We've got physio's now. Medical equipment's a stretch though.

Will that be the end of Buttler's captaincy?

Lost interest in 50 over cricket a while ago. Hardly surprising

Don't worry, the Proteas is due to choke.

They've lost so many ODIs lately they're probably due for a win.

England openers going full “we don’t give a shit, are you not entertained” mode. Brainless wafting. Sefrica are being a little sloppy in the field with bowlers giving the teapot and not getting back to the stumps for a simple runout, dropped catches.
Root once again being left to try and rescue the innings.

England seem so disinterested I wouldn’t be surprised if they just got on the bus to the airport at the change of innings and went home.

But I do like our batting line up. Ngidi probably the only one that can't bat.

NZ has a mental block against Straya and Sefrica are in good form. No matter what happens today we’re going no further than the semis.

Chasing 250. Will take that. The pitch does seem slow and hard to score on so the chase will be very interesting. Some awesome fielding from NZ today.

250 is a small target. Craps will do it.

The entire thing geared to hand the trophy to India, it's a wonder any of the other teams even bothered to turn up.

Waugh and Warne. Super-dodgy.
"The players were widely condemned by the media and public;
The sports community strongly supported the players"
Typical Aussie Cheats, supporting bribes given to their own.

I could never fathom why a booky would pay 2 different players on the same team for the same 'pitch and weather' information...

Kohli is some player, getting back into form (after a pretty ropey 2024) at just the wrong time for everyone else.
