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

[Prince EWS]

Has it been confirmed which SF's are at which venue?

NZ are playing in Sydney and England are playing in Adelaide.

My consolation for the weekend now becomes my Sunday morning yoga class with Corinne.

Genuine Saffa cameraman areas.

 

[Shady Slim]

Hopefully it’s England NZ and we win via a super over

huh then you'd have actually won

NZ are playing in Sydney and England are playing in Adelaide.

Cheers. ****ing bizarre that the actual tournament website just put "TBC" vs "TBC" rather than saying Group 1 winner vs Group 2 runner-up or the like.

I can’t help but think much of this tourney organisation has been pretty shambolic, but I wonder how much of that has been influenced by my watching it through the awful quality of the broadcast.

Cricinfo does that as well but if you click through onto their match pages it tells you.

Also RIP to Arun Finch’s international career. Been a terrific LO player and captain for Australia.

That’s what happens when it’s hosted in a backwater

You’ve all disappointed me in this thread and my standards for you were already very low

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I'm not convinced that spinners squeezing the life out of the game is quite what 20 over cricket is supposed to be all about.

Do us all a favour and set up your own thread to bore yourself to tears in with your incessant parroting, so the rest of us can talk about cricket

Wait who am I parroting

Yourself. Over and over.

It was either Australia or England through to the semis, so you have criminals either way. At least this result is funnier because the home team + defending champs have been dumped out.

 

[Adders]

England looking in all likelihood to get through now. It just highlights the farcical situation in this world cup whereby a team can lose to a minnow and still be allowed to progress to the final stages, when doing so should see you banned from competing in the rest of the tournament.

The ICC have egg on their faces.

Well you shouldn't have got smashed by NZ should you....you muppet

 

[thierry henry]

Yourself. Over and over.

i don’t think that’s how parroting works? But I dunno, if you can lobby the mods for a Thierry forum I guess that would be cool

It's all very zzzzz...
Hales and Stokes are very privileged, wealthy young sportsmen with probable access to the best lawyers and attorneys in the country. Did anyone really expect them to be convicted and serve jail time?
