Didn't you not just humiliate Sri Lanka in the Asia cup final after beating them comfortably in the "group stage".
While losing to Australia comfortably in one of the 3 games you played them?
Then Sri Lanka got in this World Cup, via the Super League plays offs to boot.

If you can give me another Steinlager I will give you an autograph, we are starting to run low on them, Neesham's already downed about six of them.
You'd have to assume it's very likely that England bt Pak and RSA.

We were just bored that day. Plus that's not how cricket works.

Whatever it takes!!!
NZ were great, England were suboptimal but they can get better. Its really down to the mental side of things. My cousins have already predicted an absolute bonkers performance against our beloved Bangbros. Wounded lion and all that...

Uh oh CW fanfic is leaking into reality
Wowee...,that is one hell of a performance. Obviously the two LH bats get all the deserved glory, but the three frontline bowlers we picked need a massive amount of praise, too. They deserve to be called matchwinners as well.
Matt Henry, he is world class now and has been for a while. He had it on a string on a dead flat one. Santner must've bowled well as well and Boult must've come back from his first couple of overs. For those guys to bowl 30 overs for 133 on a flat as **** deck, with a hotch potch of bowlers around them, is so clutch.

A great thing about Rachin's innings is the balance of our side has now got a significant boost. We can play the side we did today, with six genuinely good top order bats in the top 6, and two powerhouse finishers at 7-8, and even Santner at nine who can do a job. Or we drop Neesham, and play the extra seamer/spinner.
So chuffed with the result. I watched the first 10 overs and I genuinely feel like Matt Henry set the tone for our campaign. He was all over the in-form Malan like a rash, kept Bairstow in check and to me, kinda masked the fact that was a wicket you'd want to be 80-0 off 10 on.

Not the ideal start for us to say the least.
Neil Young
State Vice-Captain
Yep. Santner was superb and Latham marshalled his bowlers exceptionally, so huge credit to him. Phillips picked up two crucial wickets at crucial times. Just an outstanding performance all round.
But talk about sliding doors. I really felt for Young. He gets more on that one down leg, it goes for 4 and he's on his way to a score. As it is, he's now an endangered species. He's been so unlucky throughout his international career.
