I can see England losing this game against Afghanistan. They have some really good players

Hardyman's Yugo is an anagram of Nostradamus.....well, it has some of the same letters anyway

I called it when Malan and Root got out. We were rubbish

The Dutch beat the Saffars easily

But what about in the cricket?

The Dutch caps were too much

Lost 3 quick wickets there! Need to show a bit more respect maybe?

Should have lost rachin and will young ages ago. Better fielding and we would be looking at a catastrophe.

Good partnership between Latham and Philips. Nice cameo at the end from Chapman. If Afghanistan took their catches could have been a different story. Pitch doesn't look that easy to bat on. Should really have enough runs to defend.

Wrighty out or not out?

Australia stung by controversial Stoinis dismissal in World Cup loss to South Africa

The Aussies stumbled to their second defeat of the tournament.

not out, looked like his hand was off the bat.

yes, yes you are, and Woakes is supposed to be leading the attack, and he's been terrible.

So nice to hear Afghanistan playing and not getting blown up.

 

[Wrighty]

Max O’Dowd for Netherlands is a prank player

Long hair and a swagger like he is a dynamic dasher
Yet never reaches 30 runs
Should drop him asap

Worst specialist batsman in the tournament

 

[Wrighty]

New Zealand is winning the ladder due to a combination of having a soft draw so far and the fact our team are not arrogant like other teams and we therefore don’t trip up against minnow teams while other high profile teams do

Concerned about Ravindra/Phillips being that 5th bowler when we come up against better teams.

Our other 4 bowlers are so strong they will carry our 5th bowler

Last nights game was very exciting to watch
The difference between this New Zealand team and the 2019 and 2015 team is that our 5 6 7 and 8 are much stronger
Latham in India is a beast
Phillips is a very strong number 6 by international standards
And with Chapman we have a specialist bat at 7 which most teams do not have Santner is a highly qualified number 8 and even Matt Henry is a decent number 9
I don’t rate lockie as a number ten and think Trent is a better batsman

I don’t know who we drop when Kane comes back
Probably keep Rachin since he bowls

Starting to get into this World Cup
The ten team format is terrific

 

[Wrighty]

Even though I don’t like Mitchell and think his shot last night was Ill chosen
At least he got out playing his shots rather than nurdling around
Good things from a team perspective happen if you get out for being too proactive usually I have observed while the other team gets a pile of momentum from a timid dismissal

Southee might come back and chapman might get the chop.

Southee might come back and chapman might get the chop.

I hope not
Don’t change a winning team
And secondly our over rate will be too slow with 4 fast bowlers
However thanks for the insider information

I hope not as well, I have a feeling that Southee's best days are well behind him and he shouldn't even be playing for NZ, tests included.
