  • Not Australia's pitch this. Their seamers are dangerous but this is a slow pitch and they don't have the spinners or variations for it. 
  • Few better sights in cricket than watching the Aussies getting battered.

    One of the few occasions I find myself liking the Indian cricket team (much as I admire many of their players)!
  • 352-5. Going to be tough to chase this down.
  • Warner looks even more punchable with that daft beard
  • Cmon Aus - oops did I really say that.
  • just cant stand that Indian smugness
  • Few better sights in cricket than watching the Aussies getting battered. 
    Said it before and I’ll say it again.
    Would much rather the Aussies win than the Indians.
    So many Indian cricket fans, writers and some players/ex-players talk about the game as if they fecking own it.
    They’re blinkered, patronising, dismissive and obnoxious - but only about cricket. Talk to an Indian about anything else and they’re engaging and quite lovely.

    Unlike the Aussies then? ;)
  • Mini collapse for the Aussies. Smith, stoinis and Maxwell all out haahahhaaa

  • Bumrah is bizarre. How can you bowl that quick off that shitty run up?
  • 278-6    44.1

    75 off 35 needed
  • 283-7   44.5
  • Good
  • Weird how Warner was the slowest of the Aussie batsmen

    Haha! You make a good point, but the difference is that Anglo/Aussie ribbing is exactly that - ribbing.
    The English and the Aussies have historically demonstrated a large amount of gloating, whinging, pettiness, rule-breaking (or, at least, rule-bending), anger, accusations, complaints, personal attacks and so on. However, whether we’re talking cricket, rugby or anything else, and when the heat of the moment has cooled and time to reflect has been taken, there’s always an underlying respect and sense of humour.
    The Indians demonstrate all of these worst characteristics and more, but there’s no humour, no respect. They mean it and they don’t see anything wrong with that.

  • If England are to win the WC then we probably need to beat one or both of these teams.
    I would say India are our biggest threat and then Australia.

    PS Zampa is not very good & it's little things like this that can make the difference
    After watching today's game I stick by this.
  • Why has the ball hit the stumps 5 times in this WC yet the bails don't fall off ?
    Is this to make sure it's a run feast ?
    Hard enough being a bowler in one day cricket without the bails being glued on.

    have only seen 2 of them, but on one occasion it was the barest of touches on leg stump, and the other was a clip on the very base of the leg stump - on both occasions I can fully understand the bails not moving.

  • WI v SA today - a must-win for both teams - especially SA
  • Weird how Warner was the slowest of the Aussie batsmen

    They gave him no width or length - showed how England should bowl to him.
    With both  him and Smith, Archer should try to pin them back with short stuff, and then straight and full.

    Looking at the forecast I'm sure it'll be rained off,  so 1 point each

    The BBC have an article on this. I love the response in one tweet about David Warner

    First sandpaper, now wood glue...


  • They should bring back the bowl-off (bowl-out?) for rained-off matches. If the batsmen feel left-out, just have a net and award the game to the team that looked more in nick 
  • The game has actually started! I wonder how many balls will be bowled. I reckon maybe 15
  • If DRS didn't exist, that would be the worst umpiring decision of all time, more or less
  • A year ago June was baking hot and bone dry!
  • Amla's career winding down somewhat painfully. What a good player he once was
  • Markram off the mark with a shot that screams 'why did you idiots drop me'
