2015 RWC all over again..
You mean Nz to beat Aussie in the final?

i found myself actually supporting Aus last night. I like a lot of their players these days, Finch has really grown on me, and he played a gem last night.
That was a fucking good win. England will rue their first 20-odd overs where their bowling was all over the shop. They actually tightened right up, starting with Stokes' spell, and made it difficult for Aus to put the hammer down. But in those conditions chasing 280 against that Aus attack is a hell of an ask.
England will be freaking the fuck out. However i can't see them missing out. I think the result that would put their hearts in their mouths would be Pakistan knock us over tonight
-
@mariner4life I found myself supporting them too. Mainly because one of the bookies had $4 odds warner to score 30+ and aus to win.
Second dirty bet on my most hated cricketer. Oh well my meth dealer doesn't judge where the money comes from...
-
It will hurt me to cheer for India, but I'd love to see them dust the Poms and set up a 'must win' game against NZ to finish.
For Australia, it's a case of class players standing up when they are needed. Warner is the top tournament runscorer, and Finch is #2. That can't be understated given our relatively weak middle/lower order. Hard to fuck it up if you're 0/100 after 20 overs each game.
Meanwhile Starc is the top wicket taker and back to his best.
All of a sudden it looks like a race in three, but I still wouldn't rule England out. I reckon they scrape into the semi-finals and then anything can happen.

I think the balance of this attack was right. Zampa didn't achieve much. Lyon didn't do much better but has experience and threat

This is straight pornography:
The way Stokes drops the bat and trudges off is just happiness in it's purest form. Hook it to my veins. The actions of a man who realises he has been comprehensively bettered by a superior human being.
Geez that's Wasim Akram type shit right there y'all.

He got that to move in the air big time, something Boult has been struggling with so far this CWC. He's looking bloody ominous, batsmen will not be looking forward to facing swing at that sort of pace.
