Thank you to everyone that helped me understand Cricket today.
I think I gathered enough knowledge to truly enjoy what is happening in games from here on out.

So not only did England beat Australia, they just about beat the bigger enemy: the rain.

In 2011, Pakistan beat them in the final game of the group stage and forced them out of the top spot. They had to face india who knocked them out in the quarter final. it was beautiful. But this kind of thrashing feels much better. lolI feel bad saying this living here but nice to see the Aussies lose and not be contenders for the WC for once.
Now go Kiwis! You can do this!
Imperious stuff from England today. Was certain we'd be going out, as the Semi's seems to be our natural position in World Cups right now. Aussie bowlers are going to be seeing Roy in their nightmares all the way until the Ashes.
Looking to the ashes what 4 seamers go, obviously Anderson and Broad, then you imagine 2 of Archer, Woakes, Curran and Wood, though I can't imagine woods would get picked.
Woakes and you can't leave out Curran because of his performances with the bat. Jofra just misses out and no Wood because it's a miracle he's managed to get through the World Cup without breaking down.
Even if you think Australia are incredibly awful, England still lost to SL, PAK and AUS so what does that say about them?
They are basically a minnow at this point. They might win the toss, slog and get lucky for a while, but England are basically this tournaments equivalent of Kenya.
Fun to dream they might somehow win, but realistically they'll be lucky to remember the game is on.
Go England. Only time we ever win stuff is when we're the favourites and ranked number 1 in the world.
The only reason for that is the one year suspension Warner and Smith got. They only came back in March.People forget how bad australia have been in ODIs up until reasonably recently. They can be very happy with their performance this world cup.
One more thing, the World Cup should never take place in England again. They have the wackest pitches, plus it rains every second day.
Even New Zealand's playground sized fields would be better.

Archer and Wood won't play the Tests.
Edit: Archer hasn't played much first class cricket, it would be asking a lot.
Roy - perhaps. I imagine the Ashes will be a tight affair. I could almost see Bairstow and Roy opening if Foakes continues with the gloves (but that would be harsh on Burns).
Pleased about the result today - and Sunday will be on free-to-ait TV. #fucksky
