Kohli refusing to accept video umpires decision yet again, another 10% fine no doubt rather than the proper action that should be taken!

I agree and judgement day is here. Can we rely on our players to perform as they need to though? No gripes if we go out and make 350ish and they knock it off in an exciting game and we lose but please don't let us limp to 220-9 after our 50 overs and they get it for 2 wickets

Has Kohli complained the only reason they won yesterday was the boundaries were too small?

Massive toss to win, batting on what looks a very flat one. No Lockie Ferguson for the Kiwis either. Will be no one to blame but themselves if they dont win this!

Hopefully Southee bowls his full allowance. 500 could be on

cant be easy coming in to bowl on a deck like this when youve been carrying drinks for the last few weeks!

Eng should have this in the bag... Bowling more dependable than Batting, so looks like Batting is working today.
I am assuming we can see Bolt away without too much damage.
So the big Q is ... NZ or Pak in the final four?

Almost impossible for Pakistan to qualify ahead of NZ on net run rate, theyre relying on the Kiwis to beat England today.

Yep just read something which said we have to beat NZ by around 200 runs and Pakistan need to beat Bangladesh by similar for them to progress if we win today.

England been pegged back here as the pitch appears to get slower with the older ball, low 300s rather than mid 300s looking likely. Should still be enough as long as the Kiwis dont get a complete flier

They are chipping away... will Eng get to 300? All depends on Morgan
Its funny how pitches were fast during the early part of the WC and everyone was moaning about too many runs. A few dry spells and all pitches seem to have slowed down and fast bowlers are bowling slow ones and off cutters... now everyone complaining about low scoring. I must say low scoring more interesting than wham-bam affair

Not sure the pitches are due to the dry spell but more how the BCCI (sorry ICC) have had the pitches prepared

I doubt it is fully down to ICC/BCCI.. it cant change the weather. In any case, they would have like belters as that makes better telly. This WC is even contest between bat & ball..

Its certainly more about how theyve been prepared than the weather thats for sure, international pitches in England werent this dry last summer!

Calm for now, no reason not to be really. Bonus wicket from the ump early too
It's a shame you were not there for this one. Actually, maybe that would be too stressful.How's the nerves? I'm bloody cacking it
Incidentally, who was with you and Sean Pollock in the picture? I couldn't pick him.

Yes mate, there was a clue in the caption
We saw Beefy as well but he looked completely knacked, doddering around on crutches so we decided to spare him

Just to round the story off, Jason Holder called our club on Saturday morning and they arranged a game for him during the Captains Weekend. They reckon he was an absolute gent, built like the proverbial brick outhouse and liked a few tots of Guinness
