    To much hype around his selection in the side but he will learn.

    Or burn out before he gets going!

    I think it'll be close, of course when Eng don't even make it to the WC semis the team may be depleted with half the snowflakes in counselling.

    I watched it up till Root got his Ton and then, even through the run rate was just over 9 an over,
    they were scoring at that.

    A little surprised that they (England) capitulated.

    Lost by uncharacteristically poor fielding.

    What a nightmare Roy had.

    Afghanistan won the Toss and decided to field first @ a gloomy and cool Cardiff.

    Sri Lanka Batting first.

    No TV? ... this link works ... https://en.crictime.com/watch-live-c...treaming-1.htm

    Experts are going Sri Lanka ... I'm backing Afghanistan

    Starts soon.

    Sri-Lanka started off well but they have just lost 5 wickets in no time ...92-0 to 149-6. Afghanistan could pull this one out of the hat...

    Edit

    Rain stops play with S-L 182-8. I hope this match manages some more entertainment before the end of the day.

    India are tough opponents these days.

    Looked at the odds the other day.

    Fuck they are shit.

    If further proof were needed that there is massive educational deficit in the UK...

    SA having to defend 228 is going to be tough.

    NZ have taken a couple of early wickets against Bangladesh...look favourites to win that one

    Bangladesh put a bit of pressure on the Black Caps taking some late wickets, but the boys ran down Bangladesh's 244 with seventeen deliveries left.

    MOTM Ross Taylor with 84.

    ^ The Black Caps look good with a strong batting and bowling lineup.

    Interesting to see who lines up against each other in the semis after the first round has finished.

    Made it yesterday in the end but made a sub 5 RR chase look tough; Guptil & Munro trying to hit the ball out of the park when really they just needs to play 1,2 & 3s and build the pressure on the bowling side, instead both out of 50 odd runs - that wasn't smart cricket and hope they learn from that

    If you were superstitious and Chinese, this would be considered unlucky.

    Australia are 4-44 after 10

    Lots of chin music

    Aussies did really well to get to 288. It may be enough to win, but could be close.

    Windies could not bat as well as they bowled.

    How, on Earth did the Convicts get out of Jail?

    I switched off not long after my post above.

    Switched back on (I was checking up on the Tennis) with about 10 overs to go and surprised to still see that match was on.

    England lost the toss and batting first.

    Off to a solid start.

    0 / 43 off 7 overs, scoring @ 5.87 an over.

    EDIT:- England, after 30 are 1/200 ... which makes them on track for a little over 400!
