Want to see class rewatch Kane getting his ‘match winning’ 100.
Class is awesome.
Trophies are better.
Amazingly Warner isn’t even the biggest fluffybunny in that photo

without a doubt wee Davey is a massive dick not just in cricket but across all sports. But honestly anyone who doesn't believe that he'd be opening with Guptill if he qualified for NZ is deluded.
Of course if he was a Kiwi he'd unquestionably be a saint

I fancy England in the semi finals. They are devastating playing from in front, but otherwise. Very similar to some of the more flawed AB sides of recent decades, not so much chokers but really seem to have a mental block about reverting to the basics when things get tight.
NZ can't beat England straight up, but much like SA in the past two CWC we can drag them into a shitfight and from there we are marginally favourites IMO.
India on talent and Australia on muscle memory against NZ the closer the game is the more worried I would be. I would want to avoid both.

Poms lose.
Being reported like the biggest upset in the history of time.
England have a tough run in, Aussie India and us. If they lose to oz and India that final match will be massive

Wow, cool result for a struggling, yet always likeable Sri Lanka. Really pleased for them.
That Angelo Mathews is one hell of a player.
Not sure it'll affect the expected semi finalist quartet but great to see a genuine upset.
Tiny bits of self doubt for the poms?

@Siam if they lose to the Aussies the pressure will rapidly intensify. How long until it starts to erode their confidence? The #1 ranking is a hindrance because it has only served to ratchet up the expectations of the home media and fans. Which are already unrealistically high

Agreed. Sri Lanka have West Indies, South Africa and India. England have Australia, India, us and a two point lead and a significant lead on net run rate. But if they lose to the aussies and Sri Lanka beats the West Indies (their next matches and both easily possible results), Sri Lanka goes level on points and then the pressure will really be on because they won't just have to win, but keep nrr high. Sri Lanka also play their last game after England too (albeit against India) so in a tied situation they'll have the advantage of knowing exactly what they need to do in terms of nrr.
