			Latest results:
 New Zealand beat England by 8 wickets
 West Indies beat Pakistan by 150 runs
 Australia and Bangladesh shared 1 point each after match abandoned due to cyclone
 
 At one point, I understand Pakistan were 1 for 4.  Think it will be a tossup to see who is the worst team out of Pakistan and England this tournament.

 For those Aussie supporters (and England masochists) put these dates for the 2015 Ashes into your diary.
 
 8 - 12 July, Test 1.  SWALEC Stadium, Cardiff
 16 - 26 July, Test 2.  Lord's, London
 29 July - 2 August, Test 3.  Edgbaston, Birmingham
 6 - 10 August, Test 4.  Trent Bridge, Nottingham
 20 - 24 August, Test 5.  The Oval, London
 
 Shocked that Headingley and Old Trafford aren't hosting any Test matches.

 If we can't beat Scotland then frankly something needs to change quick in the England camp.

			Well at least its not just England that have big problems with South Africa given a absolute hammering by India and the Pakistan team also having lost their first two games.
 With England ever since they got rid of their best one day player it has been downhill ever since with a catalogue of poor performances and poor selections by a coach l never rated the first time around..

			And they did by 119 runs.  Something would have been badly wrong if they had lost that match.
