Should have abandoned that a lot sooner. Oh well.
Commentary highlights included Alex Hartley not knowing what a window was, discussion about the numerous British words for rain, moaning about the length of time it takes umpires to do anything, also getting covers on in Australia vs. Sri Lanka, and several references to 'The Magical Rope', which amused me no end.

Well well well, an early surprise in the World Cup as Namibia beat Sri Lanka by 55 runs!

And it was a lot closer than I think anyone expected between the UAE and Holland. Another 10 runs on the board and I reckon the match would have gone to the UAE.
Always pleasing to see the second tier nations giving a good account of themselves, and though this is far from my favourite format, I think it provides great exposure for the game in general.

And Scotland have just pulled off another shock, walloping the West Indies!

Good result! I'm watching the Eng v Pakistan warm up, behind closed doors by the looks of things?

Does Zimbabwe hammering Ireland count as an upset? I'd say so. Been a really fun tournament so far.

Great result.
The commentators were saying the unseasonably cold conditions in Tazmania favoured the Scots.
But it didn’t help the Irish very much.

And the Irish thrash the Windies to dump them out!
Scots need to beat Zim to go through, match in progress....
..Scotland looking a bit light on runs unless they have a wild last 4 overs, still have wickets in hand but need to clear the ropes a few times...

Played NZ, great watch that match. Eng up and away, I think the Ireland game next week could be a cracker?

It's David Warner though. My sympathies for him are limited.

Yes, he needs to take the rough with the smooth and not (sand) paper over the cracks.
