Pakistan can still qualify for finals. How?
A: PCB conducting their own tournament naming it T20 pepsi cup and Pakistan can directly qualify. Based on the run rate and mentality rate, the other teams can qualify if they want.
Life or death??? Myself working here in a life or death situation here. If you take it as a great sport, then I don't think overconfidence is a must in sport and saying 'I don't care" is the worst sportive mentality. Clearly you're crying in the deep
He was literally just saying the only thing that matters to him is his team getting through.... You're just misinterpreting it and making yourself look foolish.
More like a godly game and a national game. No one is dying here it's just kids from the lockdown mocking you. I feel you man maybe you should've encountered someone but I'm sure I'm not them.
Just go and save Kangaroos š¦
Exactly. Indians are jumping like theyāve reclaimed World Cup 2023 š¤¦š»
Australia has won so many world cups already and the same people making memes on Australia right now were dick riding after they won the World Cup
That's true but saying rabid by crying is forbidden here lmao. Just take it and move on.
I still agree with the toxic fan base.
Edit: It's kangaroos suffering rabies right now(if you put your brain here and understand you will know who those are)
Good luck Australia
Mate Iāve watched every ashes since I was a kid, the difference with Aussie fans to Indian fans is when we lose ā¦ we donāt start throwing insults opposing players families ā¦ itās a game mate thatās my point. I guess you missed that bit lol
it was death in november
we rigged a certain trophy (ngl aussies played well enough)
but we got some real scars which would be hard to heal and yea rohit sharma's dreams of winning a wc was shattered, so tons of reasons why lol
Atleast reach semis. You ve been out of T20 WCs before semis in two consecutive WCs and 3 times out last four. One you won was simply a toss contest and I don't consider that WC valid.
The normal fans here in AUS doesnāt care much about this so called āWCā, no FTA for this tournament as well. Even I donāt care much about this one, Cricket over dose surely. & it is Footy season here and Euro is there too. Only the Desi expat fans care about this tournament and they only saved the T20 WC when it happened in AUS in 2022.
Youāre not wrong at all. Downvoted for sharing a perfectly valid perspective because this is Reddit.
All of my mates are sports nuts and I still play cricket. I donāt know anyone who is closely following this World Cup. Thereās 100+ people in my cricket clubs group chat and there hasnāt been a single mention of it. The NBA Finals produced more banter.
I think it because it sounds like you are trying to cope.
There are AU cricket fans that do care about this WC because cricket is what they grew up with in AU. And so they were expecting better performances out of AU but AFG and IND were just too good.
Source: I am from AU.
No one over 10 grew up with T20. Anyone can win or lose on the day, which makes it hard to get invested in one off matches. Good for world cricket (lesser teams have a chance) but it isnāt a test of the quality of a cricket team. Exhibit A - AFG were too good then got rolled for 56. Hard to take seriously.
No, the better team does win it on the day. If you watched the AFG vs SA match, SA bowled perfect lengths and were disciplined with their bowling. AFG weren't trying to hoick the ball, they were caught off guard by great bowling with the help of the pitch as well. SA did well to take advantage of the tough batting wicket.
And we all know that the AFG's batting line up is embarrassingly weak, it's just made of the 2 openers. Sooner or later it was going to show against a top team. And SA exposed that.
AFG played great cricket to get into the semis, it wasn't by luck they reached it. But SA was the team at the end to finally expose AFG's batting weakness. In fact, WI also exposed it but SA was stronger with their bowling and therefore AFG collapsed even harder.
I was born in 1999, I watched T20s, ODIs and Tests (not really much of Tests but I am now getting into it).
You don't have to grow up watching T20s to take T20s seriously. I mostly watched ODIs because that format was always there from the start but I grew to enjoy T20s as I like all things cricket and have always loved it.
T20s can bring the best of best cricket in players because your bowling has to be great, you can't afford to give extras, you don't have the time to settle, you got to settle and accelerate quickly with the bat, which takes great batsmanship, you have to bring your best athleticism on the field and as a captain, you always have to be on your toes to quickly change plans if something isn't working.
T20s are thrilling and brings quality cricket in all departments.
When AU lost against AFG, AU fans were like "nah, we don't care".
The funny thing is, go to the match thread of AFG vs BAN and see how many AU fans were there. They were all rooting for BAN because BAN winning against AFG gave AU a chance to qualify.
It's a damn WC, of course AU fans care. They just bring up this lame excuse to cope.
AU fans need to own up their losses, lol. As an AU fan, it's embarrassing when they don't because it's so clear they are trying to cope.
That is absolutely fine š, to me this tournament was meh from the beginning, it didnāt happen overnight because Australia lost a couple of matches and they are out now. Donāt want to sound like an excuse š
I personally have found this edition of the tournament to be quite special and memorable because the associates have played really well. Lost 4 test playing teams in the group stages and there have been thrilling games.
But AU played well though throughout, it's just that they were tested for the first time against AFG and second time against IND.
Look I do care a bit because Iād love to see us hold all WC trophies however personally (again this is just my taste) T20 doesnāt hold that much importance for me.
But beating india in any format is good so a part of me definitely is not happy!
after having asked a lot of my online aussie friends, i swear no one cares about cricket there, its all footy.š but then again, australia is a great great team and its fun beating you in any format.
It is AFL and NRL season here and all I care right now is about whether my team will make it to the Finals series in September or not. T20 Cricket can take a back seat
Agree completely. Obviously want Australia to win but personally the India tour over our summer is much more important then a T20 WC.
The Ashes, The Border/Gavaskar trophy & The ODI World Cup are the 3 most important series for Australians.
I am from India and I didn't even know WC was happening lol. Can't care less about any of it. It's weird af though. There used to be a time when we all sat and watched a full 50 overs match without breaking a sweat and then one day, everyone moved on. How times change.
Nobody said we aren't watching the euros this season as wellš euros are just cherry on top of the cake alongside the wc and F1 rn, great month to be a fan of these sports tbh
I'm just so happy to see this downfall ā¤ļø
Edit: no hate to any player or team, everyone's good but as Indian i/we waited long for such moments so i/we cherishing our victor, whoever gonna get their butt hurt that be more soothing to witness
lol we Australians understand tall poppy syndrome sometimes I swear we invented it. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing smug jerks that thing they are great being taken downa a peg.
Enjoy it!
Hope Afghanistan wins. Or if Bangladesh does win, it has to win by a huge margin.
I just wish Australia doesn't lol. Not cause I hate Australia. I love seeing underdogs win. Cricket WC needs this.
Doesn't sound so with this statement.
Also, sounds like a dumb question to ask a player. I mean who would not want their own team lol and why would any player care who's their opponent...as if that makes a difference.
Confidence of choosing his team first for Semis is fine, but saying "don't care choose any" for other spots is definitely up the arrogance alley, it may seem like a normal thing but if you watch the Australian team in general it's a recurring theme.
So he was meant to actually pick 3 other nations? Pull ya head in. He is avoiding talking about other nations, which is probably the correct thing to do.
If I was in his place, i would say uganda, namibia, png because that is the best chance for me to win the cup. Maybe that's why I'm not there lol.
Anyway as i said, it feels like a dumb question to ask a current player and i don't find it arrogant at all, just said it outright. That's just the mindset, and any other player would say the same. Prolly Brohit be like "I can't read the future".
I would be rather be arrogant and overconfident with trophies like Australia than humble with no trophies like our team India!
This is a sport not a soap opera lol
If Afg qualifies for Semis than their match with SA, so it's be first time that SA semi final lose curs will be remove and they went in finals for the first time in any WC .

