    England have put themselves in a poor position, but we can beat anyone on our day. I wouldn't say I am hopeful, but certainly can't see it as impossible.

    One word: confidence. India are unbeaten and all their players are in the form of their lives. Plus it will be like a home game for them at Edgbaston. England are struggling with both form and injuries.

    Don’t get me wrong, I still have hopes of qualifying, but don’t underestimate India!

    Never seen that before! A swarm of bees has halted the SA v SL game at Chester-Le-Street! All the players and both umpires were lying face down on the ground for nearly a minute.

    In todays cricket, NZ v Australia is of little interest from England's POV, but sadly Pakistan will probably beat Afghanistan. Still in our own hands (just got to win a couple of games o_O) and the Sri Lanka result helped us....so we are still alive (although this may be just a ruse to extend the torture....luckily we are used to this as Saints fans :)).

    Perhaps you should save some for the start of the season.

    Somewhat strange to think that the focus of the WC today won't be on Aus v NZ at Lords.

    Oh if only NZ hadn't got the fortunate washed-out point v India, things would be oh so different for them and us.

    I'm expecting a Pakistan win today, but if any side can mess it up, it's Pakistan. Just don't expect Afghanistan to score anything in excess of 230.

    Think it also happened earlier this year, with England against India.
