[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[LamieRobertson]

It seemed we would have India, but given the Saffers are doing a job on Australia at present it will be India/NZ and Australia/England.

In a way who cares, we will have to win two tough games, but if you are not up for whoever you face then you don't deserve to win the competition.

Oz get beaten...so it’s them we have in the SF...might even sound like a home match at Edgbaston this time

So pleased we got the convicts, payback time (he says knowing this is England in a semi final).

Thursday is now bound to be affected by rain, with Australia having the advantage by batting second

Good points, indeed to be the best you have to beat the best........we're ****ed.

U
Have fun and don’t hold back with the Aussie baiting, the cheating twats.

What a great day out. Superb atmosphere at Old Trafford. Some Aussies some South Africans but plenty of England, India, Zimbabwe, etc shirts around.

Best thing being that anyone who wasn't an Aussie was supporting SA.

Superb booing of Smith and Warner. When Davey got his ton everyone was standing up clapping (as you do) but booing at the same time.

"Great knock..... but he's still a T**T" as my mate said.

They are going to get absolute PELTERS during the Ashes. And rightly so.

And just to prove that it doesn't always rain in Manchester.....

As a cricket dad, you learn to trust one weather site only. And it's DEFINITELY not the BBC one, because it's crap.

We bat first, Roy scores at least 60 and we set a target of 330+, win guaranteed.

No world cup cricket today? What to do now?

Yep, the comment was tongue in cheek, women verses girls to use an analogy.

OK time to bounce this I reckon. First Semi-Final India vs New Zealand at Old Trafford.

Personally think India are not all that and that New Zealand are about to come out of their slump.

 

[OzMike]

Would be great if NZ tonk India and we pull one over on the Aussies on Thursday.
Fancy England to win against NZ as long as we bat first and Roy gets to atleast 60 as that seems to be the winning formula.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Can't imagine NZ winning unless India bottle it?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Thick cloud and not too cool. Might well move around a bit.

I have a feeling the conditions may suit NZ today and this will be a tight game ... as seems the case in this tournament, the toss will be crucial.

India are waaaaaaaaay too strong for NZ. The Kiwis have got one world class player, three or four very good ones and some plodders. India have got a couple of world class players and a whole heap of very good ones

India will win by 50 runs or by six wickets
