South Africa are fucking flying at this CWC
Scores of 428, 311, 399, and 382
The loss to the Netherlands really stands out as they only scored 207.
de Kock now the leading run scorer as well.

Sure are.
Ironically, probably the least they'd be rated leading in, in their CWC history.

they'll fuck it up, they always do
i look forward to the new and interesting way they find to do it
-
so this CWC has now pretty much taken shape.
India favourites. South Africa and Australia now flying. We're looking super likely for the semis because everyone from 5 down looks a bit shit
Our record propped up by playing 4 games against the ordinary sides. Next two tells us if we are a chance or making up the numbers

England flew out of the blocks with a good start (apart from a missed lbw first ball), but they've fallen into a hole.
Bairstow ran out Root (well, probably both culpable), then got himself out shortly after - and now Butler has gone cheaply. 77/4 and in some trouble (Malan was first out).

Whole tournament has been a joke from England. Too many old players who just don’t care that much about this tournament, poor captain without the personality to repeat Morgan’s approach.
Interesting stats on the Wisden podcast, in the 4 years to 2019 we played something like 85+ games of ODI cricket, in the four years to this one, 44. We also used 10 more players in this cycle as our “best players” were rested. We focussed on T20, and won that last year, we haven’t taken ODIs seriously we deserve everything we’re currently getting
