2 unbeaten teams in the final so we can't complain. Yet if we had got 25 in the last 3 overs against SA, it would have been us playing Afghanistan in the first Semi. Well beaten in the other 2 losses today and against the Aussies
Would be nice to see SA get over the line on Saturday but India are looking good |

It showed the over on twitter/X & there was literally no-one at the ground watching. What a day that would have been, just a pity they didn't get over the line.
Well done Lancs. Like DA says, odd that we had such a bad start & doubtful we can finish higher than 3rd. Surry up first after the break for the 100 so hopefully we can finish the current set of matches with a win next week |

Absolutely lashing it down in Guyana. Meant to improve later in the day, but India go through if there is a washout. June is the main month for rain in Guyana with approx 24 wet days oduring the month, so the decision to switch the Semi's around and not leave an extra day available for this one seems weird. |

India in the Semi so it will be a tough one. I think the Guyana pitch is usually a low scoring one, but both teams have batters who can score on any pitch. Bumrah for India and Rashid for us could be the key difference makers. Rashid our player of the tournament so far IMO |

South Africa style choke today. After being behind most of the innings, a brilliant Brook/Livingstone sets us up with 25 to win from 18 balls with 6 wickets remaining and 2 set batsmen. Somehow we blew it.
Open group now and if West Indies beat South Africa it could be 3 teams on 4 points with run rate deciding it |

First complete performance of the tournament for us. Always in control, and that over where Salt cracked 30 was the highlight along with Rasheed’s bowling. Crowd went from party to funeral atmosphere very quickly, and started leaving well before the end. Win tomorrow could put us in the semi before the USA game |

Our super 8 group is with South Africa, USA, and West Indies. Quite favourable with both teams you mention in the other group with Afghanistan and probably Bangladesh. |

Seems to have been a new innovation that hasn't worked. Grown the pitch in Adelaide, shipped it to the States then transported to New York by truck. Clearly something has gone wrong as they were meant to be hard true pitches.
With Scotland hammering Oman, we need 2 amazing results against Namibia and Oman and hope the Aussie/Scotland game isn't rained off. we are miles behind on Run rate. Antigua is apparently the driest of the Caribbean island so hopefully we get full games. However playing the World Cup as the area is transitioning into the rainy season seems odd but I assume the IPL stopped it being played a month earlier |

at 313 for 3 it was certainly on the cards for a defeat. Last game before the break is Warwickshire at home, and they haven't won a game. It would be good to double up wins & could move us up 2 or 3 places |

Finally a decent day if not brilliant. Really need to secure a few wins, although watch stokes hit 150 runs tomorrow!!!
Regarding the below, as long as profits after tax and all 1 off items are significantly positive and cover at least the interest payments, I don't think that loan is unmanageable |

Our last 6 home games are against teams 10th, 15th, 19th, 20th, 23rd and 24th. If we can’t get a decent haul from those game then we deserve to be relegated !!! |

3 Wickets and economy rate below 2.
Decent 1st innings score, odd in that 1 player gets over 200 and no-one else gets to 40. Does it means it is a good pitch but 10 players played poorly, or is it a tricky pitch but 1 player had an unbelievable innings? Hopefully the former.
Need to at least equal their score which with our run rate that could be early tomorrow. 100 lead would be ideal. They say day 3 may be the best for batting on the commentary I was listening to. |

Absolutely. It will be the equivalent of 1 section at old Trafford with 90%+ having no intention of causing any bother. A Saturday game v another Tuesday evening ensures a better crowd & atmosphere. No reason this can’t go ahead.
EDIT: Unless they put the Barnet game there instead !!!!
Edit the Edit. No the Barnet game isn’t on then, my error. No reason the Altie game can’t go ahead [Post edited 24 Jan 18:39]

It does look odds on the Ravens v 49’s. However the Mahommes/ Kelce partnership woke up against the Bills and would probably need to do the same against the Ravens for it to be close. The KC defence has shown it can deliver too.
If there is a shock I think it could be the 49’s having an off day especially is Debo is injured. Purdy has been very solid but can have the odd bad day. The lions defence against the pass needs to step up. I think Detroit could do it with the offence they have. However I would still put my money on a Ravens/49’s SB |

Home and away against Fylde who are second bottom, then Home against Kiddie who are bottom and home again against mid table Wealdstone after a 2 week rest
Not much danger of us finishing in the bottom 4 so this is a golden opportunity to build some momentum for a run at the play - offs. I know there are no guaranteed wins, but you can’t ask for a better run of fixtures. Should be targeting 8-10 points from those games. |

Also said that the 50 over format had become less relevant these days. Wasn’t saying that 4 years ago when we were winning it. |

Mark Butcher on the Wisden podcast said it could be the worst defence of a world title in sports history. Might be a slight exaggeration but I know what he means. I watched it yesterday, and as some pointed out earlier, you can’t believe what you saw. Every player over 30 years old, the first time ever in the World Cup and only the third time in any ODI. Apparently the experience of being there and having done it before was the big idea. Back to the drawing board !!I think we need to say goodbye to a number of these players & have Buttler back to being just a player again.
I fear for us against India, although it seems we still have a 4% chance of qualifying according to CricInfo !!! |

FFS, one of the most spineless efforts ever on a good batting pitch. Thank god for the final partnership of 70 otherwise we would be bottom of the table on run rate. Have to win all the remaining games to definitely go through, tough with India, Aussies and Pakistan in there. |
