It's like England don't even care about their book sales.

If any team can blow it from here it's Sri Lanka but

Nah Lankans going to walk it from here, surely?

Yeah definitely the time and place to be pushing for a quick single.

Is this the worst title defence in the history of sport or just cricket?

 

[MrWoollie]

This is nearly as much fun as watching England lead the Rugby WC semi-final for 78 of 80 minutes, just to choke and lose by a point.

You have no idea how much I am enjoying this.

 

[RookiePick]

Engerland!

I'll get my laughs in now because they will probably still knock Australia over and scupper our chances [emoji88]

Michael Neser returns to Shield clash after mid-match withdrawal for personal reasons

The allrounder flew home to Brisbane and missed the second day's play in Hobart

Cricinfo is telling me Cam Bancroft is bowling. Surely this can’t be true.

They’ve corrected themselves. Crisis averted.

Paris has bowled some real peaches. Hope he can stay healthy this season, especially with Jhye constantly getting hurt.

4/31 off 12. Safe to say he's carrying the attack in this one.

To everyone’s great delight, it seems like NSW are still terrible. All out for 102 against the Vics with 4 ducks. They were actually pretty fortunate to even post that total given that they were 8-54 at one point. Jackson Bird top scored (29) for the Blues.

South Australia still trail by 113 with 4 wickets left. Nice that this match is being played at Adelaide Oval, which usually is pretty favourable for bowlers or at least gives an even contest. Much better than it being played at Karen Rolton Oval.

Bonkers that Kurtis Patterson is getting dropped. It’s like Sheed getting dropped by Simmo

I think Australia didn't get out of the group stage defending a world cup and the tournament was in Australia.
Can't remember what year it was.

The 1992 tournament was in Australia and we failed to make the semis. The format was the same as the current edition. I think we finished 5th.

 

[WCE_phil]

England still have to play India, Australia and Pakistan. 5th is looking very optimistic.
