I don’t see a lot of them outside of tournaments, seems they always 1/2 decent players at a tournament but it’s good to see. I want NZ & England to go through from the group so I really hope Ireland can beat Australia. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this aussie team is not as formidable as previous teams. Big question marks over Finch at the moment. Don’t rate Matty Wade at all.

I feel the same. Buttler did okay in the warm-up games but he's no Morgan. England's batting was poor against Afganistan, too. I'm hoping they flip the switch tomorrow.

Obviously I see more of the aussie team than the English so I’m probably going more off names than form with them. Regardless, hope they get up over the Aussies. The Dutch have done okay against India here, couple of moments they could have done better though. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 It's ridiculous how much cricket has been lost during this tournament. Not having any rain days factored in when they knew this was a high probability is stupid. Formby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formby Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Sadly, I think a draw here means England won't qualify. They will have to win big against Sri Lanka and NZ to get the NRR up, which I don't think they will. Australia have Ireland and Afghanistan to play so will get second. NZ will be top.

Obviously can’t control the weather but would have surely thought you’d hedge your bets with 2 games in different cities. There’s another La Niña for us here so we’re expecting a very wet summer again as well. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Great win from SA after the first 7-8 overs didn't think they had done enough when run rate went to 10 an over, then Markram and Miller unleashed great knock from both.

Formby Posted November 1, 2022 Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 Under huge pressure, that was a brilliant win! Curran excellent at the end! Still got work to do against Sri Lanka - no dolly, that - and they'll also have to watch the NRR if Australia thump Afghanistan. But they're still in and that's all that counts.
