[Cataholic]

Who out of them 3 not playing?

Steyn is out of the Cup.

 

[smasha]

I think we’d all love the Windies win it if Australia don’t but cmon Aussie cmon!

Cmon Saffies tonight!

 

[swanssince2002]

You know if the Windies win the cricket worls is gonna talk about the resurgence of the team and how it's gonna be the 80s all over again!

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Ahhh winter cricket season is coming. Just in time to talk about the selections during the Ashes series and how good and bad are the players etc...

After the world cup that is...

meh, likely to be the most underwhelimg WC ever until late in the league stage, without the novelty factor of associates. Talk Ashes all you want.

Only here because Chief invited me personally

[Mr Blicavs]

Theres not to many times in my lifetime Ive ever cheered for the SAFFERS..... the Poms bring out the worst in me

 

[Ant Bear]

Also appreciating the invite, Saffers decimated by Kolpak so I hope they stick it up the Poms.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Chief rallying the troops!

Would be still better than Kane Richardson bowling

 

[footyfan1978]

For the sake of cricket, let's hope that 300 is a struggle.

This indeed. Love to see some bowling friendly conditions from time to time in this World Cup.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Why start on a Thursday at 10.30am? It was a Saturday last time in New Zealand and Australia.

 

[DuckYeah]

Hope the Poms are beaten by 100 or 5 wickets! Rabada to move it half a foot away from leg stump

 

[footyfan1978]

Go Saffers. Choke at back end of tournament. Not the front.

 

[footyfan1978]

My understanding is that wickets in England will have par scores of around 330.

I am thinking even more, but kind of hope I am wrong.

 

[Kirkswan]

Thanks for the invite Chief, but as long as Warner and Smith are playing, I won't be following the cricket.

I still can't believe that Australia has put winning above good sportsmanship!

 

[SilentHunter_]

Chief invited me. I am so flattered tbh. I couldn't reject it.

 

[Daves not here]

Thanks for the reminder Chief, completely forgot it kicked off today

Hope this World Cup is as good as the last.Hosted in AU+NZ.My fondest memories are Brendon McCullum ripping apart the English attack in an early game.Then the way he got out in the final.Such a disappointment for the final at the G.

Crrrrrepp. Now I cornt eeeven give you a porking tikkit...

 

[GROTTO]

No you are correct. I was being conservative. 350 is par score.

To beat the Poms, you really need to be heading towards 400 and need to take early wickets. Even then I have seen them get out of trouble losing 3-4 early wickets. They are that good atm.

 

[corbies]

Steyn is out of the Cup.

They're hopeful he'll be back for game 3.

 

[fairbump_playon]

If only Dennis Cometti was a cricket commentator. Healy, Taylor... buffoons.

Massive pressure on the Poms!

 

[philreich]

A battle between 2 of the great World Cup chokers. I guess the team that chokes less will win.
