Not unlike your face, or your posts for that matter.

Almost like the IPL has ruined cricket, fans around the world don't seem bothered about the other formats.
No doubt ticket prices, have priced many out too. Governing bodies of sport love to do that.

Santner bowling to them is the trifecta

Commentators have been making noises like England are struggling, but under the old double-your-score-at-30-overs guide 350 is very much on, given the long batting lineup.

its not just prices, tickets themselves were not sold in a proper manner

Good. They'll be 20 short.

Mitchell and Neesham should bowl the bulk of overs 40-50.

A full ten overs of wicket taking opportunities you mean.
Precisely.
This English line up is something else.

It only seems deep because you're/they're not very tall tbh.

England will either go 350 plus or all out 195

Give them away if you need to. No crowd for the opening match makes this a farce. Google are highlighting the opening match of the Cricket World Cup on their search engine, this is supposed to be 'a big deal'....then any person from around the globe tuning in is going to wonder 'what is going on? Where are the people? Is this a major sport?'

Sage from Ian Smith. ‘If Buttler or Root get out, they won’t get any more runs. But if New Zealand get zero more wickets, that would be bad, so they should try to get more wickets’. Said it in a slightly dramatic-yet-knowing voice though.
