125 in the end, DLS-adjusted. Pretty good, not amazing, but a good recovery from a horrible start. And the sun's out! Get out there and get through five overs and it's a match.
No-balls don't help! Not clever.

Why has he gone off? Is he bored?

either that or the rest of the team were bored with him
i didn't know you could do that in a competitive game - i have read somewhere that ian botham was once sent out after the fall of a wicket with instructions to run geoff boycott out so as to get the scoring going

New rule. You're allowed to retire a batter out. I don't mind too much, but you should have to pay for doing so with a run, imo.

Rubbish game really. But job done.

Well that was a bit close for comfort. Aus need 89 off 7 at one point apparently.

Yeah, well played Scotland. They can consider themselves a little unfortunate - getting an excellent start in the rained-off game then going out on NRR is rough. In the end, England got the luck.
Shame the England match couldn't be completed. Losing matches to the weather always plays havoc on tournaments with small groups like this.

England have W.Indies, S.Africa and USA in their group.

That's also lucky. They should fancy that. My money is still on yet another Australia-India final.

19.5 overs: Pakistan 111-7 (Babar 33, Afridi 13) Afridi seals the deal with his second six of Delany’s over, rescuing Pakistan from another self-inflicted slump. Holds his nerve with two huge blows, dropped in between by Stirling at slip who can’t hold onto a flying edge.
1 ball left? Great performance Ireland has to be

Yeah it does introduce a big element of luck doesn't it. Harsh on Scotland to go out but would have been equally harsh on England.
On the other hand though the smaller groups do ensure there's that element of jeopardy and if you're a smaller team you actually get rewarded for pulling off a big result. Think I probably prefer it to the neverending group stage in the 50 over WC.

This is just wrong, on many levels.

Cheating Sack of Shit David Warner has a bit of a cry about everyone calling him a cheating sack of shit just because he's a cheating sack of shit:
David Warner looks forward to avoiding 'flak' over sandpaper scandal
Australia batter David Warner says he is looking forward to avoiding "flak" over the ball-tampering scandal once he has retired.

Didn't watch it but I gather that was a satisfying win for England over WI

Good win on at a stupid time so none of us saw it. England's next two are both 3.30pm our time, first one on Friday v South Africa.

Why do early games like this show as a result for today? They're behind us, so the game must've started yesterday, no?
What time did that match start locally?

8.30pm.
If you're on about cricinfo, it's because they localise their site to your preferred country. I think you (and I) may even have ticked a box many years ago to do this, but I might have imagined that.
