I guess so, but all tournaments will have that.

How many turned up to Bangladesh vs New Zealand in the last World Cup in England?

Seems like the Australian cricket board already killed ODI cricket.

 

[waspish]

Bit sad this game is over because 192 for this Indian team will be so easy

 

[The Colonel]

If there’s only 20k people turning up in a city of 9 million then it’s beyond shit attendance and is well into the realms of pathetically embarrassing.


So far this World Cup has been a disaster.

Ticket sales were delayed by months, so there’s almost no international fans. Indian fans aren’t turning up probably because of the same ticketing problems. The pitches have been terrible and there’s not been a single close match.

It’s almost as if the BCCI are trying to kill the 50 over game.

It’s packed. Has Swales come back from the dead?

Nasser loves any team to collapse he revels in it

 

[trueblue1972]

He captained a fair few

He was responding to my post about big venues not having many in them so far.

It’s the norm for group stage games outside of England.

The BCCI could have given more tickets away though to boost crowd numbers.

 

[dadnlad]

thats what it might be his chance to take piss back

 

[Corky]

Looked like 300+ and now should be a NC.

 

[jimharri]

Just looked at the Pakistan scorecard. That's a serious collapse; 155/2 to 191 all out. And they didn’t bat out their 50 overs either; over 7 overs short.

I was getting flashbacks of England in the 90's........

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Thinking about epic collapses does anyone else remember the 1993 B&H Cup game between Surrey and Lancashire?

It was shown live on BBC1 and Lancashire crawled to 236. Surrey then got to 212-1 needing 25 to win off the last 6 overs they then proceeded to lose 9 wickets for 18 runs to be all out for 230 and Lancashire winning by 6 runs

 

[waspish]

Need to win these games convincingly get our run rate up

 

[kippaxwarrior]

England have been proper sloppy in the first couple of overs

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Stop. Picking. Woakes. Away. From. Home.

 

[crooky]

Need to win these games convincingly get our run rate up

At this point I'll take any sort of win.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Piss poor from England's bowlers this. Especially Woakes

 

[waspish]

Pathetic bowling! What with starting the bowling with woakes!? His record away from home is shite! Wiley needs to get an opportunity

 

[waspish]

Also what's Buttler thinking bowling first on a pitch like that!? Get a massive score put the pressure on Afghanistan!

 

[discopop]

It looks a great deck to bat on but this attack is pretty average and every armchair pundit knows Woakes isn’t the man for sub continent conditions. It’s to be hoped that the pitch holds up
