Group 1 (Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland)

I think we can count ourselves all lucky the India Pakistan game managed to happen.

Well, maybe not all of us.

 

[Bolo.]

Why do they keep scheduling 1 game on a Saturday when they are playing up to 3 on a weekday?

Yeah it's ****ing annoying.

 

[Daemon]

social mentioned that it was due to horse racing or something in Aus.

It happened throughout the India and Aus series as well. No games on Friday/Saturday but games on Sunday when people need to wake up early for work the next day.

 

[Victor Ian]

Could the horses really be behind it? Who gives a ****? And even if they were a thing you could double header in somewhere not Melbourne or Sydney if you were worried about splitting crowds. I think the mystery is still unsolved.

 

[straw man]

Just quietly, if Sri Lanka can spring an upset tonight they go to the top of Group 1 after three games each.

 

[TheJediBrah]

the "horse racing or something" is so much bigger than this cricket tournament, it's not a mystery that it's affecting scheduling

We have public holidays for it

 

[ataraxia]

Macewell should play, honestly

 

[thundaboult]

Allen is becoming the main event attraction here, and deservedly so.

 

[Moss]

Allen’s game vs spin will be tested today, should be fun to watch.

Williamson will be important today even if he’s off colour, if Lanka’s spinners come to the party.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Keep all international cricket out of Australia. Chennai will gladly oblige all arrears.

 

[ataraxia]

Allen’s game vs spin will be tested today, should be fun to watch.

Well, no idea whatsoever!

Busted.

Exciting player to watch though.

 

[thundaboult]

Yup, that can happen Finny

 

[Athlai]

Allout

 

[ataraxia]

Allout

Don't worry, Kane will steady the ship

 

[anil1405]

How many kiwis would take a run a ball 30 from kanos here?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Allout

Myth Allen

 

[TheJediBrah]

**** these conditions suit Sri Lanka perfectly

Well bowled, held back a bit, but that is such a Sydney spinners dismissal.

 

[ataraxia]

Uncharacteristic from Conway, and now it's upset time...

why Phillips over Mitchell