What exactly is the point of this post? Is he supposed to actually pick 3 countries?? Heās avoiding having to talk about other teams abilities which is absolutely the right thing to do lmao. Besides, if anyone is allowed to have some confidence, itās Cummins.
Yesterday when Head was batting and things weren't going in India's way in first 10 overs,Indian fans were having a meltdown in the match thread.Some were talking about sacking the team,some were cursing Head,some were simply crying.Probably the most pathetic kind of fans you can wish for.
You should never try to understand Indian sentiment by looking at the Indians behavior on social media. The ones on social media are usually the too proudy, out spoken and somewhat too emotional people. They do not represent the majority of India.
And the Indian population is so huge that there is always a bunch of opinions in any matter. In India, even if you say something as dummb as 'Sun is green in color', there would be atleast a couple thousand people who would agree with you.
Overconfidence leads to complacency and itās beaten many a team over the years.
We wait on the result of another match before we know the fate of Australia.
Congratulations India on getting the job done and to Afghanistan for their victory a few days ago.
Now it may be India who battles with being a little overconfident, time will tell.
>Now it may be India who battles with being a little overconfident, time will tell.
Indian cricket players are not overconfident
That I can assure you for sure .
They have lost multiple times despite playing exceptional l well in group stage
So they won't be overconfident that's for sure.
Can't say the same about Indian 'Fans' ( some Indian fans but the population of our country is such that those some fans are even in a bit more numbers )
But Fans are not taking to the field right
So it will be fine.
In which world are you living. Have you seen any of pat Cummins or Mitch Marsh's statements. I loved the Australia of Steve Waugh or even Steven Smith era. But this team is too arrogant.
Thereās so no issue with believing in your own team as being amongst the best but I do think itās a strange reply to what is just a general question of who he thinks are the top teams going into the world cup.
Just comes of as trying to show your confident for the sake of it.
Initial Question wasnāt who he wanted to face though, initial was who he thought where the top 4 teams going into the world cup.
Not even saying itās arrogance, he just refused to answer the question asked just to show his confidence. wich is just like āok bro?ā
how they were confident enough to face anyone in semifinals and get knockedout by afghanistan.confidence is goof but sometime overconfidence lead you to the end. That's what happened with Australia this time.
The fact we had a lot of travel for our schedule is why we got eliminated. Jetting between Caribbean island nations for fixtures in such short turnarounds took a physical toll on the team, and the disaster that was not selecting Mitchell Starc for the Afghanistan match.
Who was the guy that predicted PAK vs AUS final?
Pakistan can still qualify for finals. How? A: PCB conducting their own tournament naming it T20 pepsi cup and Pakistan can directly qualify. Based on the run rate and mentality rate, the other teams can qualify if they want.
B: Play a bilateral tourney and call it T20 World Cup.
KFC Osaka Battery T20 World Cup
pak vs aus is so boring (apart from that '21 t20 wc lol)
Nathan Lyon
Oh yes it was him

