poor form recently which we could clearly observe in the IPL and the ongoing warm up matches. Batsmen like MSD, Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are in epic form currently.

If these guys get going, 500 would definitely be on the cards. India also have players like Kohli, Jadeja and Dhawan along with Sharma who can perform well if they manage to retain their form.

India lost the first one warm up game against NZ and ystd NZ lost against WI . Though India came back in yesterday match with a win against Bangladesh and would give them some confidence back as they had lost massively against NZ

Not sure about finalist atm because everything can happen in the Semis. In case India reaches the final, then my bet on India doesn't matter who their opponent is.

 We need more cricket lovers for this board.

Yeah, that's what I keep saying "everyone talking about world cup everywhere except here." that's why I am avoiding Main Cricketing thread. We have 15 participants but still low activity in this thread. regulars like hanebu and pffrt too missing these days, guess everyone waiting for World Cup to start Cheesy


I guess too. After beginning the world cup, I will be active as well here. Had bet long time ago, probably I will start once again with the start of the world cup.

Honestly speaking I am not liking the pitch in UK. These pitches has nothing for the bowlers. If they keep doing everything for the batsmen then some day like someone said, we will not see fast bowlers instead we will see the bowling machine and the captain is selecting in the machine which ball will have which length and line.

The way pitch behaving I am not surprise if kiwis chase down this mammoth total. so far Windies batsmen dominated the game, hands down. now up to their bowlers.

Quote
In the other match, India is in the driving seat now. So far they have scored 340 runs. They still have 9 balls remaining. Dhoni and Rahul was out standing. Both got their century.
 

I didn't expected 350+ runs on board after the slow start but Indian middle order - KL Rahul and Dhoni- stepped out and played beautifully.  pitch is flat but Indian bowlers can defend this target. would like to see good chase from Bangladeshi batsmen tho.

Welcome Vishnu!!



WI managed to score 421 runs and lost all their wickets having 4 balls in hand. It's a massive score. This will be interesting to see the start of New Zealand innings.

Thought about it for a few days and finally I decided to join (can't ignore Royse777, when he is putting so much effort in to this pool). I registered under the name vishnu. Just two more days to go for the first match and guys, and I am really excited about this!!! Can't wait to make my first prediction. Had a good IPL season this year. Hope that I will be lucky with the CWC as well.
Appreciate the thought bud. Good to have you onboard, I have approved you in superbru and added you on the OP. I am sure we will have tons of fun.

Russell and Holder both out, but they can reach 400 easily. only need 17 runs and 4 over left. Russell did play nice cameo in 20-20 style.


Rahul is out as well, he did his job in this match. his 100 can create headache for Team management. my first preference still Vijay Shankar if he's 100% fit. Rahul can open the Inning if needed.

And Russell is going in Russell style LOL
367/6 after 44.1 overs and Russell is betting at 53 runs from only 23 balls, 7 fours and 3 sixes so far. We can expect 400+ runs easily.

In the other game, India recovered the initial damaged. Dhoni is Dhoni and KL Rahul is playing extra ordinary innings. He is proving that he is a fit for 4th position in batting order.

If Andre Russell can continue his IPL form here in this match then they can touch 400 runs. as of now they are looking strong, 39 overs and 294/6. still 11 overs to go.

It's a 50/50 match. Both team are playing good cricket. Watching the match it's hard to say who are the stronger side. I was expecting better from India. Score 139/4 after 28 overs.

Indian top order failed again in this match with rare failure of Virat, he don't usually throw his wicket after good start. Shankar failed as well, Bangladeshi bowlers deserve credit here despite some poor captaincy ( not keeping extra slip in start) they managed to get quick wickets and put pressure on Indian top order.
Surprisingly Rahul playing good lol and now India surely looking at 300 runs mark.

So far unexpected performance from WI. 253/4 after 33.3 over. Hope at 99 runs. The WI team looks better although in pen and papers New Zealand is the better team.

Let's see how these two match progress.

2 Warm up match are in process.

Ind vs Ban

Bangladesh won the toss and choose to bowl. Rain flirting here and there but as of now match is in progress. I am hoping for close to 300 runs on board from Indian team today despite seaming condition during the first Inning. as of now India score is 7/1 in 4.2 overs. Sikhar Dhawan failed again.

Bangladesh made some mistake - seaming condition- and only 1 slip  Huh

Windies vs NZ

Kiwis won the toss and they are bowling. Chris Gayle was looking good but he was trying to hit every ball out of the ground, result he got out despite good start. Lewis looking good and Shai hope playing aggressively. Windies score as of now 96/1 after 11 overs



Edit 1

Bowl stopped moving, should be easy way out for Indian batsmen now, if they can hold their wickets.

34/1 - 10 overs

And we are 14 now! Who else is joining with us?
I will probably join later. I watch cricket no more than matches in between India and other team. In fact, I'm not too much fan of cricket. If only 1 needs to reach 20, I will definitely join.
Good luck to everyone.

Nice!! Participants kept increasing day by day. Considering the fact IPL competition received only 3 participants. Can we make it to 20? Let's see if we take over IPL's thread in terms of activity too lol. I have my doubts in this regard due to only one reason -everyone (including me) talking about World cup everywhere except here- hope I am wrong Smiley
