[Pavilionaire]

New Zealand are cutting and chipping Wood like a demented beaver.

Looks like they’ve shredded his beef.

This is an absolute tonking so far, bowlers going to all parts, one of the issues for me when you have so many bowlers who can bat a bit is that those types of bowlers can be particularly expensive.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Pitch not been that helpful after the commentators talked up how flat it was. Reckon Rashid could do BITS on it.

Who is this idiot?

 

[Pevenseagull]

I didn't order this.

f*** it, time for a pint before the main event.

2023 Cricket World Cup winner already decided? Apparently the last 5 tournaments have all been won by the side that had the first individual century scored. NZ now have the first two.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Thrashed

Magnificent stadium, both finalists from the last World Cup…and it’s virtually empty!

Not what I expected from a cricket World Cup on India.

30,000 there according to TMS, so equivalent to a full Lords…..

 

[The Wizard]

yikes, that was an absolute fisting.

 

[amexer]

Should not be a problem. Like football tournaments big sides can lose games and still go through to knock outs

 

[A1X]

That might have been the worst game a defending champion has ever played to open their defence across all sport, a genuine thumping

Argentina 1990 WC, and France 2002

Oh dear.

Sad to see the Netherlands stumbling vs Pakistan - from 120/2 to 133/5 chasing 287.

154 required from 140 balls - they might still do it, but it'll be all Bas de Leede if they do - he's 49no off 49 balls so far and also took 4 wickets!

Come on the Dutch!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Will be interesting to see how much the toss affects this South Africa v Sri Lanka match, especially with the underdogs chasing.

 

[CHAPPERS]

This could get ugly.

 

[jrbha]

Delhi is often a run fest. Not over yet by any means. SL need wickets though.

 

[MJsGhost]

Klaasen and Markram well set with 7 overs to go and David Miller next in...

420+?

 

[CHAPPERS]

430? 440?

 

[CHAPPERS]

These chaps are strong

A big win on the face of it, but I've really enjoyed that game. Nice appetiser before India v Australia tomorrow. It'll feel like the tournament has properly arrived once India gets going.
