England sets the mark at 311. I didnt think they batted that well but will be tough to chase.

England gets it done! Expected a little more from SA to be honest.

How about this rout of Pakistan by the West Indies today? Pakistan are such a shell of a team compared to their colorful past.

On the West Indies side, Oshane Thomas looks like a future star. An out and out fast bowler is always exciting to watch.

West Indies beat Pakistan by 7 wickets

Be interested to see how Guptill does against SL. Seems like I remember NZL doing well in England before.

South Africa goes down again. They are gonna need at least a split against WI and IND this week to stay alive.

This site never ceases to amaze me. Wasn’t expecting a WC cricket thread.

England are favorites but it’s a long tournament and a dark horse will emerge. I expect New Zealand and West Indies to emerge. India and Australia are good but I don’t see either winning out due to gaps and depth concerns.

Ben Stokes’ catch was almost OBJish. Admitted later that he overran it and plucked it out of the air but still amazing.

Keep in mind WI has a more frontloaded schedule which is the opposite for NZL. If it comes down the those two for the last spot

India have issues with their top and middle order. But Kohli can make all of that irrelevant if he finds top form. Especially if they’re chasing big totals.

England, Australia, India and New Zealand are my picks for the top 4. But it could turn out very differently because of the long format. A lot more parity this time around so anyone can win.

England just lost to Pakistan by 14 runs. Pretty big upset

Huge upset. Pakistan are the most unpredictable team in cricket.

Outside the two Sri Lanka games this week could end up being really good. The last two games were exciting.

I think SA will come out angry. India better be on upset alert.
