    Not the best record to be broken...

    ...Australia's heaviest defeat in the World Cup. 177 all out, losing by 134 runs.

    The aussies are in a bit of a mess atm, most of the team is creaking and getting old and the selectors seem hellbent on sticking with them until they are eligible for their pensions.

    Once they go out of this tournament, the Aussies are going to be at a bit of a loss for international sporting competition to watch.

    There's nothing until the Women's Handball championships in November.

    Thank you Harry for your concern but no need to worry your cotton socks for me.

    The Ashes are with us where they belong in Australia which infuriates your unwashed lot.

    Tell me Harry. Would a 50 over win for your lot compensate for the failure to win the Ashes on home soil?

    I doubt it!

    Would winning another world title while the hapless convicts continue to embarrass themselves in every major world sport compensate for being on the wrong end of a lucky draw in the Ashes?

    Yeah.

    Many times over in fact.

    Quite the collapse, they were looking good at the half way stage of their innings.

    This should be pretty easy for India now.

    Well thankfully from having 114 on the board after 17 overs, with no loss of wickets, the Taliban have rather fallen on their pulwars.

    216/6 after 40 overs should mean a total even England can overcome.

    England need 285 to win. That's a reasonable total Afghanistan have managed for England to aim at.
