Its One Day Cricket you big Jessy, Boycott needed to bat 3 days to get to his 50 ffs. |
At least England could have batted out their 50 overs. Boycott on 10 not out, and Root would have had a partner, so he could have gone on to make 100 |  |

England v Scotland today
I apologise to the England cricket supporters here, but come on, it would be funny if Scotland won, wouldn’t it? | |

They've got no chance on the Aussie pitches, might have a chance of a win or two in New Zealand, but that'll be their lot quarter finals if they're lucky. |
What odds on India now??  |  |

If this was the football World Cup, the media would be saying that the English campaign to win the cup is back on track. | |

Sky are treating Scotland as a foreign country and England the home nation. |  |

The times are not great but there are too many crap teams, it's taking an age to get to the business end of the tournament | |

Why don't they play two or three games a day and get on with it?
Doesn't it go on until the end of March? |  |

Yes & yes, it's way too stretched out | |

I can understand the ICC wanting to promote/develop the game in the minor countries, and I have no problem including them. They could expand the competition further by having 16 teams, but split them into 4 groups, with the top 2 going into the QF. The bottom 2 team in each group can go into a minor competition, similar to the rugby 7s. We’d get to the meaningful games a lot quicker then, and provide a meaningful competition to the minor countries.
Even in the existing format, why it’s spread out so log is baffling. NZ played their first 3 group games in 1 week - as they would in a ODI series, so no problem there, but then play the next 3 games spread over 3 weeks. This is cricket not rugby, they can play a game every 3-4 days, no problem. | |

It builds the 'tension'. Someone on this thread said it ends in March. Is that Marck 2016 by any chance? I quite like cricket and enjoy having TMS on, but I can't get into this tournament at all. |  | | |

Well that schedule is just crazy, 1 game pw for 3 weeks. I Agree that they should be splitting the also rans into a lesser competition | |

Tournament should be ten teams, max. England, Aus, Windies, NZ, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and a qualifying tournament to get three more from Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and the associate countries. |  |

Unless... Gayle hits 300 | |

De Villiers isn't human. |  |
