We'll be on the same plane. Noustie was last seen dancing around a caber with two umbrellas.

I appreciate it’s the same for everyone but when a competitions decided by weather and postponed games there has to be change.
They either need to
- Have bank days for games that have been no results. - Choose a host that isn’t in a rainy season.
We’ve basically been knocked out because we lost to the Aussies in a tournament of 4 games.
Don’t think we’d have won it but to get knocked out because of 2 NR’s is nuts.

June is the start of the rainy season in the Caribbean. It is madness hosting a World Cup at this time of the year. The problem is, if they had scheduled it earlier, it might have meant India having to move the IPL.

They could end up finishing this in August at this rate.

There is a bank day for semis and final only I think or maybe just final. It’s a farce

The whole tournament has been as poor a spectacle as I can remember.
Crap games, crap pitches, empty grounds and the weather ultimately deciding who qualifies from the groups.
You fear that there’ll be many more like this going forward as the IPL continues to tighten its grip on the game.

Curran and Jordan in for Jacks and Wood.
I’m sure there’s some logic to those changes somewhere but I’m struggling to find it.

Can't get into this t20 world cup at all. Terrible crowds too. Nowhere close to as interesting as the 50 over world cup or test cricket.

It’s been a shocking tournament already in every way. Ramshackled empty “stadiums” if you can call them that. Very little in the way of promotion of the sport, just crap. Anyway I’m out, what’s the score?

Its so painful to watch and the lack of mental ability required is just tragic. I'd be interested to know the viewing figures of this tournament comparitive to other major sporting events.

There is too much of it, with other countries using the same idea and then that Hundred bollocks someone over here came up with. I’ve not watched much of this tournament because of the match times and being on holiday for a good chunk of it but what I saw was no good. The first Windies match, the place was empty. The weather makes cricket slightly farcical in all formats too but it’s how it’s dealt with that makes it much worse. This tournament has felt like it’s been thrown together last minute.

Awful isn't it. As you say, too much money in it although I find it difficult to believe they can be making too much from this tournament. As touched on above by badge it's a dire advertisement for the game. T20 stuff should be kept to a few beers on a Thursday or Friday night and limited to the county game/franchises only. It shouldn't be anywhere near the international game.

5 dropped catches could it be the Ausies are trying to rig this.

5 dropped catches could it be the Ausies are trying to rig this. I just saw the score and thought "it doesn't look like they are trying". Long way to go and they are still on track so let's see. I can't believe the Aussies would deliberately lose. If it had been a run rate thing, I could see them manipulating that in some small way but to deliberately lose? I don't think so. They should not be scared of England.

They should not be scared of England. I don’t think it’s a fear thing more a rivalry thing where they can tuck us up. I think it’s fair to say they’ve never been beaten by Scotland and after Hazlewood’s comments people will be asking questions. Let’s hope they prove me wrong.
