312 to get, don't think NZ will get especially close.

Made me laugh earlier watching SA v Aus for a bit blatant commentary was a SA feed commentary said “this is the first time SA have gone into a WC as not one of the favourites” really you absolutely weren’t in the conversation in 2019 or 2015 at least .

 

[Tony Towner]

They were in 2015 and made the semis, had a strong squad still De Villiers, De Kock, Steyn, Amla, du Plessis, Merkel, Villander

 

[jd1981]

I’d say they were still behind Aus, India, NZ and we’re still outsiders in comparison to those three.

 

[Tony Towner]

We have a different definition of not in the conversation then

Yep they were outsiders but had a chance in the conversation to me means should and definitely could win it.

 

[Carrotdude]

Klaasen and Miller absolutely destroyed the Aussies today

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Travis Head confirmed broken hand too so probably out of the tournament for convict CC

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Had to be the way to go, you can't take someone who has that much of a fitness question.

 

[Tredman]

Can Brook open? Need backup option there.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, he can open. Or Root could if you wanted to go that way.

James Vince was our back up opener last time at the risk of triggering @Trips

 

[Tony Towner]

Root added to the ODI squad to play Ireland at his own request

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Tim "Meat Is" Murtagh retiring

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Middlesex bowled out for 121 against Warks inside 40 overs. Going to be a genuine scandal if they somehow stay up, an atrocious team.

Naturally, in reply Warwickshire lose their first wicket on 0

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

We're supposed to be playing Ireland at Headingley today but it's going to be a very much reduced overs game if we do get on the field at all.

 

[Kenny]

A few miles away and can confirm the weather is shite.

Rained pretty much non stop today and no signs of that changing any time soon

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

Let the rain in Div 2 continue for two more days [or brighten up sufficiently at New Road tomorrow for max batting points]

You already got a 12 point bonus yesterday. How much off field intervention do you need?

 

[North Shropshire Lad]

I must admit that was a bonus as given the fixtures left, I saw Sussex as the biggest threat. Still hope it pisses down though. Be nice to have a cushion to take to Headingley next week
