Okay looking at the tournament. Once again New Zealand are showing form coming into the world cup so their usual semi final spot looks good. West Indies, Sri Lanka and South Africa are capable of winning matches against the better teams, but they struggle with consistency, they can not win the cup. The two for me are England and India. England have all the pressure, but they also have a well balanced side, who can defend a small score, or chase a big target. India has two of the best one day batsmen of all time and both are absolutely determined to win this cup with Dhoni having his last chance. So I will go England to win, And we will have Pakistan as our longshot to do well! ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

Good summary Voyager. Just a little background.... 1. This is a 10 team round robin played as a single group. The top 4 ranked teams at the end of the round robin progress to the knockout semi finals (1st v 4th, 2nd v 3rd) with the semi final winners meeting on a knockout final on 14 July 2019 2. Eight teams qualified by virtue of their international rating at September 2017 (including host nation England) see table 2 3. The remaining two teams came through the ICC World Cup Qualifyng tournament in Zimbabwe in March 2018 with Afghanistan and West Indies meeting in the final in Harare. Afghanistan won by 7 wickets despite losing the toss. They dismissed West Indies in under 47 overs for 204 and made the runs for the loss of only 3 wickets in less than 41 overs. Both finalists qualified for the World Cup finals. Ireland and Zimbabwe (both test status nations) did not qualify for the finals. 4. Latest ICC ODI rankings at 20 May 2019 (Table 1)  5.

10 teams and the tournament will still drag on for 45 days? What a joke! May as well just have everyone else play India once the the best performed play Pakistan in a semi final for the right to play India in the final. People joke about the standards of the Rugby League and to a lesser extent the Rugby Union world cups but at least these sports understand that exposure to the big boys is the best way to increase performance and interest in the lesser performed countries. |

Warner and Smith are two massive additions to a side in good form... but I just don't think Finch is a captain's Christmas pudding. Plus, the selectors will be picking Marsh and Zampa ahead of Stoinis & Lyon... so, I think we're f****d. Warner, Khawaja, Smith, Wade, Stoinis, Maxwell, Carey, Starc, Cummins, Coulter-Nile, Lyon...that XI would win this thing.

England were very impressive dealing with the South Africans. Jofra Archer looks an extraordinary player generating great pace seemingly out of nowhere. The ball that sent Hashim Alma back to the sheds for a spell was murderous. Thank heaven for helmets. 3/27 off 42 balls on pitch that was a belter. Yet Archer was nowhere near Man of the Match because Ben Stokes had a day out with bat, ball and in the field. Probably the best catch I have ever seen , a run out, 2 for 12 off 17 balls and all that after top scoring for England with 89 runs off 79 balls. Surely that was one of the finest all round performances in the history of the 50 over game.
A top night's entertainment. |

Good match and Stokes certainly showed he is in for a good tournament. South African bowling attack did well to keep England down to just over 300, about thirty short, but the England bowlers showed there quality. I though Du Plessis made a good move to open with the spinner, and that might be something other captains may look at doing. Windies against the Pakistan team tonight should answer some questions. ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

I have not seen Archer before and I was skeptical. I was even more skeptical when I saw how much bling he was wearing. That necklace looks like a gold plated motor cycle chain and that Rolex would settle my debts. But having seen him last night I am a believer. He could make the difference in this World Cup. England is a team I have traditionally loved to hate there is a lot to like about this one.

Smith and Warner aren't entitled to cuddles or applause just because they served a penalty, and the paying public are fully entitled to their say. They have every right to disapprove of cheating. Smith and Warner might have satisfied the conscience of Cricket Australia by serving a 12 month ban but the cricket public apparently still disapprove. No one is stopping Smith and Warner from playing. And no one should seek to stop the public from expressing their disapproval at their cheating. Boo.

I agree with the sentiments of Tontonon & E&E with regard to this issue. These guys lost the admiration of the fans who followed them and cheered them along before they committed those irresponsible actions. They brought this phenomena on themselves. The cricket public will act accordingly. Can't imagine that the cricket administration stepping in and walking those who jeer out of the stadium. However, the jeering debate won't stop here because when it comes to AFL football with what Goodes endured and what some black soccer players face in Eastern Europe the issue of fan abuse borders on serious moral (and possibly legal) actions. |

I was bemoaning the bowling attack, but after England put the Aussies into bat, our attack used the conditions well. The English are now in trouble as they meet India and New Zealand and they must win both matches to make the finals, and it looks like they have done the usual trick and peaked early. ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

Great format this time around. So many possible scenarios to play out, though the Kiwis are probably safe in all of them. The washout v India is their best result of the tournament. India are about to play three games in six days, with England and Bangladesh both desperate for points. Both of those games will be on the short boundaries (especially for the lefties) at Edgbaston. Iqbal, Al Hasan, Stokes and Morgan are all lefties, though none of them have been anything other than ordinary at Edgbaston.

Yep loving the format too. And also the Timezone to be honest. It’s great to be able to come home every night and flick it on for a 7:30 start. Usually watch the first innings then go to bed. If I was a hardcore fan I’d have no hesitation watching it to conclusion though. Don’t think there’s a better timing anywhere in the world TBH. |

Coach said "if you go hard at the nets you win soft in the matches". Take that as you will, however Justin's maxims already appear near enough for publication of a slim but well sought publication of trite and meaningless phrases. Bottom line is that talent and application ensure that teams perform at their best in one-day tournaments, particularly on typically benign pitches, not short pitched deliveries on questionable practice wickets.

Semi final line up is as expected, I reckon the ICC would have only changed one thing in their perfect world, NZ out, Pakistan in. Expect India to win comfortably while the Ashes battle in the other semi is a toss of the coin for mine, it may come down to how the respective new ball attacks fair against their opposition top order. |

New Zealand won the World Cup. The umpires made the wrong call on the overthrows. England was meant to be given just 5 runs, not 6. The batsmen hadnt crossed yet. prior to fielder releasing ball. Umpires were completely wrong. The rule is in black and white as a Law. Its New Zealands World Cup.

I will not bemoan England the win but I agree that NZ should have won and it has nothing to do with the overthrows. If you have a cricket score there are wickets and runs. So why we use only the runs as a winning total. The English were bowled out in their fifty overs, but New Zealand had two less wickets which tells me that they were the better team for the match, so no power over or countback should have been required. But I guess I do not know what I talking about! ------------- Remember, it might take intelligence to be smart , but it takes experience to be wise |

| Hard to believe after the tied scores in the 50 overs and the super over that the title was decided by the number of sixes / fours hit in the 50 overs. |

That makes two of us. I have never understood why wickets isn't included in the winning equation either. |
