Along with the current top 8 sides.

Group 1: Afghanistan, Australia, England, New Zealand, Group A winners (A1), Group B runners-up (B2)

I think Australia will win it, South Africa are my outside dark horse prediction to go all the way if it’s not Oz.

Namibia beat Sri Lanka by 55 runs in the opener somewhat of a turn up to say the least.

If England play anywhere near to their best,should win it easily!!

Netherlands squeezed past Namibia in the later game despite only chasing a modest 112 to win they nearly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory but finally got over the line with a ball to spare.

Ireland and Scotland tomorrow.

Yes it was no idea why I put Namibia.

Terrific win for Scotland beating the West Indies by 42 runs, every chance that they will qualify for the main event now.

And it's not out of the question SL and WI both miss out altogether.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Oct 17, 2022 7:48 pm

Ireland lose to Zimbabwe by 31 runs leaving their hopes very much in the balance.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Oct 18, 2022 12:42 pm

Wins for Netherlands and Sri Lanka today.

Scotland post a modest 132-6, however they have got 2 early wickets to keep it interesting.

Ireland won ........................ Party time

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 3:48 pm

Scotland crash out typical of them to blow it when it matters.

Well done Ireland who are now becoming a solid force in the white ball formats.

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Fri Oct 21, 2022 5:57 pm

The proper party starts tomorrow! Australia finally managed to sabotage one of their players to get Cameron Green in the squad. I’m going for Zampa to be player of the tournament.

When much younger, I would always support Scotland if they were in an International Tournament, notably the 1974 & 1978 World Cups ..

Now in my late fifties, four decades of anti-English bile from our Caledonian friends have taken their toll, so yes, f*** 'em ! They will have exited another World Cup at the group stage by 7.00am tomorrow morning, when their womens Rugby team will have lost by a margin to the " Black Ferns " of New Zealand, and will be returning to the land of Irn Bru & midges ...

Just realised, if Italy beat Fiji in the Rugby League World Cup tomorrow, that will make it 3 exits from World Cup Group stages in around 36 hours ....

NZ setting a testing target for the Aussies 200-3 they made, and they've dismissed Warner early.

Ashingtonclaret46 · Post by **Ashingtonclaret46** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 10:11 am

New Zealand have opened the Super 12 in a good fashion. Scored 200 for 3 in their 20 overs after getting off to a blistering start.
Australia are now 7 for 1 off two overs with David Warner swinging at a delivery, bottom edge onto the pad and then bounced off the pad, back onto the bat which was above his shoulder and then abck dwon onto the stumps. Most unusual 'bowled' I have seen.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 10:21 am

Finch gone cheaply, Aussies 30-2 after 4.

Ashingtonclaret46 · Post by **Ashingtonclaret46** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 10:30 am

Looking good for NZ in this one with Aussies 37 for 3 off 6.

ClaretDiver · Post by **ClaretDiver** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 10:58 am

Australia getting battered (pardon the pun!!)

SurreyClaret · Post by **SurreyClaret** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:05 am

Would it be better for them to go for it and lose wickets quickly, their net run rate could take a pounding this match?

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:00 pm

Always a pleasure to see the Aussies hammered.

England win toss and choose to bowl.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:15 pm

Wood strikes with his 1st delivery, 15-1 in the 3rd.

Wood bowling quickly again which is great to see.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:29 pm

35-1 after the PP.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:33 pm

35-2, 6.3 overs, Stokes with the wicket, but a brilliant catch by Livingstone to aid him.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:34 pm

Wonderful catch from Livi

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 12:53 pm

62-3 in the 12th, Sam Curran getting in on the act.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 1:08 pm

82-4 in the 15th, 2nd scalp for Stokes, and another stunning catch from Rashid this time.

82-4 ,brilliant catch Rashid.

91-5 Wood back with a wicket, brilliant catch by Buttler.

Thought this would be a tricky first game for England, not proving so at the moment.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 1:37 pm

112 all out Sam Curran has ridiculous figures of 5-10 from his 3.4 overs.

England look in the mood don't they which is great to behold even if it is very early days yet.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:10 pm

Buttler out for 17, 35-1 after 5.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:25 pm

52-2 in the 9th, Hales out for 19.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:41 pm

Stokes out for only 2, England 71-3 after 12, but the spinners are causing problems.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 2:53 pm

Malan the latest to go, and Livingstone has decided to get on with it.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 3:00 pm

Brook holes out and England making this chase tougher than it should be, 100-5 after 16.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Oct 22, 2022 3:11 pm

England win by 5 wickets with 11 balls to spare, Livingstone and Moeen seeing us home.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 23, 2022 9:41 am

Sri Lanka beat Ireland by 9 wickets.

India-Pakistan rather lively in the early stages in front of a huge crowd at the MCG.

Pakistan 35-2 in the 7th with both prolific openers back in the hutch.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 23, 2022 10:55 am

Bit of a recovery from Pakistan 159-7 from their 20, which with their strong seam attack gives them a chance anyway.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Sun Oct 23, 2022 10:57 am

Agreed. In fact I’d say that’s a damn good recovery after where they were after ten overs and having had their PP

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 23, 2022 11:39 am

India 31-3 after the PP, suddenly 160 is looking a daunting target.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Oct 23, 2022 11:42 am

4 down for India who are imploding here.
