Another one sided game and low crowds expected.

its a weekend!! surely the crowd will fill in for this ??

do indian locals really care more about the IPL than the CWC? because I have hardly seen an empty Indian cricket ground. Is it the prices of tickets?

 

[Aidan11]

Not expecting Stokes to play in this one. He'll probably be saved for the big games towards the end of the group stage.

Cricket fatigue is also the reason.
IPL , bilateral series, WC , there is too much cricket nowadays.
Many people in my office aren’t even following ODI WC . They just check score after 10-20 overs and then resume their work .

 

[White Ball]

Reckon Afghanistan may have a chance here. Especially if the deck turns

Hopefully this game can live up to the weight of expectation.

England to win

T20 will kill cricket as we know it.

Ashes will end up being a T20 tournament no doubt too.

England to win

Bold call by this guy

Bold call by this guy

I only make the big calls

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Same and I'm never wrong.

 

[GIMH]

Same and I'm never wrong.

I guess we’re the same you and me

 

[loterry1994]

If Aghanistan bat first we might see a t20 game out of this one

 

[Aidan11]

I'm hoping we bat first and break the record SA created a few days ago.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Expect Topley to bag 8

 

[mackembhoy]

There's no way he ends up fit for the India test series.

[Silver Silva]

There are so many high profile benchwarmers at this WC

 

[GIMH]

Suspect Stokes would be playing if we were facing a top tier side

 

[mackembhoy]

Why on earth are we bowling first?
