Well done to England for qualifying for the semi finals. Let’s hope our footballers have a similar response to a poor start.

Some knock that off Rohit, 92 off 41 balls against the Aussies He did well but when I see such a one sided (in favour of the batsmen) innings it doesn’t feel like cricket. It’s just a slog where if you have a big bat you can edge or miss time a ball and it will still go for six. That’s not someone using there skills with the bat it’s just about swinging it and hoping. Maybe I’m just old fashioned but there needs to be more of a balance. Is there a limit to the weight of a bat. It feels like there needs to be something done similar to tennis where it was turning into who serves the hardest.

Am I the only one hoping to see the delight of a double Scotland/Australia knock out? I aren’t much for India but we can deal with them in the semis👍🏻

They’ll be able to have a full day of national mourning the following day We’ve actually drawn the short straw with the semi-finals. If the game is washed out there is no reserve day and India will progress as they topped their group. The other semi-final in Trinidad does however have a reserve day available. I should add that the weather forecast for our semi in Guyana is looking great.

How bizarre to have a reserve day in one semi final and not the other, unless you want to make sure India are in the final of course 🤔

Special mention has to go to Afghanistan coach Johnathon Trott. Still a thorn in the Aussies side

Nice bit of skullduggery by Johnathan Trott signalling to Afghanistan team to slow it down as the rain was incoming. Immediately the Afghan Keeper goes down like he's been shot by a Taliban Sniper
Maybe we can pretend he's really South African after all
Coincidentally Frank Duckworth died a few days ago
Cricket is more corrupt than FIFA and yes you can blame BCCI for much of it.

Looking like the rain could put England out of the chance of cricketing glory .No time to replay so India go through if no play .Forecast is heavy rain .Farce
Extra day allocated for one semi but not the other 🤷♂️
