Aussies might actually get a win today.

The league stage of this tournament which started on 5 October doesn’t finish until 12 November, and the final isn’t until the 19th. Why can’t they play more than one game a day? I’m pretty sure a cricketer doesn’t need quite as much recovery time as the rugby players at their World Cup….

This tournament does seem excessively long.
Surely they could squeeze more games together?
As I think you said, I'm certainly tournament fatigued.

The Dutch giving it a good go against South Africa in a 43 over game.... Having been 82/5 they've got themselves up to 230/8 with 1 over left.....

 

[Trammers]

SA slump to 44/4 from 11 overs against the Dutch......

Game most definitely on.....

109-6.

Netherlands have a great chance here

 

[Hoop-Leif]

Well done Holland!!

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

Well well well, that's brought this World Cup alive ! We play South Africa at the weekend, and need to pummel them to put them in a similar situation to ourselves. Gonna be a huge weekend, hopefully we can bash up the Boks twice in both World Cups !

Good result for Netherlands. A little more hope for England.

A. Reason to expand the teams in the World Cup Ireland Scotland Zimbabwe and West Indies are waiting, I think the Middle East have a team, there 16 for the next cup

Afghanistan doing a number on New Zealand..... NZ coasting along on 109/1 from 20 overs suddenly 115/4 from 23 overs....

Must admit, this didn't age well yesterday

Anyway Bangladesh have made a decent start against India 90/0 off 14 overs.....

 

[Trammers]

From overs 15 - 28 Bangladesh 49/4.... not so decent

 

[Hammersmith bookie]

India cruising

 

[Stroller]

Australia heading for a massive total against Pakistan.

 

[Trammers]

When will the Aussies declare?

Both Marsh & Warner have 100's.........222/0 after 32 overs..... must be time for double Nelson to strike

 

[Trammers]

Aussies under performed in the end?????

From 259/0 in 34th over to just avoiding being bowled out finishing on 369/9......

Game on?

 

[jeffranger]

I think they will be disappointed they didn’t score more

 

[Trammers]

Extras 3rd highest score...... Warner should have gone for 10, a dolly of a catch dropped....
