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

[Son Of Coco]

Someone needs to teach the Afghanis to slide their bats.

 

[duffer]

Harsha laughing at how middle class that helicopter shot was, probably

 

[Burgey]

Cummins having a giggle with the batsman in the midst of a must win game after he’s just hit him for a couple of runs is ****ing atrocious

 

[ashley bach]

The over from Cummins followed by Zampas ruined an exciting game in the twinkling of an eye.

 

[morgieb]

I like the idea of 4 team x 4 groups with top 2 going to quarters

I think this was similar to the 07 World Cup with the QF's instead being the Super 8's.

I think that's the ideal format if you want to give the minor nations more exposure. This one isn't bad but means that the first round is basically ignored because the best sides aren't playing.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I can't think of too many advantages for the punter with an unregulated illegal one. Be way easier for them to completely make you jump through hoops to withdraw cash as well because you can't whine to anyone

When my grandfather got his Queens Birthday honour in the mid 80s for services to sport and to the community, we went over to his place on the Sunday of the long weekend to congratulate him, and as I walked in the door he was on he phone saying “Tell Fred that Ted Burge wants $20 each way on number 7 in the fourth.”

The TAB killed SP bookies

richardson kocks the front arm like an off spinner and is getting the offspinner treatment

We can use the 50 over world cup for the 10 team league where it feels like a mini football season except cricket nations

One of the cups at least should be about expanding the game. I wouldn't mind a 20 team T20 WC honestly. 4 groups of 5

 

[Xix2565]

Rashid wants to win so badly.

 

[morgieb]

Well, that's two big hits. Keeps the door very slightly ajar.

 

[Gob]

Haha

 

[Pup Clarke]

Rashid should be no lower than 5 tbh. Absurd amounts of ability

Embarrassing that boards don't want a more global tourney really. Or having this dumb qualifier stage.

 

[Burgey]

So one of Richardson, Stoinis or green has to bowl the last over. The Ghan a real chance

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Rashid going for the win!

 

[Shady Slim]

feels like the sort of call, no wide there, that if a bad team getting smashed bowled it to a good team smashing them it'd be called

 

[Everton Seymour]

Kane Richardson's forefathers would be proud of that bowling performance .

Yeah there is something really cool about the old school bookie bet. Feels all clandestine too. I know degenerate gamblers have existed forever but the current system with instant deposit apps just feels like it makes it way too easy to get tilted and lose thousands in a night

 

[Burgey]

Fmd Clarke has had some bad plastic surgery. I hope he doesn’t walk too close to an electric heater, he’ll melt.

 

[morgieb]

Wow, this is clutch as **** from Rashid.
