South Africa buss a 428/5 (DeKock - 100; Mackram 106; Rassie108) in 50 overs against Sri Lanka who are struggling right now at 120/4.

Good thing WI did not qualify.

[Dizzy28]

Pretty high scoring WC thus far. Good for TV except for all the empty stadiums. BCCI really dropped the ball on ticketing

[Dizzy28]

Was wondering when more than one game per day was going to happen.
Today had Eng Bang which is done and SL Pak.

As much as the Chennai pitch for the India match was rated "Average" by the ICC I kinna liked the struggle both sides faced. Not every match you wanna see a 350-400 score

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Kusal mendis in some form...

[Dizzy28]

I thought Afg was looking good for at least a 300 score.
Now 260-275 looking hard.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Sharma making up for the last game atm

[Dohplaydat]

Sharma making up for the last game atm

150 strike rate too, he should make a 150 by the end of it

[Dizzy28]

NZ bought Kane Williamson back for today's match against Bangladesh. After his injury in the IPL it was thought he was out till next year.

Now he 30* in a chase of a modest target.

Modern medicine is amazing.

[fokhan_96]

Big match today...
Ind vs Pak

[bluefete]

Big match today...
Ind vs Pak

Not so big.

Pakistan - 199 all out. / India 136/2 - 20 overs

[killercow]

Ind vs Pak

Not so big.

Pakistan - 199 all out. / India 136/2 - 20 overs

Pak felt sorry for us (WI) and decided to represent. From 155/2 in the 30th to 191 all out.

[fokhan_96]

Yea Pak do a WI.

[DMan7]

Allya should just be grateful that WI not in this world cup. Nuff said.

[Country_Bookie]

IOC gonna vote on inclusion of T20 cricket in Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. Means Trinidad could have the opportunity to qualify and play as a national team on the world stage. Too bad most of our T20 stars are already pensioners dribbling on themselves.
Only Nicky P might still be around by then.

There was an article on cricinfo where the ICC would only recognize the top 6 teams in the world to compete in the olympics

[Dohplaydat]

If only we was there, windies woulda lick down every body, but ICC racist

[Dizzy28]

Afghanistan have England on the ropes 119-5 chasing 285.

Can we see the first true upset today??

[fokhan_96]

Eng do a WI today...
Imagine Afghanistan played their first ever ODI in 2009 ... now just 14years later they beating Eng in a world cup match.
Meanwhile WI cricket

Upset boy!!!!

As much as i would like India to win. I believe that the proteas could take it this time around

[Country_Bookie]

Quota system does always hold back SA. Can't afford passengers in the team at this level. I would love to see them win but now they even have a passenger captain.

In other SA teams most notably test wise I would say this but of a best SA white ball XI is any of the non white players truly not deserving a place?
Who stands head and shoulders above and can displace Rabada and Ngidi?
Bavuma in the past year has been one of if not their best ODI batsman.
Maharaj deserves his place and IMO the only player always perplexes me by is continuous selection is Shamsi
