2019 Cricket ODI WC

Great to see two Aussies run out within the space of a couple of overs. Still I suspect the 337 for 7 will probably be the best part of about 100 runs too many for Sri Lanka to chase down.

Decent win after a good start from Sri Lanka. Kind of bummed for their skipper going on 97 but glad we stopped him - he's the spine and most of the functioning organs for the Lanks

Aus played it right. Solid start to ensure they get 280+ (which is generally too many for the Lankans) and then have a go later in the innings. 320 was always too many.

As I said with the Black Caps win though, can't read too much into it. This is a very poor Sri Lankan side, they'll struggle to win another game from here.

There are a billion people praying that the rain holds off in Manchester.

India Vs Pakistan Vs the Rain in Manchester today.

Looks like the rain will make a significant appearance in the afternoon:

Mohammad Amir has already been warned twice for running on the pitch. Oddly, it's mainly 3-4 steps after his delivery stride where he seemed to keep jogging down the middle of the pitch.

Pakistan badly need a wicket.

@hydro11 help if they stopped chucking pies

Rohit going gangbusters. Kohli can ease his way into this and then 400 is on the cards with a flourish in the last ten

[booboo]

Sharma effs up. 230 plus for 2 now. 38 overs

Yeah, that's a challenging wank for him alright.

Well the Bangles have done it, quite comfortably in the end with the second highest CWC run chase in history. Looks like the Windies are gooooneeee.

Kinda feels now like we're not even at this WC as it's been so long since we played. Somehow we're still in the top 4 and if anything, our chances of remaining there have strengthened during our absence from the competititon, due to other results. We don't have any entries on the leading run scorers or wicket takers leaderboards now either. Looking forward to hopefully getting some good results in our next three games vs SA, WI and Pakistan, knocking them all out in the process.

That would do exactly that......but in saying that do SA even have a mathematical chance of making it after the start they've had ?
