Cricket World Cup

Not sure if there's anyone else here interested, but it's on at the moment. Went to see Australia beat England on Saturday. Also congrats to Ireland on beating the West Indies.

Re: Cricket World Cup

So England just performed worse against the same opposition (New Zealand) than Scotland did.

Re: Cricket World Cup

Afghanistan almost managed to pull off a win against Sri Lanka. Better luck in the rest of the tournament, Afghans.

Re: Cricket World Cup

In the closest match of the tournament so far, Ireland escape with the win over the United Arab Emirates despite making several attempts to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

And then today, Afghanistan vs Scotland topped it, with Afghanistan getting a last-gasp victory for their first World Cup win. Honestly, the "minnow" Associate Member nations have provided much more entertaining games than the big names thus far.

Re: Cricket World Cup

Incredible seesawing match between Ireland and Zimbabwe, in the balance to the very end. Ireland ran out winners. Don't think it was quite as good as Afghanistan-Scotland, but it's almost a toss up.

Re: Cricket World Cup

Australia win!

Obviously I'm pleased, although I would have preferred a closer match. Commiserations to New Zealand, who played well throughout the tournament.
