I told ya GAF loves cricket.

England 1/49 off 8 overs. An OK start.

 

[Papa]

What happened to the old cricket thread?

Why is no one tipping the Saffas for the semis? Rabada is a gun and so is David Miller on his day. Too bad de Villiers retired though. Thought I saw Dale Steyn out of the World Cup with an injury (because of course) but turns out it's only the first game thankfully.

It's still in the community section.

Most tipsters have them in the mix.

 

[Papa]

Welp, so much for my prediction of the Saffas being a threat

 

[Bullet Club]

Yep, they bombed out. England's score looked about 40 runs too low but I guess not.

Looking forward to tomorrow's blockbuster match?

Are they going to have a spinner opening the bowling? That would be cool, like last night's game.

If they bat first it should be over pretty quickly.

Jeepers, the Windies smashed Pakistan.

 

[Papa]

Better bring back Boom Boom.

 

[Bullet Club]

Afghanistan 2 wickets down already.

 

[Bullet Club]

Afghanistan have recovered well. 2/49 off 12.

 

[Bullet Club]

They got to 207. Better than I thought they would do, especially after being 2 wickets down after 9 balls.

 

[Bullet Club]

Good start by Pakistan. 0/67 off 9 overs. Hopefully they give the Poms a big score to chase.

 

[Bullet Club]

Sith Ifrica are struggling big time against india. 4/80 off 20. Faf out for 38.

 

[Bullet Club]

 

[Bullet Club]

Australia batting first.

Bravo out for the Windies.

First ball was 5 wides. Now there's a free hit no ball. 9 runs off the first 3 balls.

 

[Bullet Club]

Warner and FInch gawn. Jeepers!

2/26

 

[Bullet Club]

Coulter-Nile 92 off 60 balls.

His highest score before today was 34.

 

[Bullet Club]

 

[Bullet Club]

Aussies batting first at Lords.

It's a nice 33°c over there.

 

[Bullet Club]

Australia 2 for 13.

Uh oh!

Edit: 3 for 14! Oh dear...

England won 2019 WC .

 

[clipperslipper]

I'm not a fan of cricket but fuck that was a good final. Tense at the end. Well done England.

 

[Panda1]

FUCK YEAH
EN-GER-LAND!!!!

 

[Bernkastel]

New Zealand should have won. England won because of stupid ICC rules.

 

[Starlight Lotice]

Incredible game last night even if England would have lost.

I hope we see more of these games in future!

 

[Bullet Club]

Ireland smashing the Poms!
