[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[Audax]

If Sri Lanka lose this, they cease to be a real threat. They'd be 2 points behind us with 2 games to play, regardless of them we HAVE to win at least one, and they wouldn't catch up on NRR even if they won both their remaining games.

Sri Lanka are effectively OUT if they lose this game.

Absolutely. That's why I said "before today" and "if they do steal a win" (which was in reference to today's match, although I didn't spell it out).

From here, Pakistan #1 threat and Bangladesh #2 threat.

I might well proved to be wrong... but peaked too early ?

England have been playing outstanding 50 over cricket for 18 months now.

Until the world cup started?

SA did us a big favour yesterday, but we will blow it if we bat second in any of the last 2 games.

Pakistan play Afghanistan and Bangladesh. They will win both - so England need to win both

Just can’t see is beating India

Morning everybody:

Two good ones today.

Early game is Pakistan vs. Afghanistan. I know which Stan I will be rooting for.

Later game is Convicts vs New Zealand. Again I know who I will be rooting for. Hope Smith and Warner are soundly BOOED at any possible opportunity.

I'll do my best. I've been to most of the Blackcaps games so far, this one is the biggie.

Good man, in other news Afghans scoring OK but losing wickets 46-2 after 10

Hooligans at Headingley as reports of clashes outside the ground and also in stands with some fans evicted.

Time for a clampdown and no bottle tops allowed in and no drinks in sight of the pitch

I think folks may be missing the best game of all here.

An Afghan victory, if it happens, is worth a point to England.

Khawaja bowled
Strac bowled
Behrendorff plumbest of plumb LBW

Why is Gulbadin bowling himself ?

How to throw an historic victory.

What an idiot.

He’s given it away FFS!

Full tosses in a game like that. Utterly shameful.

Little bit of handbags and LUZZING. It is LEEDS after all.

Gulbadin is a pie chucker

 

[Billy Seagull]

Utterly rancid that from Afghanistan.

 

[vegster]

Looks like we have to win our last two matches or achieve heroic failure as usual.

More to the point he might be a game chucker (if not in a corrupt way).
