Seems like spectators struggled to get into Trent Bridge, some queued for more than 2 hours & missed the start of play, match finishing early due to Pakistan's awful innings didn't help either

They have just shown the Stokes catch on the Belgian news,the first time I've ever seen them mention cricket here.

Fancy West Indies to do well in this WC

Can see them in 4th

Have a nice blend of fast bowlers and power hitters

Nice day here in Cardiff.

NZ have won the toss.

Pitch looking a little green...

Thought it was Australia losing to Afghanistan today. Have we got a double header? Something to pass the time at least!

Bloody hell.

The Sri Lankan national anthem was so long that I need a rest.

New Zealand get an early wicket, looks to me like their seamers might get some swing today. Wonder what a good score will be?

missed it today but I quite like it!

the NZ gear is quite boring.

Sri Lanka need to bat out these overs and try and get a score above 250. This pitch isn't exactly a featherbed, although I do expect it to even out more during the afternoon. This is an old school scrap for the batsmen and I fear that they're not quite up to it.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #413 on:** June 1, 2019, 11:42:43 am »

SL are going to finish bottom of the table.

Yosser0_0 · « **Reply #414 on:** June 1, 2019, 11:46:40 am »

Bowlers have done well the last couple of days - great to see a contest between bat and ball.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #415 on:** June 1, 2019, 12:25:13 pm »

Well, 7 down. Looks like I will be back in plenty of time for the CL final

voodoo ray · « **Reply #416 on:** June 1, 2019, 12:32:51 pm »

at least they scored more than pakistan managed yesterday I guess.

vagabond · « **Reply #417 on:** June 1, 2019, 12:34:45 pm »

Haven't seen the wickets, are they a result of bad shots or the green pitch?

See another ball thumped stumps and bails didn’t come off

Twice in three games already when I hadn’t seen it for years

I'm not sure they've been hit as hard as it's been made out. both looked like just glancing blows to me.

But they did mention about it happening in the ipl as well. fuck knows what the weight of these zingers are compared to 'standard'

They didn’t flash today I noticed

The replay I saw looked like the bail jumped

Unlucky whichever way you look at it for Bowler

Some lovely shots from Rahmat here for Afghanistan. Hope he keeps it up and makes this an interesting game.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #427 on:** June 1, 2019, 02:51:45 pm »

Well that didn’t live up to my hopes!

Back to watch the CL now

Zampa goes for 22 in an over, very nice over from Afghanistan.

Utterly ridiculous from Afghanistan on that shot, it deserved to be caught. They needed to keep that partnership going. 160/6 after 33.1 overs.

Chakan · « **Reply #432 on:** June 1, 2019, 04:18:51 pm »

any stream for this?

Afghanistan could and should have got quite a bit more in the end.

Yeah horrible game management at the end, could have easily got 250+ and made a real game of it.

Chakan · « **Reply #436 on:** June 1, 2019, 05:21:33 pm »

Australia are going to do this in 10 overs

How come India didn’t play Bangladesh today? They don’t have a game until Wednesday?

Chakan · « **Reply #438 on:** June 2, 2019, 12:48:38 pm »

Might be a quick world cup for SA.

The North Bank · « **Reply #439 on:** June 2, 2019, 12:52:29 pm »

I see Bangladesh winning this game. Without ABD there's nothing to fear in SA batting.
