Guys I'm really worried about the future FIL. Haven't heard from him since the black caps last lost and England played cricket today.

Might send him a picture of my best mate on the piss with Chris Martin last night to cheer him up.

We play Afghanistan next. Not sure if this result is good, to help ward off complacency or bad as it will have them full of confidence and self belief.

We've been applying ourselves pretty well this tournament so I think this probably makes the game a bit harder.

The Masters of the Colonies could really have had a night of it if they'd lost to Fiji!

Not a real world cup without a good upset. Glad we're not on the receiving end of it (yet).

Everyone has played three games now, and us and India are the only unbeaten sides left. We play Afghanistan tonight, should be another win but we need to be wary of both their top order and their spinners.

That's what England said right

It looks like theres a split with the teams, 4 are likely to be bottom (even allowing for the odd upset) SL, Ban, Neth and Afg.
That leaves the other 6 teams fighting for 4 spots which makes these upsets so important. England and now SA losing to teams they should have beaten gives the likes of us a bigger break

Also its misleading to see OZ as off the pace, they started with a much tougher draw then us.
After tonights game it gets real for us and we can easily end up outside the top 4.
