for sure you know cricket and IND vs PAK relationships way better than me...

 

and I trust you when you explain all those things...

 

but still, in the back of my mind there's always a little voice telling me that IND maybe didn't lose on purpose in a blatant way, but at least they didn't give it all on the court as if it was a semifinal/final match...;)

 

that said, I don't really want to put on a case for this thing...time will tell if this loss will hurt India / Pakistan / both of them or if it won't change anything towards the expected IND vs AUS final showdown...

 

my only expectation is to watch some exciting games in the tournament's Final Four...

I agree with you on the point where you say India didn't give their all. It will be the same as this against anyone as they don't want to do something out of the ordinary and then hurt themselves in important matches like semis. 

Another point we are not addressing is the ground. The pitch was a new one I guess. It had nothing to offer to spinners. It was also on the small side. 

England hit many boundaries yesterday. It is their strength. On the other hand India cannot play like England. India plays a game of keeping the game flowing by taking singles and doubles and then an occasional boundary here & there. The man who could have accelerated in the match was Rohit. He found it very hard yesterday. He was struggling. He scored a century but he was never comfortable. 

I don't think you would say he was playing so badly intentionally.

It was played by British officials in Kabul 180 years ago but, unlike India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, it never was played by the normal Afghan population after the British left.   There's a goo

My dear friend 

I just remembered a news reporter in my regional language reacting to the statement of a former Pakistani cricketer who suggested India would lose all their matches even against Srilanka and Bangladesh just to make sure Pakistan don't qualify.

The reporter told that these beggars are not going to stop their non sense. And if they were so concerned about these things they should have won their own matches. 

The point is fair it is a world cup if you want to win it then win your matches rather than blaming others later.

it took 2 days (because of yesterday's rain), but finally New Zealand did again!

 

huge surprise in Manchester, where India came just short and had all of their batsmen eliminated before reaching the required 240 runs...

 

too many early wickets fallen for the Asians, maybe a slight excess of conservative play in the mid of their offensive innings (especially by Dhoni, a few of his "1" could have been "2") did it for the Kiwis, who are going to play their second consecutive world cup final...

 

we must also say that the last few overs played yesterday when it was already heavily raining favoured the New Zealand's batsmen, who scored a lot of "Fours" thanks to the wet grass...runs that probably would have been less if it was a sunny day (or at least not a rainy one)...

 

by the way, that's how it went...

 

final score, New Zealand (239 / 8 in 50 overs) win by 18 runs over India (221 / all out in 49.3 overs)

after being in danger of missing the semifinals for quite a while during the round robin, England finally not only made it through to the top 4, but today they even upset the reigning champions Australia and so they earned a spot in Sunday's Final...

 

it will be the 4th attempt for them to win the CWC, as they never won their 3 previous finals in which they appeared (1979, 1987, 1992)...

 

Today Australia had a poor day both batting and bowling...and England's victory was never in doubt...

 

In the first inning the Aussies were bowled out in 49 overs, scoring only 223 runs, then England took control of their batting session from the beginning, hitting Fours and Sixes one after the other, meanwhile the Australian bowlers couldn't make any wicket fall...

 

in the end, it was quite a one-sided and disappointing match, with the only positive aspect being the fact that by the end of the week we will have a newcomer in the winners' list of the CWC, as both ENG and NZL have never won the tournament before...

 

final score, England (226 / 2 in 31.2 overs) win by 8 wickets over Australia (223 / all out in 49 overs)

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Simulation

      By avlar · Posted

      I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?

      And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.

      Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.

      If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota?

      Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.

      Russian athletes that have changed nationalities

      By avlar · Posted

      We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.

      AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
