As the great Mad Titan once said “I am Inevitable” And that is India at the moment as they were ruthless, dominant, excellent on their way to destroying England by 68 runs in the 2nd Semi Final today. England had no answer to the almost perfect India today as they booked themselves a place in another ICC final. My name is Munter and this is the Maximum Cricket Podcast, powered by Dominos. On todays show we discuss the reasons India were too strong for England today Was the deck stacked in favor of India or were they just a superior side? We look back at the last 4 times India have reached an ICC final and rank them from least to worst in terms of choking. We review Englands World Cup campaign while also predicting The Final which India will be heavy favourites yet again for. The thing about India being Thanos and being Inevitable is… Thanos didn't win in the end.... INTRO & England v India Review (00:00) Can India FINALLY win a Final?

Imagine a team defending 115 in a T20 match, captivating the Cricket World. The Super 8s came to an end today in one of the greatest Climaxes in Cricket World Cup History. Australia, after being tipped up by Afghanistan and suffocated by India. Required Bangladesh of all teams to beat Afghanistan. Afghanistan needed to win to qualify and what made this even more interesting, if Bangladesh won by enough they would qualify ahead of Australia and Afghanistan. It had the recipe for chaos and in the end the game was cooked to perfection. This is the Maximum Cricket Podcast, powered by Dominos.

Wowee Afghanistan has made the Super 8s very interesting. After their incredible performance against Australia where now they can beat Bangladesh and make the semis they have blown the Group with Australia and India wide open. So I thought let’s actually have a look at the tables of both groups and see how all 8 teams can still make the semis. (That’s right technically every side can still make it)  This is the Maximum Cricket Podcast powered by Dominos Pizza, my name is Munter.

Kane Williamson has declined a NZ contract and will relinquish the Captaincy for the T20 and One Day side, was the article released today. WHAAAT….. THE….. FUUUUCK Is he retiring?  What is a Central Contract? Why Kane WHY?! He deserves to go out better than a game against PNG!!!! This is The Maximum Cricket Podcast, my name is Munter and I’m joined by Jacko. This is an EMERGENCY PODCAST as we try and make sense of the huge news out of NZ where arguably the greatest cricketer this nation has had, is declining a NZ Contract so he can play overseas when it suits in a nutshell 

Welcome back to a T20 World Cup Wrap Up Show.  India, Australia, and South Africa have cruised through the group stages unscathed.  Afghanistan and the West Indies put the NZ golden Era into retirement England went Minnow Bashing to sneak past Scotland after they were pipped by Australia at the death.  USA got a gift from the weather gods to put Pakistan out of their misery and today Bangladesh took care of Nepal to book the last place in the Super 8s… Who Comes out of the Super 8s?

18 Months Ago, India, England, NZ and Pakistan were rightful semi finalists to the last T20 World Cup in Australia. Fast forward to today and only India has qualified for the Super 8s, NZ has been knocked out by a team that didn’t even qualify for the last 2 World Cups in the West Indies (more on that later don’t you worry). And England and Pakistan are on the brink, relying on USA and Scotland to do them a favor. It’s a changing of the guard for everyone except India, who just keep doing what they do… winning, will they win the big one?

Death… taxes…. And Pakistan losing from a seemingly unloseable position Against USA, they were defending 12 off 3 balls…. They lost Today against India, they were 80/3 off 14 Overs chasing 120…. They only required 40 off 36 Balls That’s a win probability of 93%…. And they lost…. Again The Difference? Jasprit Bumrah bowled that 15th over and changed the game like he so often does 3 runs conceded The Wicket of Rizwan Not only that but In his first spell he picks up Babar In his last over Pakistan needed 21 off 12 Pakistan had a win probability of 64% (a touch generous but that’s neither here nor there 3 runs conceded and a wicket Now Pakistan need 18 off 6 Game Over He is the “Break in case of Emergency” player. You can use him at the start, through the middle and the death, it does not matter. 3 for 14 off his 4. What a player Pakistan had the game under control when India were bowled out for 119. The 4 pronged Seam attack of Amir, Shaheen, Naseem and Rauf took 9 for 94 off 15 overs I did say at the halfway point that 120 would be the highest chase at this ground…(which says more about the ground than anything) But with Pakistans history and Indias attack you knew they would make it hard on Pakistan. They managed to get to 72/2 and 80/3 and really should have won from there. But again…. Jasprit Bumrah was the difference….
