2024 T20 Cricket World Cup

No but if India beat Australia and Afghanistan beat Bangladesh then Afghanistan are second in that group and play the winners of our group, and I’d prefer to play Afghanistan than India. I’d say win this within 10 overs and hope for a narrow West Indies win v s Africa

True. I’d not factored in the Afghan element to it.

Must be hot there. Can see Rashid trying to squeeze in 40 winks.

Balls or overs? ;)

I'm guessing there's worse places to watch cricket!

I think if we beat USA in 10 or 11 overs, given that’s what West Indies beat a similar score by in (ish), and given we only lost narrowly to s Africa and beat West Indies with 2.5 overs to spare, then I’m assuming a narrow West Indies win v South Africa MIGHT have us winning the group?

Watching the England cricket team is a pleasure compared to the footy team.

A decent power play (say, 40 runs for 1, maximum 2, wickets) and it should be a formality to knock off the runs in the required time. Butter vandalising a solar panel on the roof of the stand!

I might have been a tad overly cautious there!

Watching the England cricket team test card is a pleasure compared to the footy team.

Fixed.

Bed at 10pm. Up at 1:30am. Back to bed at 5am. Up at 7am...

5 and a half hours of sleep.

Sounds doable.
