I think that as long as England win and Scotland lose, then it doesn't matter if it is a close game or not.

You would think that success for the Usa would be big news in the US.
But no. I have not found any mention of cricket in US media. Adding the fact that it is on minor US pay TV means cricket has little chance of taking off there. Strange as it has similarities to baseball but without the boring bit.

Looks like England are out.
Who's idea was it to have the World Cup during the Caribbean rainy season?

There's still time for a reduced game if they get on to the pitch before around 10 UK time.

2 more overs to constitute a game.
3 balls in near enough confirmed the winner .

Kudos to Scotland 
They've played well in this tournament and took a very good Australian side to the wire.

They looked better than England and could have gone through if they had won our rain interrupted match.

Fairly meaningless as they're both already out but Pakistan are hammering Ireland currently.

Is that one of the factors deciding who goes through? Or is it an additional award at the end of the tourney, like Fair Play medals?

Whilst the weather has wreaked a bit of havoc / lottery element, have 20 teams I think has been a success. Scotland gave England and Australia a real run test and who know what would have happened but for for rain in Sco vs Eng, and USA and Afghanistan have dumped out test playing nations and a lesser surprise of Bangladesh putting out Sri Lanka.
Bring on the Super8s.
You would think India and Aus have too much firepower for Afgh and Bang in group 1, but group 2, Eng USA SA WIndies, looks very open.

USA nearly pulled off another shock against SA.
Shame nobody cares about the tournament there. Or cricket. Even with the money ploughed into MLC it's going nowhere. It may gain a small following but won't ever get close to even collegiate levels of support or participation.

England appear to have woken up and pretty easily beat the WI.

Yes that's a bit more like the England we were sued to seeing

I've often thought they should be sued for claiming to be cricketers.
