I haven't been this excited for a Cricket world cup in ages. As a long time supporter of the Black Caps, it just seems like we have a real chance this time.

I've taken a screenshot of the Goon league to commemorate the assuredly only time I will be in the lead.

"This was always going to be a tough game for us"

Can't even keep a straight face saying that.

Who said that?

I remember NZ bowling Bangladesh out for a total so small that McCullum knocked it off in a few overs almost by himself. The game finished so fast that they played a 20/20 afterwards to make it up to the crowd. And since I have McCullum as my power player I'm hoping for a repeat.

don't worry, you've found it at the most exciting time!

Why couldn't they have taken this break at the innings changeover?

I assume it's for catering. Food wasn't ready for the Scottish collapse.

It will be for the Tv scheduling. Need to have the breaks when planned for ad revenue purposes.

That makes more sense.

Despite our best efforts I think we may still come away with a victory.

As this is in NZ how many hundred spectators can we expect?

At least 3.

What do we think for a total? Can England push on to three hundred from here?

My bold strategy of forgetting to update the fantasy league for several games and leaving Gayle as my Power player worked wonders.

Thanks, it seems all OK. I just wanted to be sure.

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.

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.
