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 -

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.

i look forward to the new and interesting way they find to do it
