Re: Cricket
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.

Remember England have had terrible winters before and then come the summer they suddenly become a different team so there is always hope.

Re: Cricket
India 307/7 (50 overs)
South Africa 177 (40.2 overs)
India win by 130 runs.
Top 4 in both pools:
POOL A
1. New Zealand
2. Australia
3. Bangladesh
4. Sri Lanka
POOL B
1. India
2. West Indies
3. Ireland
4. Zimbabwe
2 fixtures from Pool A tonight:
Afghanistan v Sri Lanka
England v Scotland
If we can't beat Scotland then frankly something needs to change quick in the England camp.

Re: Cricket
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..

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

Re: Cricket
Well its the same old England again whether its with the bat or ball and sadly this time its their bowlers who are rubbish.
