You want to be positive, but I see us losing to Eng then losing to Oz, end of. Peaked too early!

Did we peak at all?

Squeaked past Bangles, SA, WI
Beat Afghanistan comfortably
Got free point off India due to game abandoned
Spanked by Pakistan and Oz

When you lay it out like that, it doesn't look so good....

[Donsteppa]

We've got this.

Chuck the drinks to Munro, throw the ball to Southee, send Henry on an errand to Land's End, and set several alarms next to Latham's kit bag.

Easy.

[Darren]

I just don't have a good feeling about this. I'm giving us a 30% chance.
But if our openers score runs.... but I don't see that happening. Might as well open with Kane.

Ferguson is a huge loss.

[Paekakboyz]

Fark. Lochie being injured is a blow. Do we go southee and ish, ish and Henry? Southee and Henry?? Agh

[akan004]

Lost the toss, England batting first. Big blow.

150 run loss incoming

Must admit to feeling the air in my world cup tricycle leaking a but of late.

Resigned myself to a team with a few limitations (surprise surprise nz cricket), mathematically limping into the semis and praying for a Bradbury-esque heist (there's a transporters pun in there if you're sad enough to know bats😒) or just another semi that looks good on paper...again.

Now lockies out and the tyres just lost a bit more

So Carrn you Blackcaps and the mark of Kane - turn me into a doubting Thomas fool once more, and play out your skin thus fulfilling our duty to world cricket and putting a nail in the Pom coffin as penance for their years and years of cricket slavery, before the benevolent and generous BCCI took over.

Would be a good one to win

We've been keeping Southee's powder dry for this exact match. 7-for coming up.

[No Quarter]

Also, with any luck Boult's hatrick has shot him right back into form and he rips the English a new one.

Couldn't one of the WAGs given Lockie some 'treatment'?

[mariner4life]

Those who are able?

Jesus...

Daily Torygraph says Wassim after first game gave him some advice on feet and swing is back!

That's probably what caused the injury in the first place!

Most turgid anthem in the world

Wassim you say, well that's great just as long as he's more discreet than the Aussies were.

[Donsteppa]

Dipak warming up.

[reprobate]

fucken really?

[No Quarter]

Nearly got him first ball!

Shit keeping.

[Donsteppa]

Latham not seeing it with the bat or with the gloves...
