2014 Cricket World Cup - Official Thread

Anyone staying up tonight ?

I watched the first 15 overs or so. BM had one huge over v Malinga. SL really look average so far. On this sort of form NZ could make the final. Nice to see Christchurch with hosting a game after the earthquake.

Aus 342/9 hat trick of wickets last three balls.
Highest ever score against England in world cup cricket

I thought England might limit them to under 300 at the 40th over but Australia just ran away with it.

A hat trick is nice but not so good when the Aussies are already on 340 odd

And when you've conceded over 70 runs.

[dav123a]

Think we will fall 80\100 runs short.

New Zealand have looked good lately. I can only see SA, the Aussies or the Kiwis winning it.

Agreed can't see anyone outside these 3 winning it.

Just got up early to catch the second innings here however it looks like it's going to be a one sided affair. Highly unlikely that England get near this total. Think they'll get bowled out for around 270.

I presume you must be an Aussie supporter. That would be the only reason you'd stay up.

[Mark-C]

Well this is going fairly much in line with my expectations :-(

[BlackLabel]

Terrible batting.

Ditto! Normally our bowling is good while batting goes to pot! Now both are iffy!

[Gandahar]

It's a shame of the dropped catch of Finch when he was on 0. That cost us 135 runs. Luckily out batters, oh, er....

The big match is on tonight though.

[Black can man]

What a catch by Smith there,

Getting rolled over .......again.

Fancy a wager? sadly I think no more than 150

I think you can safely double those numbers.
