    Will we be eliminated if there is no play today ?

    If Sri Lanka win tomorrow, yes.
    Better start praying then.

  • Australia need to narrowly win tomorrow if there is no play today, if they win by a lot then their net run rate can increase beyond ours, leaving them to go through. I'm not sure of the precise numbers though.

    A lot of things need to go our way if there is no play, our best bet is to hope the weather gets better and we can at least 20 overs each in. I can't even see The Aussies winning anyway, if they do it will be a travesty that there squad gets to the semis infront of ours and Sri Lankas, worrying!

    Not the best of adverts for cricket in Cardiff - think each match has been rain affected...

    Unless it rains again should get 24 overs a side starting at 3.45. We are batting first and need to put in a score as NZ will have the advantage if it rains again and they get a DL score. I wonder if we'll rearrange our batting order. We are hardly set up for what is essentially a T20

    That wicket was too easy for NZ
  • Been an entertaining shortened innings. Think the score is slightly above par and a lot of luck so far

    If last pair push to 180 + game on

    Usual shocking mid-order batting, feel we are throwing it away.

    All out 169....................7 wickets in 6 overs. wtf
  • New Zealands for the taking. The likes of Guptill Taylor McCullum Franklin will have their eye on the short boundary. 170 to win at least 10 under par in my opinion. We will have to put on a sterling show with the ball.

    Feel we could be a bit short...

    Collapsed again.

    Mind you we have the bowlers to win.

    McCullum out. It's now England vs the weather. If the match is abandoned we are out... Need to get to 20 overs, and a bit of rain starting

    62-5..........................hopefully rain should hold off. Might be worth throwing a couple of quick root overs in.

    The required run-rate is up to nearly 11 an over now...

    Looks like we'll be playing South Africa.

    Can't see us winning but reaching the semi was good enough.

    Good game to watch. Outstanding with the ball. Need to win the group or we'll get mullered by India.

    I really don't think we anything to fear from SA if we play to our full potential in all three disciplines.

    Well that's always a big if. SA haven't been too bad considering the names who aren't playing for them.

    ausies need to get to get to sri lankas total of 254 in 29 overs to stay in the tournament. can't see them doing it with Malinga bowling but I admire the fact that they are going for it.

    Maxwell gone... think it's all over. such a shame. ; )
  • I want ausralia to win but nz to go through...dont like SL and I think we have more chance of beating nz if we both get to the final

    I also can't stand sri lanka but that's more to do with their government/army.
    so I'm also hoping Australia can do it in the 50 overs so New Zealand can go through. can't see it happening.

    Heard if the Aussies reach 164 we finish top of the group?

    yep we're top.

    we play south Africa on Wednesday at the oval.

    Australia could do this.................only just over 3 an over, just don't/must not loose any more wickets. Turning into a great finish.
