That's not good. Weather could seriously impact who goes through to the semi. That's why there should be quarter finals.

*Checks AUS vs IRE score*

Ah

 

[Walken]

Match called off, 1 point apiece

Pretty simple equation now for England. Must win both games and that should be enough. If it comes to net run rate, they play last v Sri Lanka so should know the margin they need to win by.

Won't stop Malan trundling to 30 off 50 for his average

Cricket is played in the UK and Ireland where it rains a lot. Can any of our Aussie friends tell us if this amount of rain is unusual in Aus at this time of the year?

Having moved to Vic from the UK over 10 years ago the weather is my biggest disappointment.

Three months of summer its hot and stuff is on fire. You get a week or two in winter when its sunny and high teens, which is a nice given what Uk winters are like. The other 8 1/2 months are nothing special at all.

Shame Ireland couldn't have batted through and got a few more runs to make it a bit closer. Silly decision to take a single last ball of the previous over meaning the number 11 retained the strike.

I didn't pick it, the missus did for her job. I like to show her the forecast for Perth every now and again

….I just want England to win so I have a real interest in the competition. Hales stumped chasing a wide one.

81-1 in the 11th over.

 

[deipnosophist]

England's wash out vs Aussies will trump NZ's equivalent vs Afghanistan...so I see the semi as England vs Sth Africa and NZ vs India. No clue what happens thereafter

Lancashire at the crease, with England's World Cup hopes on their backs

 

[Eggs]

….can’t help thinking the loss to Ireland is heaping pressure on England and they’re trying to force this.

Should have been closer to 200 there England. Finely poised this now
