Playing in wet field is more dangerous to fielding side imo than batting side. Wet run up and wet ball can be nightmare

India being India. Who knew...

This documentary cemented my belief about how the game is fucked.

Gotta keep India in no matter what.
Disgraceful to come back so quickly.The problem for the ICC was Bangladesh were in front on DLS .Having said that in the short format surely we dont have to lose overs,Think people would rather see a full game.

Pretty much like the Aussies they have to keep them in it, batting first and scoring well over 200 then bowl them out for next to nothing in their last game giving them a good run rate

He probably had money on India.

This is supposed to happen in the semi-finals, South Africa.

Shock horror, Aussie bat first ?

Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bowl something not right there. Been saying on radio all day here the most important thing is for Aussies to win the toss and bat, low and behold they get that option given to them. Stinks
Still in our hands

Some scores to watch:
Aus 150 - they need to restrict Afghanistan to 87 to overhaul Eng run rate
Aus 175 - they need to restrict Afghanistan to 113 to overhaul Eng run rate
Aus 200 - they need to restrict Afghanistan to 139 to overhaul Eng run rate

and then hope that England lose or there's no result.

EDIT: Actually England could still win in a close game and go out, the margin of victory England will want in this game will be under 50 so they can forget about run margins.
