[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[Originunknown]

Very tidy fielding from this England side.

Afghanistan very poor at the bat however..

England 76-0 after 7 overs, chasing 161.

I'd have them as slight favourites.

 

[Badger]

77-1

I'm claiming that.

Time to bounce this thread as the Warm-up games come to an end. West Indies vs New Zealand on at present, the Windies put in!

Chris Gayle doing his usual don't want to run stuff, 28 of his 30 runs are boundaries!

Sorry if dumb question but why is it one group of ten rather than two groups of 5? Wasn't it two groups in previous WCs?

Because the ICC are bunch of incompetents, they make FIFA look good!

Back to the warm-ups, looks like West Indies could get 400... Presume short Bristol Boundaries are helping.

Not saying there's some big hitting going on in Bristol but...

I fancy New Zealand to have a very good tournament with so many players in peak form. They're around 10/1.

Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill, Trent Boult, Tim Southee amongst others. They look a very dangerous team.

England will blow it just like in 1999 when we went out in the group phase whilst staging it.

Bring it on. What a summer - a World Cup and the Ashes.

Australia,with NZ to win outright.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Pakistan currently 75-5

The decision not to have 2 games a day is bizarre

****** WC 2019 Pakistan v West Indies *****

Pakistan struggling a bit here

75-5

The Windies look a bit useful - there's some serious pace here. Russell was looking unplayable

6 down... all over before it's started.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This is a disaster for the organisers, you will have a game over by 3 at this rate.

Shall I merge this into here...

We aren't going to have a thread for all 48 matches, are we ??

And now it's 7 down

 

[Titanic]

They don't like it up 'em

81-8

 

[Titanic]

W.1 | 11.W1. | W1.1.W

Spineless capitulation.

W.1 | 11.W1. | W1.1.W

Spineless capitulation.

Bringing back good memories of England Teams gone by. Also a throw back to when the West Indies were bloody brilliant!

 

[Titanic]

9 down... another short ball... poorly played.

83-9

 

[pasty]

100 up for Pakistan

For 9 wickets
