@Duluth I have irrational frustration with Zampa doing well, and I don't know why

It might be his name.

Zampa is a stupid name.

This is also why I hate Travis Head doing well

Just asking, but thanks for clearing that up. I can sleep easier now

With Zampa I think it is the long hair and the headband for me

Then again, there’s always Michael Clarke, Shane Watson and Brad Haddin to help even up the ledger

[LABCAT]

So England pretty much going home because of the rain out with Scotland, unless Oman or Namibia can keep them in it.

The embarrassing whinging from us far outweighed the incident in my view.

Chappell was a class batsman, one of the best.

[canefan]

The umpires were every bit as crooked back then. Everyone remembers the underarm, fewer remember Snedden's dead cert catch of Chappell in the deep earlier in that game that was given not out

[Donsteppa]

At least when the Black Craps are back to their historic norm, there's always Pakistan to steal defeat from the jaws of victory...

[Bovidae]

This was on the TV news last night.

[Cyclops]

Had a look at the schedule, and Australia play their last game after England's last. So assuming no more upsets in that pool, Australia and Scotland will both know exactly what the NRR permutations are. Do the Aussies go for a deliberate go slow to try to eliminate the English?

It's the only outcome that justice demands.

[Cyclops]

Aussies 2/1 chasing 180 to keep England in the tournament.

I see the USA Ireland game got rained out, which I believe eliminates Pakistan and Ireland, and puts them through.

So we've now lost 5 test playing nations: us, Ireland, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe (failed to qualify). Plus Nepal only lost by a run against South Africa. Feels like international T20 depth is increasing.

[canefan]

Stating the obvious, but Trent Boult has said this tournament was his last as a BC

While scrolling through some of the Uganda team on cricinfo I noticed none of them even have first class records listed. Do they not play the longer forms of the game there ?

If there’s any cricket experts from Uganda lurking on the fern their input would be appreciated
