I would say South African supporters (like myself) are pretty fun to troll but you will never be as good at trolling SA fans as the SA cricket team is.

Teddybear posted:If I have a basic familiarity with cricket is the England/NZ game a good one to jump in on? Yes. Cricket is a slow enough game that the game doesn't really matter. This game will have activity in the thread to ask questions.

 FYI this also works for any other sport, except rugby because that is a silly game for silly people.

I love sports narratives and "constant English world cup failures" is a very good one indeed. You just need to call something a "world cup" and England will be awful at it. We should have called the last 300 years the colonialism world cup and saved the world a lot of heartache.

England have won world cups in all the sports we care about (football, cricket, rugby, darts), and some we don't as well probably. Your insults roll off like water off a good English mallard duck's back.

Basically if you want to define cricket it's a load of countries who for various reasons are a bit insecure about their places as independent nations in the modern world. And England.

You're forgetting that you're not allowed to declare in one day cricket: even if England are 300/0 after ten overs they have to bat out all fifty

Been enjoying the World Cup so far but some of the finer points are still escaping me so I went and got a book called Cricket Explained. Going to sit and watch this match with the book and hopefully it helps.

For some reason I keep thinking that both these teams are going to end up with a negative NRR by the end of this game.
