As bad as England are, the organising of this tournament is a disgrace. Heard on Wisden Cricket Pod that England vs India is in 12 days and it is STILL not possible to buy a ticket! Official website says ‘they’re coming soon’. No wonder there are no travelling fans (and almost no fans at other games not involving India)
No opening ceremony before the first game of the tournament, but one before the India vs Pakistan game that they realise they don’t have the song rights to broadcast so only show it for the fans in the stadium. Joke
yep even getting a mention in the match thread
Nayam: "@Dave H, completely agree with you. The ticketing system for this wc has been a complete shambles. And due to this the lack of travelling fans has really robbed this wc of the carnival atmosphere a tournament of a magnitude of a wc deserves."

And 3 quick wickets and Australia should take this easy now

Cricket will not miss David Warner, at all. And if he gets a commentary gig, it will result in me switching the channel i watch (fuck i hope he ends up on Fox Sports and not Ch7). It's bad enough i have to hear from his vapid wife.
Look at his latest "outburst". Gets given out on an LBW, reviews, and stays out because it's clipping the wickets. Not the one you should be kicking off over David, that's hardly a howler. This whole 12-month retirement party you've planned for yourself isn't going well is it?
His big idea is umpire stats being shown on the screen. I'm battling to follow his point actually, but i guess he wants the public to know who has given him out the most? I dunno, it's a barely coherent point.
In short, fuck off David.
Least with how shit his form is we wont have to watch him jumping up waving his bat like hes just scored the winning runs in a WC Final every time he scores a 100.
Way to jinx it.

Is there a way both can lose?
draw? or do they have super overs in round robin as well?
Yeah super over. Doesn't help me... maybe Poms to win by a run to put a bullet in RSA's chances, and keep the NRR low
-
WTF, just saw the SA innings total. Here I was thinking Aussie had set things on fire with their total against Pakistan!

Any idea on the England decision to chase? Didn't seem a smart decision at the time and it's definitely not now.
"Dew" probably. Although England aren't reliant on a strong spinning attack.

Yeah I'd figured that, helped by Comms saying it was a road. But...ahhh ..

So England played 4, won 1 & lost 3
That likely means they need to win the 5 remaining games to have a chance of qualifying? That includes games against India & Australia
Does this put NZs strong start into a bit more perspective? England only team we've played we would have 'expected' to lose to, so far.

England have been a shambles. Afghanistan however romp to another victory today.
I see there is a crisis meeting in November about the future of the 50 over game because of poor tv and in ground spectator numbers. India have presumably done what they set out to do and killed the format.
I think we should stop the tournament now, go home and never play it again. England will be the world champions for ever…

Pretty heartening how hard we were able to push India.
England and Pakistan both in big trouble.
If we beat Pakistan and Sri Lanka we should safely make the top 4 - and we get a couple of winnable swings of the bat against Oz and SA.

Yup wasn't like India smashed us. We were just short of 20 - 30 runs. Comfortable win for the overwhelming favorites but we weren't embarrassed.
The Afghans did us and the other top sides another favour by beating Pakistan
