2019 ICC Cricket World Cup

[Toretto]

Kicks off tonight with hosts England taking on South Africa. Saturday night will see the biggest upset in World Cup history when Afghanistan beat Australia!

****** are celebrating the start of the tournament as well:

 

[Toretto]

Tournament favourites England absolutely destroyed South Africa in last night's opener!

 

[Toretto]

Pakistan destroyed by The West Indies in last nights game at Trent Bridge

 

[Toretto]

Afghanistan take on Australia tonight at 10:30pm (Aussie eastern - 1:30pm local time). Would love for a. Afghanistan to beat Australia and b. for them to win a few games during this World Cup. For all the atrocities that this country has and continues to go through, some joy for the locals would simply be awesome! Want to see at least the 1st innings of this game, so will be a fairly late night and caffeine +++

 

[Toretto]

Sri Lanka in all sorts in their game against New Zealand. Will be lucky to make 150!

 

[Toretto]

Sril Lanka all out for 136 in under 30 overs! Afghanistan batting first against the Aussies

 

[Toretto]

The Afghans are all out for 207 in the 39th over. Kept attacking the bowlers despite losing wickets at regular intervals. Aussies won't have much trouble chasing this down, so my night won't be as late as I was initially expecting. Having said that, Afghanistan have two talented spinners including the world class Rashid Khan!

Upset of the tournament so far with Bangladesh beating South Africa overnight

 

[Toretto]

Big upset with Pakistan beating England a few hours ago

 

[Toretto]

Afghanistan just went down to Sri Lanka. In a rain affected game, the Afghans had a modest total to chase, but kept losing wickets and were eventually bowled out.

 

[Toretto]

Australia v West Windies from Trent Bridge starts in about 5 mins. Expecting high scoring and lots of short pitched bowling. Will watch the 1st innings as the Aussies are batting first, but not going any later than that!

 

[Toretto]

After a more than shake start, the Aussies settled to make competitive total of 288. Our bowling was superb bowling the Windies out for 273

 

[Toretto]

In one of the biggest games of the tournament so far, Australia take on India tonight at 7:30pm Aussie Eastern (10:30am local time) at The Oval in London. One of my favourite cricket grounds around the world!

Overnight England demolished Bangladesh

 

[Toretto]

India beat Australia by 43 runs overnight. Barely watched it! Had the radio on in bed but fell asleep in about 5 mins

 

[Toretto]

By 108 runs which is very pleasing to see.

Looking forward to the Ashes in August?

You bet I am!! I absolutely adore the English cricket grounds. Such tradition. Would love to do an England Ashes tour. I have another 4 years until the next one!

Play starts around 7:30pm here, so I'll at least watch a session and a half then retire to bed and listen on the radio. Jonathan Agnew and Allison Mitchell have the most amazing voices!!

 

[Toretto]

Australia beat Pakistan by 41 runs overnight!

 

[Toretto]

England easily accounted for the West Indies overnight! Tonight Australia take on Sri Lanka and on Sunday, it's the big one between India & Pakistan. Really hoping the rain stays away. 3 washed out games already!

 

[Toretto]

Australia comfortably defeated Sri Lanka overnight

A list of their wins in the past too.
Again congratulations to Australia. I hope they win it all this year too.

1 billion people around the world tuned in to the India-Pakistan game overnight. Beats the moon landing which had approx. 550 million. India won comfortably!!
