England have beaten WI easily by 8 wickets and Root have made another century. England are going strong and playing the best cricket and one of the good contenders for this world up to be in finals . Today’s match was all round performance by England team .

Their batting performance is very good and they restricted the WI batsman to score low target for chasing. Till now ENG is showing their dominance in this world cup and in the coming matches we might see more good batting from the ENG team.

Rather than the good performance by England, it was the appalling performance by the West Indies that caught my attention. After performing well during the initial one or two matches, they are back to their usual ways. The fighting spirit was completely missing from the WI team. After the fall of the first 2-3 wickets, their batsmen played as if the match is already lost.

England played a great game easily beating the WI and boosting their NRR to sit just behind New Zealand on the table. Australia have a chance later today to go top if they win against Sri Lanka and boost their NRR. So far the only teams to not be effected by the rain are England, Australia and Afghanistan which just shows how much the weather is playing a part in this World Cup.

This tournament is turning out to be poor due to the weather playing its role in many matches and to not even have a ball bowled makes it even worse. Not sure why they scheduled the World Cup at this time of year, they should of at least started in in July or August as the weather is much better in England at that time of year. I know that there are the Ashes in August but still I think they have the timing all wrong for the World Cup. It also gives teams that ain't playing due to the weather an unfair advantage to the teams that have been able to play, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I am also against to this world cup scheduled. ICC should about this and need to postponed at least 1 month from started date. Just kidding that this world cup has two teams. One is among all cricket team in one place and another player is weather. Roll Eyes

No team can not defense weather . Weather is playing with its speed. Grin

West Indies played some disappointing cricket today, all credit goes to England for winning this match easily. Root performed very well with the bat and deserved his century, also all other England players were outstanding on the pitch. Performances like this is the reason we all keep saying that England, is the top contender to win this year’s World Cup.

Have Fun )@@( Stay Safe

Since there is nothing interesting to talk about the matches let me tell that the innings Warner played against Pakistan where he was not connecting the ball and still went on to score a century reminded me of the innings Saeed Anwar played against India, where he was struggling with his fitness before even scoring 50 runs and yet he went on to score 194 runs and during that time i thought he would score the first double century in ODI history but Ganguly and Sachin was the main players who shut down his conquest for double century, not sure who took his wicket as it happened more than a twenty years ago but both of them were involved with his dismissal.
Seen more world cups than any other user here in this forum i guess and this is by far the most matches without any results in the history of world cups.

It is getting real.

ICC should refund the ticket price to the audiences for the past abandoned matches.
Audiences bought tickets to watch the match, not rain. Rain can be enjoyed from home I guess.

Does anyone know anything about the refund policy of ICC?

AFAIK, ICC refunds them 100%.

World cup organizing committee should have taken prior measures about the weather conditions. Continuous abandoning of match will cause a problem, because according to the table each and every team will play equal number of games, but the team which gets opportunity to play a d if won reaching the top of the points table will be much easier while the team getting equal points need to take extra efforts for the same.

Finally the suspense over between India vs NZ and rain has again cancelled the match in Bristol and this is hat trick for Bristol that 3rd match in the WC has being cancelled on the same venue. So will India vs NZ happen in this WC in Semis or in Final ?

The rains will be over within the next 2-3 days. After that the weather prediction is mostly clear. But due to the large number of washouts so far, ICC might have incurred significant losses. They could have added reserve days for the matches, in order to avoid that. I don't know why there was so much resistance against this idea.

The more absurd rule is about the semis and the finals.
If the match is abandoned in semis, the team with higher position in table advances to finals and if the final match is abandoned due to rain, the trophy would be shared by two teams.
So, we are likely to have two world cup winners at once. I've been watching Cricket world cup since 2003 and this is the worst of all world cups I've known.

They have a "reserved day" so that situation may not arise but we can still see rain affecting the matches and a win or loss by D/L method.

I might be wrong but I think today's game was due to be played at Trent Bridge, which is up in Nottingham.

Looking at the table and the games left it could be possible to see an NZ v IND knockout game, I'm leaning towards NZ, AUZ, ENG, and IND being the top 4.

Dammit another match rained off Sad

The total for the most abandoned games in a CWC was only 2 before this year, and now we are already on 4.

If they had planned the tournament for July instead of June they could have guaranteed some better weather, and as a bonus, also avoided the impact of key players leaving their domestic teams in the middle of the IPL for CWC boot camp training.

Anyways on to tomorrow's match between England and West Indies (if we get a game Wink

). Both teams have strong batting lineups. Despite the windies slight edge in bowling performance this year I'm going to have to go with England for the win; they seem more well-rounded and cohesive overall.

- Root total: Over 37.5 (1.92)
- England top bowler: Stokes (7.20)
- West Indies Top batsmen: Gayle (3.55)
- Team with highest score at 1st dismissal: West Indies (2.02)

^ That last one is based on the England top order batsmen showing some inconsistency in the first few games - looking at you Bairstow and Roy! Wink

Again another match affected by rain and that too an important match for both teams. I am hating the rains now and I don't want India to lose the important 2 points as it can happen again that matches will get abandoned. It will be worse for the chasing and bowling team as even 20-20 overs will be a big challenge.

The problem with the current format is that in case the match gets washed out, then both the teams will be getting 1 point each. That's so unfair to the stronger team. Imagine Australia vs Sri Lanka match getting washed out and both of them sharing 1 point. It will be very unfair for the Australians. I would rather prefer the stronger team getting 2 points and the other team getting 0.

The more absurd rule is about the semis and the finals.
If the match is abandoned in semis, the team with higher position in table advances to finals and if the final match is abandoned due to rain, the trophy would be shared by two teams.

Australia scored 307 runs against Pakistan today. They all out within 49overs, shame. Pakistan is looking decent until now, 124-2. Pakistan needs a solid partnership to make this match interesting. If Pakistan wins today, they will be one step ahead of qualifying Semi finale.

Pakistan did bowl well in the end to restrict Australia to 307. They start batting carefully but lost their way in the middle overs. They would have been in a better position if they had shown some responsibility in batting. From here, only a miracle can make Pakistan win. Cry

Yes, Pakistan restricted ausis in the final overs but Pamistan failed to bat and score the runs. Ausis performed very well even in batting and their bowling but Pakistan loose their match against ausis.
