No doubt England will cheat their way to a win against New Zealand again.

if not, claim the moral victory anyway

Yes, and fly back home, after being bundled out in the first round, on the Spirit of Cricket.

Im assuming NZ has a 10-2 record in opening World Cups of the 50 over format?

I remember they opened with Dipak Patel in the 92 World Cup and beat Australia, that's all I got

 

[Gethelred]

Both looking forward to this and not, weirdly. It feels anticlimactic without really any reason for it to feel that way.

 

[Around the Wicket]

The hype around this world cup is at a all time low hey?

 

[010203]

New Zealand won toss and chose to bowl first.

 

[010203]

One day Ravi Shastri will learn that he doesn't need to shout at the toss

 

[010203]

First sighting of Nassers's massive nose of this World Cup in the pre game with Kass Naidoo and Simon Doull.

 

[Jatz]

What is the point of this stadium if no one goes? Yes it’s massive but there’s never anyone in it.

 

[010203]

Every tied match at the World Cup goes to a super over.

 

[Plugger35]

Stokes out is a blow for England, helps to even out us missing Williamson.

New Zealand won toss and chose to bowl first.

Not sure that's the right choice, batting first looked the better option in the warm up games but Buttler said they would have bowled first too

 

[Nicho50]

Terrible crowd by the looks.

 

[Plugger35]

Expected a bigger crowd there but only a match featuring India would go close to filling a stadium as big as this one.

They should get some more of the local Indian fans there later in the evening though.

 

[010203]

If the opening game of this tournament had to be in Ahmedabad, surely India had to be playing. At best, the ground might be 30% full.

 

[010203]

Remember Jonny, stay in your crease until the ball is dead.

 

[Plugger35]

Not a great first over from Boult going for 12 runs, looks like a good batting pitch though so expect it will be a high scoring match.

 

[Plugger35]

This could be close.

Too high.

 

[CakeEater]

No doubt England will cheat their way to a tie against New Zealand again.

Efa

 

[Plugger35]

Much better over from Henry with a maiden, close to picking up a wicket too.

 

[yabsy]

NZ's bowling line up looks a tad thin.

Why isn’t India playing in the first game
