This Ashes series has been awesome. Bazball strategy is worth all the hype and more, first time I am watching test cricket and enjoying it. If every team employed bazball style of play test cricket would be much more popular. The current England team is one of the most entertaining cricket team ever. Shame match 4 got rained out... England robbed of a win.
England 282 against New Zealand in the opening match of the Cricket World Cup. Exciting stuff but I expect New Zealand to chase this down. Then again I'm biased.

Blackcaps make it 3 wins out of 3. They're pretty much locked up for the semis with another 2 wins.
The biggest game is today though: India v Pakistan. As an Aussie I would love to see India choke but looking Pakistan's weak bowling lineup India is going to have a run feast.

It's my first day.
Look all I know is this Iceland Cricket account has some really on fire tweets about the WE... I do love them giving shit for being technically ahead of the Aussies despite not being in the world cup. 
India smashed Pakistan this morning. Just really poor batting all around in Pakistan's innings.

Nasser Hussain said it perfectly: A collapse only Pakistan could manufacture 155-2 to 191. These blokes have mental block when playing India in WCs. England v Afghanistan should be good one. We could see the first upset of the tournament
I would very much like to see Afghanistan upset England.

The poms do have a history of being a part of upsets in WCs. They've lost to the Dutch, Irish and Bangladesh.

England is getting hit with a rude reality that their bazball approach isn't really cut out for all conditions. Besides they should have opted to bat first after winning the toss as Afghans don't have the ability to chase.
Every world cup
The South Africans look like world beaters and start finding ways to lose
There rugby team is the complete opposite
It's insanity
Transgender women have been barred from playing in international women's cricket
Transgender women will not be allowed to compete in international women’s cricket. The International Cricket Council says the “new gender eligibility regulation” has been imposed to protect the integrity of women’s cricket and was also made on safety grounds.

USA-Ireland rained out, so the USA advances since they don't make up abandoned matches. Pakistan is out.
In their final 8 group the USA has unbeaten South Africa, unbeaten West Indies and either unbeaten Scotland or England.
That should be that.
