The Deshi side looks a lot taller on average than they used to. Same with SL. Meanwhile India has a factory of tiny dudes whereas they’d have at least a couple of tall ones in the past. Wonder why that is.

Might be a job for @thierry henry

Woohoo. Century in this world cup. Bummer I'm at work and only following by commentary.

Now, just need rain to wash out second innings just for some dark humour.

Doesn't matter if I used the wrong thread

NZ upsets most hated rivals in first game, England lose to minnows

Shocking that a kiwi loves the tournament and a pom "can't get into this competition at all"

Think the crap climate hasn't helped.

Not fair on the rest of India when Yuzy Chahal brings the average down so much

hm maybe to the casual. i'd be surprised if england haven't usurped the crown among diehards tbh, and for me pakistan are second after the successful victim complex even managing to extract money from our own board for elements of their country worrying an international spook ring enough to bring the nz team home.

yeah **** the pcb.

 

[straw man]

Fair chance of a washout in Eng vs Aus tonight - going to leave England in the worse position after that Ireland loss. Annoying, as should be a fun match for the neutral - get a climate etc.

 

[Burgey]

Interesting you say that because the forecast is for sunshine until Monday.

 

[Burgey]

I mean, a storm can always roll in but this is the current view looking towards the scg from my chambers.

 

[straw man]

Looks nice - give the SCG a call and ask them if they have room for a last minute cricket match tonight

 

[Burgey]

lol I thought it was up here for some reason, which probably shows how uninterested I've been in getting tix.

Fans and teams have to go through enough without being in shitty old Grim City for such a big game.

 

[TheJediBrah]

If washout is good for Aus then the great city of Melbourne will have done it's job

 

[straw man]

After the qualifying series wasn't rain affected at all, we have to ask the question - why can't other Australian cities be more like Hobart and Geelong?

Geelong is basically a part of Melbourne tbf

No you aren't.

 

[Zinzan]

Not another potential wash out is it? Just to add another spin to the already bizarre group 1 standings.
