I'm on an English based forum and they actually want the afghani's to win to ensure heads will roll. Sad indictment of their plight but you could say not unjustified.

Long may it continue #LOLEngland
England lose and Watson gets a duck, this thread adds 50 pages....

Yawn.

I love cricket and the Aussie Cricket Team, but wake me up when this friggin group stage finally ends.
Indeed, it's been about one or two games too long. The minnows have been exposed more the longer this has gone on (that said, Zimbabwe are batting well in Auckland today).

Why are we bowling first?
There's rain expected, probably to wrap it up quickly and sew up 2nd spot.

Our world cup could be stuffed dew to rain.
Hopefully not, Hobart radar looks iffy though.

At least we've almost knocked them over, D/L won't set us much of a target if they don't bat again, bit like the Poms last night.

A few drops of rain ffs, stay out there you wusses.
Ridiculous, isn't it? :thumbsdown:

What a ridiculous rule re most wins.

Separation should be done by NRR instead of punishing the team unfortunate enough to get caught by rain. And why oh why in this long-winded schedule is there not a provision for spare days?

ICC are a complete joke of an organisation. Absolutely incompetent. Cannot ever get a major event right.

There's only a provision for reserve days in the knockout stage where it matters. Honestly, just looking at the points table here, we're not going to lose 2nd spot regardless since a point will take us even with SL (and ahead of Bangladesh), and we'll have a significantly higher NRR.

This had potential for disaster if Bangladesh rolled NZ yesterday, but thankfully Vettori and Southee got them out of jail. :rainbow:

If we end up on even points with Sri Lanka due to another no result today even with our better NRR apparently they unbelievable will go ahead of us because they have more wins.

Yes we will because in this World Cup most wins is the tiebreaker for points, not NRR.

If Australia get a NR here, and get washed out in a QF with South Africa (including the reserve day), that's the Aussies' tournament over!! :mad:

Who was the f***ing genius who thought that was a good system in a sport where you can have a no result? :thumbsdown:
