The Points Table/Standings

I hope so just so @Flem and @thierry henry have to support England next Saturday

They'll have to support Australia against Afghanistan too which I reckon they'd hate even more.

I'm happy to have free rent around the globe but I'd need to see the match up to consider supporting England and I have no problems supporting Australia against the other big 3 nations.

If we miss out I want Afghanistan to make it.

@Athlai you jinxed your team by making the bet me thinks.

Jinxes aren't real, there is no God. These are things you learn as a NZ cricket fan.

I have changed my second team. For me it's the south vs the might of India. I'm happy for any of AUS, NZ or SA to win it. So, **** me...I'm probably supporting England against SL.

I think I've figured England out. If they beat SL and end up on four points, they will be demanding the cup on another 4 countback.

You won’t be missing out. You’ll be playing Aus in the final

Or maybe your team is full of betas who can't actually beat a strong team.

 

[Athlai]

Oh no. My personal honour has been infringed because you called cricket players betas

We don't actually call those kiwis

 

[Athlai]

NZers call the bird kiwi, and the fruit is the kiwifruit.

Is Adorable Asshole one of those guys who has discovered his mouth because his country is finally really good at a sport?

It feels good when your country gets good at a new sport, but some people take longer to find a content confidence than others.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No, there are good chances of rain again on the matchday of NZ vs SL , it could spoilsport and break lots of NZs fans heart

Rain Perera has its origins in Sri Lanka

And yet you cant learn to ****ing gambhir, can you?

Someone calculated semi-final qualifying scenarios for both NZ and PakView attachment 37966

I think Pakistan have to bowl/field first if winning the toss, regardless of conditions. Trying to skittle a team out for a really low score when the pressure is on would probably be a bit too much for this side.

 

[shortpitched713]

Remember when people were moaning that there would be too many dead rubbers at the back half of the tournament

I can't think of a way to ruin sport more than to imagine your thoughts and words literally impact it.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

What about an entire thread of it

 

[Sunil1z]

Ever heard of the term “commentators curse” .

Surely no-one really believes in this? It's just funny when it happens.

Awarding WC through boundary count after an officiating error.

The batsmen are listening to the game through an earpiece and when they get praised it puts them off.
