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

[social]

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

Today we have Derby Day, Golden Eagle in Sydney, club cricket and V8 SuperCars

Good luck getting high ratings for some random T20 game

Eeek.

This bowler chucks the odd ball btw

 

[Moss]

Two dismissals with batsman making room and trying to go square.

The little Lankans! Shades of '96

Kiwis have Buckley's chance without their openers

There goes any reliability in the NZ line up.

nah fam

this group is going to be a street fight for those 2 spots

 

[trundler]

This is wonderful bowling

 

[morgieb]

Damn.

It's a shame about the rain, this has been a great tournament otherwise.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Oh didn't realise Daryl "2022 Bradman" Mitchell is playing

 

[thundaboult]

expecting a cracker of a game now

 

[BeeGee]

Good toss to lose. Excellent bowling.

 

[ataraxia]

The captaincy problem is so real this WC. Finch, Bavuma, Shanaka, and with this lack of intent - Kane too.

Stop going back dude

 

[anil1405]

3 down. Wanindu and Lahiru are yet to bowl.

 

[Burgey]

NZ doing their best to really even up the group here
