Nice result.

Well the Pakistanis just went down in the 5th ODI against the Aussies by 20 runs and the Aussies take the series 5-0.

Cheers.

England off to a good World Cup start
Fantastic one handed catch by Stokes. :-)

Well done.

Cheers.

Blooming muppets. Singles won't do it. :-(
England need highest run chase in WC history

Itchy bum time. Close but no cigar. :-(

“I say, you chaps, Middlesex all out for a hundred and five!”

Under Flack's pressure I became, I confess, a cricket humbug of the first class. I applied myself industriously year by year to mastering scores and averages; I pretended that Lords or the Oval were the places nearest Paradise for me. (I never went to either.) Through a slight mistake about the county boundary I adopted Surrey for my loyalty, though as a matter of fact we were by some five hundred yards or so in Kent.

It did quite as well for my purposes. I bowled rather straight and fast, and spent endless hours acquiring the skill to bowl Flack out. He was a bat in the Corinthian style, rich and voluminous, and succumbed very easily to a low shooter or an unexpected Yorker, but usually he was caught early by long leg. The difficulty was to bowl him before he got caught. He loved to lift a ball to leg. After one had clean bowled him at the practice nets one deliberately gave him a ball to leg just to make him feel nice again.

I can tell you 1 thing about this ODI World Cup, it's bad for my usual sleeping habits staying up until the early hours.

It's time for a nap.

Cheers.

Congratulations to Bangladesh for beating the West Indies in spectacular style.

Yes & they have a good chance to knock England out of the top 4. Eng last 3 games are Aus, NZ & India.

While it's still playing havoc with my sleep I've been keeping up with things.

I was surprised by the Kiwis' performance against South Africa (I thought that they should've done better than they did), but last night/morning's game certainly had some action packed moments.

Cheers.

Well last night's/this morning's game was a real shocker. :-O

Cheers.

Another good match was watched last night/this morning.

Cheers.

Close but we got the cigar. :-)

Went to reserve day due to rain but New Zealand stun India
