Mister Chief posted:Aussie are going to cruise to the final. They'll play the West Indies/Pakistan in the QF and India/England in the SF. Replacing Doherty with a decent seam bowler will help, but the batting is so hit and miss they're one comedy collapse away from a quick knockout exit against pretty much anyone who has a good bowling day. Even England can do that once a year.

If they bat first they'll handily win all those games. A team needs to put up a decent score and put them under some pressure.

Finn has twice as many wickets this WC as Anderson and Broad combined and he's the one that gets dropped, lol.

Finn is the least swing-y of the three and the idea behind this bowl-first fiasco is that Overcast Adelaide = Swingy Adelaide. Of course what will actually happen is the ball won't swing, since it's white not red, and The Bangers will post 350 and England won't chase it very well.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo Although it's not like they've been in the grounds recently anyway, they've been out the back by the dumpsters and portaloos. Terrible call.

Impressive first few overs from England here. If they continue to shine like this they might earn a few touring opportunities like Ireland and Afghanistan

Whenever a team like South Africa or Australia elects to bowl against a team like Scotland or Afghanistan the whole crowd must collectively groan. Then again, this is England so 350/2 is on for Bangladesh.

Then again, this is England so 350/2 is on for Bangladesh. When Bmac lost the toss in Napier and the Afghans opted to bat there was an audible groan from the crowd. Of course even as NZ comfortably won, most of the crowd was groaning about the lack of sixes. These day's winning comfortably is not nearly enough, especially if you're wearing an orange shirt.

God forbid a sport that dangles precariously over the edge of future viability (outside the Indian subcontinent at least) does anything fun to bring notice to the sport's WORLD CUP. That... that just wouldn't be cricket.

I say, that Englishman with the big beard is a bit uncoming for an English cricketer. I do hope someone has a quiet word to him about that behind the sheds during the tea break.

Luckily for everyones sensibility they swiftly toned it back with the segment Guess That Perenium. Looking forward to the return of traditional and professional Big Unit discourse.
