[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[Yes Chef]

Morning Everybody (in Richie Benaud style)

Afghanistan vs Bangladesh today. Will be more entertaining than watching Seth Efrica I suppose...

On my way to the Rose Bowl right now, looking forward to an EPIC

Looking like a good one brewing up, Bangas 251-5 after 48, a very chaseable score these days...

EDIT: now 261-6 with 9 deliveries left.

The Whigs are 50-1 after 12, not setting the World alight but hanging on in there.

Too bloody right

Bangas walking this one, Shakib an absolute star.

Bangladesh are no longer minnows, reckon they could well turn over any team in World Cricket on their day in T20 or 50 over format.

They are much improved for sure, but are still miles behind the best teams. New Zealand have won the last SIX 50 over games between those teams, for example. Now they are a team who could turn over any team in ODI cricket...

Dear Mother Nature

Thank you for the rainfall of obviously biblical proportions overnight that has flooded Haywards Heath station, preventing all early morning trains to London.

I am now WFH today

Assuming the aforementioned rain doesn't scupper the match

Might be a bit damp, humid and cloudy this morning, good toss to win.

No mention of cricket balls here though.

Comprehensive victory for the tigers in the end. The Afghans have potential, felt sorry for the lad (Shinwari?) marooned on 49* at the end after the number 11 was cleaned up trying to slog, but Bangladesh and their excellent support deserved the result.

[Pevenseagull]

bugger, the cheats have realised that Lyon is better than Zampa

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Jofra given the all clear.

Hopefully will prove an important toss.

Our first Must Win match, this is our World Cup today. I fear we may choke.

I would be confident except for one thing. It's The Aussies

They are off to a pretty good start albeit a bit lucky.
What chances of a 50 + opening partnership for us with Vince opening?

What with the mind games and Australia's bowling attack combined with our ability to choke..... Nah. I fear the game is up for this squad, even Archer looking ordinary today.