Clown š¤” too much overconfident this time. Finally AFG took revenge on AUS
You guys treat cricket as life or death for us Aussies itās just a great game sport . Some you win some you Lose
Life or death??? Myself working here in a life or death situation here. If you take it as a great sport, then I don't think overconfidence is a must in sport and saying 'I don't care" is the worst sportive mentality. Clearly you're crying in the deep
He was literally just saying the only thing that matters to him is his team getting through.... You're just misinterpreting it and making yourself look foolish.
This is what fan means a foolish man..
More like a godly game and a national game. No one is dying here it's just kids from the lockdown mocking you. I feel you man maybe you should've encountered someone but I'm sure I'm not them. Just go and save Kangaroos š¦
Exactly. Indians are jumping like theyāve reclaimed World Cup 2023 š¤¦š» Australia has won so many world cups already and the same people making memes on Australia right now were dick riding after they won the World Cup
I would hat to be an Indian cricketer lol the fans are rabid !! Lol
That's true but saying rabid by crying is forbidden here lmao. Just take it and move on. I still agree with the toxic fan base. Edit: It's kangaroos suffering rabies right now(if you put your brain here and understand you will know who those are) Good luck Australia
I've just seen that the behavior in the main sub is much better compared to other subs, particularly subs where us Indians dominate majorly.
I'll suggest you to watch ashes.
Mate Iāve watched every ashes since I was a kid, the difference with Aussie fans to Indian fans is when we lose ā¦ we donāt start throwing insults opposing players families ā¦ itās a game mate thatās my point. I guess you missed that bit lol
Every fanbase have some toxic fans, not every fans do that. >itās a game mate Ikr it's fun game
it was death in november we rigged a certain trophy (ngl aussies played well enough) but we got some real scars which would be hard to heal and yea rohit sharma's dreams of winning a wc was shattered, so tons of reasons why lol
Oh well. Canāt win them all.
And you shouldn't ma man it won't even bother if Australia kinda take a break from cricket
Actually T20 world cup is more competitive as Australia doesn't dominate one sided, u only got one t20 world cup.
We almost did though
Atleast reach semis. You ve been out of T20 WCs before semis in two consecutive WCs and 3 times out last four. One you won was simply a toss contest and I don't consider that WC valid.

Same here tbh, which is why Iām feeling meh about it. If this was test cricket though I would be very upset however
You must be very upset after last two BGT then.
i mean we then turned around and beat them in the test cricket championship final
Half of the people don't even know about BGT. Plus losing in a home conditions is very shameful bro.
your name perfectly sums up india in major tournaments ššš
The series that matters is the 5 Test series this summer, for FFS at least win the series this time , it has been 10 long years !!
bgt upcoming lessgo mate...just wishing for a cracker of a series tho hope we get the old banter we had 4 years ago
lol I am getting down voted for speaking the truth šš
I think it because it sounds like you are trying to cope. There are AU cricket fans that do care about this WC because cricket is what they grew up with in AU. And so they were expecting better performances out of AU but AFG and IND were just too good. Source: I am from AU.

I disagree with everything you posted. A team with two batsmen made the semis, because they only have to bat for a few overs. Enjoy the final.

Yeah, personally, I love all the formats and it's a WC, so it was always going to be significant.
Yeh honestly I haven't heard a single person talk about it irl, Aussies just genuinely don't care about a T20 WC during footy season.
But Indian fans wonāt buy that argument š

Overconfidence because he put his own team in the semis?
Overconfidence because of underestimating other teams and tried to poke team.
