OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
LOOK AT THESE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS
PRESS S TO SPIT
>>change the competition format to maximise your chance of getting through
aware me
reminder that india had lost three wickets after 3 overs
The ICC dropped the WC from 14 countries each playing 6 games in the groups to 10 countries playing 9.
This was to ensure that the 'best' teams qualified for the finals. Essentially it fucked over Ireland, Zimbabwe, Scotland and the Netherlands by excluding them and adding extra games ensured there was less 'wildcard' upsets to allow smaller nations to sneak into the finals
Ever since India got knocked out after 3 games in 2007 they've changed the format gradually to make that pretty much impossible
Admittedly it's mostly for money reasons not performance reasons but it's still corruption
It's still not fair
This is actually how indians think. I've spoken to a couple about it and because they literally pay 0 attention to any other sports they have no idea that most sports have world cups in which literally every game is a knockout.
holy fucking kek
I don't watch the ipl but don't tell me there are actual do-overs?
Yep, 1st plays 2nd and 3rd plays 4th in the two semis.
Winner of the first semi goes to the final, but the loser gets a second chance against the winner of the second semi final.
was that Guppy's runout?
ill be honest thats far less retarded than I imagined it to be.
still unnecessary but probably adds a spicy wildcard factor to the ipl
nah it's retarded how some teams have to win three knockout matches and others two to win the title with that format
I don't really think Asians are just phisically weaker, I think they suck at team sports because of cultural reasons
Western Greco/Roman Christian culture is all about competition
yeah what am I saying. its pants on head. ruins the parity value of titles.
>argie chimes in thinking he's white
kek
>have only one sport
The problem is you're assuming that sport is cricket when it's actually street shitting contests
>giving a single fuck about cricket
Even more pathetic than the poo in loos themselves desu
how does that favor india?
We got culturally colonised by the West, we aren't Muslim or Buddhist here m8
Jamaica is 99% black and they are Western, it's not about race
they do this at the olympics for judo. and probably other sports that i don't know about.
india doesn't suck at cricket at all.
shhsssshhhhhh
let the argie think he's white
Why do you think blacks in the Americas are better at sports than blacks in Africa? It's not about skin colour
they're all ~30% white genetics and were selectively bred on slave farms in the virginias as the main export
No one is "genetically pure", Africans are pretty much all mixed race
they have access to first world level training and support.
Jamaica is a first world country now?
What distinguishes a cricketer from a regular person?
Football players have to be bulky and explosive, basketball players need to be tall, soccer players need god tier cardio, what physical attributes does a professional cricketer possess that set him apart from your average Joe?
cricket's a pretty technical game. they're like golfers but more athletic.
Higher IQ I guess? But not nearly as much as other games like chess.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HOW CAN THEY EVER RECOVER
They're just like regular blokes but far more homosexual
Gathering from the thread it seems India is always the favorite. The favorite has a better chance of winning a longer series because math.
>Press S to shit
S
depends on the role
batsmen are generally manlets with varying degrees of muscle
fast bowlers are tall and lean
spin bowlers can be whatever they want to be
Hey anglo bros why don't you guys like baseball? It's pajeet and dune monkey free.
baseball is a low IQ sport that requires brief intermittent levels of concentration and is largely luck based rather than the sustained amount of skill and focus it takes to be a proficient cricketer
If baseball is so low IQ then why do high IQ Japs like it so much while low iq pajeets play cricket?
>baseball is luck based
it's less luck based than paki paddle
it's shit and Americans play it
Japs spend most of their lives working like maniacs at 100% concentration
Why the fuck would their sport of choice be something that also requires that?
Baseball is a relaxing afternoon for them, spend 99% of the time standing around doing fuckall unless you’re the pitcher
>be England
>invent a game
>can't win a single World Cup
Honestly, what do they even have to live for?
>rig the scheduling so that your first match is after everyone else has already played two
This is probably what fucked them. Everyone else was already sharp, while the indians were coming in rusty.
Full of hispanics and blacks mate, that's not any better. Also its just commercialized rounders innit
Indians SEETHING
Cricket already has a very strong anglo bond and ex-empire bond so it's pretty comfy community imo. Indians and other 3rd worlders are memes anyway so it provides unlimited laughs
indians are genetically inferior,
>smell like shit
>look like shit
>shit at sports
why even live india bros?
The Neverlands play cricket?
was this the biggest upset in cricket history
no it doesnt ice hockey is cool
Rounders is gayer than George Michael.
