Yep, don't disagree. Hopefully the crowds will improve at the cricket! Just seems a bit odd that somewhere so keen on cricket has made a hash of the organisation so far.

South Africa post a WC record 428-5. Can't see any hope for Sri Lanka here.

Good tight game between Australia and India. Australia restricted them well at the start of their innings, but the shackles seem to have come off with Rahul and Kohli well in.

Knocked off without too much bother by India in the end. Shame Kohli didn't get a century, but once again an innings defining effort by one of the greatest going.

Going to be interesting to see how the Dutch respond to NZ's imposing 321, shame de Leede let them get 12 off the last two! It will put some sort of perspective on our performance for me.

When things started to wobble I reckoned they'd be reasonably happy to get within 100, quite pleased with my prediction!

I’ve just heard they are trying to get cricket in the 2028 Olympics.
Stupid idea. Professional team sports shouldn’t be anywhere near the Olympics.

A bit late for that, given we already have Tennis, Football, Rugby 7s.

It could be a way of trying to promote Major League Cricket? I posted about that in this thread thinking it was a daft idea (totally passed me by, along with most people I reckon, with an average attendance of around 3,000) but given how huge the Olympics is in the US this could give it a serious profile boost.

And none of them should be in it. I’ll add golf to the list too. And probably basket ball and baseball.

And, of course, cycling.
