Haddin played in an era where Aussies routinely and deliberately defined their own “line” regarding spirit of cricket. The “line” was set by them and arbitrarily changed when it suited them. Him talking about spirit or cricket is like Warner, Smith talking about the ball tampering.
alyssa is such a treat to listen to, plus the balance and insight she brings on this is pretty real. they're talking about Aus missing out on planning and leaving out Starc and making it seem like that's the sole reason they lost but she brought up the fact that in today's time, you can't take any team lightly... which is the correct take for that game. they were so unserious in that game
A podcast trying to discuss what went wrong with Aussies in World cup ends up talking about Gulbadin’ hamstring for 90% of the podcast. Australia and Spirit of cricket has always been a match made in heaven as entire planet knows.
I didn't mind the Gulbadin bit. I don't think AFG might have ever thought they might ever be in a situation where they might have to use delay tactics. I mean its hard to imagine that they might have ever had a coaching session on delay tactics. So when the situation arrived, I thought Gulbadin did what came to his mind, which is just funny to me and just shows their passion and desperation to play the semi-final.
The BCCI has not forced anyone to schedule India games in the morning or make sure India played at the same venue whether they topped or qualified second. The ICC did it to make sure their biggest media market got enough value for their money, and I can promise you all the other boards went along. The BCCI gets around 39% of the revenue distributed by the ICC and would comfortably generate much much more than that of ICC's income.
Fixed venues for qualifying teams regardless of position has been around since 1987 and 1992 when Aus and NZ were assured of playing at home wherever they ended in the round robin stage.
someone rightly pointed out that yes, the Gulbadin hamstring stuff was peak theatrics but probably the only thing that came to his mind. like Haddin was saying there are other ways teams stall or bide for time but emotions were high, they were frantic and this is probably what he knew best lol. trust they'll reach your or understand your levels of 'spirit of cricket' soon
how do you prove he did not actually have a muscle cramp.....was Maxwell also just buying himself time in the ODI WC against Afg ...... basically rules for thee but not for me
Agar was the right selection. He was so economical. All those dot balls put the squeeze on. I'd have kept Starc in. rested Hazlewood .. But then, all those dropped catches and bad fielding didnt help either.
It's unfortunate that Warner had to cope with the punishment when the entire Australian team and staff knew about. Entire Cricket Australia should have been punished but ICC don't have the balls to do it.
If Afghanistan is such a strong team and had come so far in the world of cricket in such a short time, then we should support and help them. they deserve to remain in cricket world. without Afghanistan cricket has no taste. I wish Australia will start thinking and change its strategy towards Afghanistan not for Afghanistan but for the fans of Afghanistan cricket.
If india didnt qualify, richest board unable to win trophies and if india qualifies/wins, the entire tournament is made for india😅😂 enough of these jokers, when they ran the world cricket they looted money meant for cricket developement in many african and asians countries and now speak as if true cricket lover😅😂
@@abhishekkumar-kg5rm Not correct wat is said? Go n read n listenn to wat the English ex players, journalists n YT channels are saying about India n throwing all kinds of accusations towards the Indian team. If you don’t know anything wats happening in real world, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
When goras hold on anything start diminishing,he start talking about spirit of cricket, democracy and what not. But when it comes to them, then it's okay to even cheat.
