I would have plumped for Aus as favourites and probably the best new ball attack but each to their own

(They would be more justified talking up the depth of their batting)

TBF it wasn't that long ago that Guptill was the best batsman in the world.

Half of the tickets is the Immigration Dept doing visa checks

The Manus Is and Nauru guards are doing the commentary.

"FOURRR...a would be excapee has crashed into the razor wire fence....."

Bangers being extraordinarily careful against the Ghanis, and paying the price. Currently 4-119 in the 30th.

by skully Wed 18 Feb 2015, 05:50

And in a boost to the Sheep chances of finishing top of group A, our game v Bangers on Saturday is looking like being hit by a tropical storm deluge.

by skully Wed 18 Feb 2015, 06:55

Mushy Rahim looks very much like Mahela at the crease.

by skully Wed 18 Feb 2015, 07:17

Pretty good effort by the Ghanis in the end as a clatter of late order wickets sees the Bangers dismissed for 267.

Hounds capitulating here... 3-3 after 3. That score's the same in either English or Aussie format!

by Nath Wed 18 Feb 2015, 08:02

ah FFS!

Surprised the score graphics on screen are in English format for this WC anyway, unless they're broadcast country specific these days...

By English format you mean every country apart from Australia?

And Snoozia presumably?

Guess India has the final say these days anyway, and Aussie score format will soon go the same way as the eight-ball over...

Think Snoozia is the same saw rest but depends if you view it as a country.

SA also had the eight-ball over.

I didn't realise that... slightly before my time.

If they'd all stuck with that then guess we'd be seeing Fifteen15 cricket in half the cricketing world now!

Wheeling down eight-ball overs for South Africa v England at Durban in 1956–57, he bowled 119 balls in the first innings followed immediately by a further 18 in the second without conceding a run, a test and first class cricket record.

Must have been fun to watch.

Yeah, Blowers went into full rain-delay bus spotting mode on TMS, and Sky TV switched to showing a replay of the Bodyline series after even Bumble failed to inject any enthusiasm into the coverage...
