Cricket World Cup 2023

[Walken]

Another really meek performance from an England team that looks like it has stagnated.

No team with Reece Topley as their primary strike bowler is winning the world cup.

 

[Eggs]

…..world champions humiliated.

 

[ste d' indica]

Well played Afghanistan, and well deserved.

 

[Ivo]

England not been the same in white ball cricket since butler took over. We've got the players to succeed but something isn't right. Would love to know our odi win percentage since he became captain.

 

[deipnosophist]

I'd correctly picked every winner thus far in the tournament...but my acca has been blown apart by that result.
I'm out of the Rugby tournament as well...had Ireland beating ABs.

 

[Mrbluenose]

May as well give it to India now.

Didn't expect England to retain the trophy, but losing to the Afghanistan, shameful display.

 

[9LeagueTitles5FACups]

I still have hope, but England will probably have to win every remaining game now. Lose one and that hope will diminish very quickly.

 

[Walken]

Cracking start from Sri lanka

 

[summerisle]

South Africa in big do do. Netherlands 245-8, South Africa 145-7, 31.1 overs (43overs game.)

 

[summerisle]

147-8.

 

[Walken]

I actually wasn't that surprised by the Afghans beating us, I felt they would roll someone over in this tournament. But the Dutch battering the Saffers is huge.

 

[Chewbacca]

Surely this just South Africa B beating South Africa A ?

 

[deipnosophist]

The Afrikaan lads must have been on the bevies after their rugby win...
NZ vs Afghanistan next match...hope the Kiwis were more abstemious

 

[john jako]

TBF some of them Netherlands players are really good and have had great seasons in the CC. More than good enough to win games against anyone once in a blue moon.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

South Africa in cricket world cup choke shocker.
