  • Cricket World Cup predictions

    I predict Australia won't make the semis.

    Marsh will fold under pressure.

    Warner will fail more often than he succeeds.

    Smith will score runs but his S/R will be about 70-80.

    Laubuschagne won't do much.

    Maxwell will average about 10 with a 100%+ S/R but he won't take over a match during the final overs.

    Starc will go for lots of runs and won't take many wickets.

    Pat Cummins can't captain and will fail miserably.

    1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
    1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

    You know in a strange way I really enjoy your pessimism on all things sport I cant wait till next year to hear your fortnightly tips of us being beaten by 30
    When you trust your television
    what you get is what you got
    Cause when they own the information
    they can bend it all they want

      It's infectious isn't it?

      Imagine my horror as I scrolled the sports channels this afternoon and landed on men's bloody netball!!!!

        Is there anything you think the Aussies will do well at? Maybe win a game. Score some runs? Take some wickets?

          Oh, they'll be competitive for large chunks of the game, but the bowling attack is ordinary and the batting line up is unreliable.

            I find Maxwell frustrating. So much talent but hasn’t really maximised his potential.

              I knew there was a reason apart from all those good looking women in next to nothing why I sat on the beach this afternoon as opposed to watching tv Things are going really well SA 2-189 33.2 overs

                Frankly, I don't even know why Pat Cummins is in the side.

                  Maxwell is incredibly frustrating.

                  Promises so much, but delivers so little. Same with Stoinis to a lesser extent.

                    And Cummins is going for about 8 an over.

                      Maxwell just got his second wicket 3-197 34.5 overs

                          Biggest problem is captain Greta, woke wanka. Never thought we would go lower than Tim Payne then next up is this virtue signaling clown.

                          He is a bowler, lower order batter only.

                          The other issue is spin in India...when your best spinner is Maxwell then there are issues. Zampa is bog average..woke too.

                          Not many good batters playing against spin either.

                          We will be 0-2 down and missing the semi's.

                            I might have to revise my prediction by the time the game is played.

                              This is the cricket thread. With all due respect Rocky can we please leave a few threads politics free.
