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.

All you need to know is as long as Australia are getting battered it's a fun time for everyone.
Tell your friends. Could do with some new nations involved :)
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. lol
i wonder if they will go back to being cunts again. this whole being nice and sporting appraoch doesnt seem to be working out for them.
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.
As a neutral I am pretty stoked for the finals. Whoever wins, we get to see new champions. Rooting for NZ though. :D
Whatever happens though, please dont be a one sided affair.

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.
I think there is no way they don't pick archer. It's unfair on curran and woakes but I'm positive one will miss out.
People forget how bad australia have been in ODIs up until reasonably recently. They can be very happy with their performance this world cup.
Those three 6's in a row that ended with the one that nearly went out of the ground...
Been rather on the edge of this CWC, but let's just say...
GET IN LADS WEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

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

For those who haven't followed England in ODIs since the last World Cup this was the England of that period. Bullying teams and absolutely chasing anything down without blinking. That was complete humiliation for Australia. Being bowled out on a flat brilliant batting track then their bowlers being thumped around the park.
Starc going for something like 8 an over.
That's the England side we've grown to love these past four years.
Can't wait for the final. I suspect New Zealand will be far tougher opponents though than the cheating Aussies who clearly don't have the bottle for the big occasion anymore.

The only reason for that is the one year suspension Warner and Smith got. They only came back in March.
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.

Honestly, reading some of the comment on here about the BCCI, I dread to think about WC there nowadays.
So salty. England are simply a much better one day team than Aus.
Ah these posts are so delicious in hindsight. Sumptuous.
Dear God man, leave and maybe a semblance of your pride will remain intact. The saltiness of your tantrum is raising my blood pressure.
Oof.
I think most countries would say that England hosting the World Cup has been a success, as is to be expected as we invented the game.
I think Archer might make it in, our current selectors are ones for bold decisions. Roy is a definite at this point, he's made himself irresistible. Foakes has already been dropped (I'm a massive Foakes fan by the way and would love to see him in the team again).
My personal 15 man squad would be Burns, Roy, Root, Bairstow, Stokes, Buttler, Foakes/Ali, Woakes/Curran/Leach, Broad/Archer/Wood, Anderson.
the weather has been fine from mid june into july, we had a bit of a freak event with all the rain at the start of june even by the standards of the English summer. It's a shame for Pakistan who were the most affected in terms of what it meant for their chances of getting through but the people who were ahead of them in 4th ended up in the world cup final so things kind of worked out in the end.
Apart from Edgbaston (and even that would be reaching), I don't think I've heard anyone complain that ECB had any influence over the pitches. Can anyone honestly say the same about the BCCI?
