England and Australia still to play each other. At least one of them will lose 3 games. 5-4 and a poor NRR might not be enough to make the semi finals.

What an absolute fizzer between Pakistan and India - Pakistan could miss out to NZ for the semis.

Also for the Aus game - fully expecting us to lose again. May as well bring in Agar.

SL 0/102 (18 ov)

Not an ideal start for Australia. Six bowlers, only Maxwell going for less than 5.33 rpo.

Sri Lanka lost 9/52 (cricket fans will recognise those figures).

So the question is, who of Pakistan, England and Australia makes the semi finals?

AUS v PAK this Friday could effectively eliminate the loser.

We might get on a bit of a run now with victories until the England game. That will make or break us. It is important that we continue to bowl first. We can't rely on our batsmen to set a target. And all this criticism of say the Netherlands by the commentators saying oh look at how great this wicket looks and they are still bowling first - that's because they are doing that because they don't trust their batsmen against world class attacks and fair enough. And I don't care if anyone labels us as cowards - whatever we can do to make up for the squad selections I will take and hopefully we will re-assess selections after the WC.

feel like they can be got at if you can knock over the top order. people like klasasen and miller are very productive but patient and low risk accumulation, as is required now, is not their thing

David Miller’s wicket should mean game over.

7/145 with 101 runs required off 12 overs.

watching NED's number 9 batter smash rabada and ngidi out of the ground in consecutive overs is a pretty cool reminder of how much t20 has changed the game

just looked up a random england south africa game in the 1996 world cup, we had dominic cork batting 7. he hit one maximum in his ODI career consisting of 32 matches spread over ten years

(having said that, SA had shawn pollock batting 8 in that match which is just ****ing cheating, guess he was at the start of his career)

We can always count on one lolSA moment in the wc but I expected it to not happen until the semifinal.

I feel now SL and Pak are minnow level at same level as afghans and Bangla. England will stumble into the semis because I don’t trust SA to win under presssure and Aus are great at failing in India

Come on NZ? I think I will abstain - WI would have been my 2nd choice if they made it
