England playing like an associate team in this tourney.
Hales and Ali should be opening the batting, imo.

That full form of ECB is awesome. Excuses and Corporate Bullshit. 
Finn 2 overs for 49 runs
KP this KP that.
Move on from him. England need a rebuild from the structure up but that's not a mutually exclusive with bringing back Pietersen. He's nearly 35 and would probably have walked as it doesn't fit his schedule. Remember when he wanted to not play in the home tests against NZ because of IPL.

Agreed - the team selection, tactics and bowler order/ rotation all needs looking at. Having said that, the 11 out there vs. NZ should have put up a better fight.
Should still make the QF's if they pull their finger out and beat the lesser opposition, but that's as far as they will get!
I want to laugh so hard but holding off till our match on Sunday, knowing fully well that India is capable of pulling off a similar stunt against South Africa.
Still, England - haha.

Just saw the result. Last I checked it was 100-3 ffs
Nah, South Africa wont collapse as pathetically as England did.
Some of those deliveries were top quality!
Kiwis have a lovely balance to their whole side.

Hard to get excited for these games thanks to the joke format. The big games mean nothing; as long as teams beat the minnows they book a spot in the QFs.
That's the good thing about cricket. I can genuinely lol at any team without worrying about Karma.
Insane when one handed mishit shots are sailing across the boundary rope for six, but heh that's what folk want. Anyway, NZ are a fantastic side, their bowling is the best at the world cup. As for England, surely that's the worst performance ever by a Test playing nation.
Boult is awesome, but SA have the better bowling unit.
Will be interesting when they play each other in the KO stages. I think the NZ seamers are a breath of fresh air.
Yea.
Boult's the best left arm quick since Akram, IMO.
Not a lot of them.. who does that give us? Johnson, Zaheer, Vaas..
Just been reading his wiki page, apparently he's a massive Akram fan, which isn't surprising. As for others, there are a few in the game but Boult is the stand out.
Big game tonight for Pakistan. Really have to win this or we'll be in a bit of trouble.
Aamir would've been the best of the lot if he didn't feck about with illegal activities. Boult is fantastic though.
Pakistan seems to produce more left arm pacers than anyone else.

That's well up there with the worst. In my lifetime.
Pietersens loving it despite trying to hide it, as he should.

Day 8: Pakistan vs West Indies
Misbah is such an outrageous captain. Why the feck would you bowl first on a batting track? Does he think Irfan/Sohail are Southee/Boult?!
fecking fat cnut.
That's a simple catch. Useless.

That's how you do it! Well in Wahab.
Nice!! Decent start from Pakistan.
Sohail's not the quickest but has good control.

The 3rd umpire is a disgrace. Clear conspiracy.

So that's not out and the Akmal one from last game was out? Good game umpires.
The decision may have been right, but I'm surprised there's no hotspot. Real time snicko is good, but for decisions like that, hotspot would've helped.
Umar shouldn't be WK. Another drop 
Come on!! Another drop
Important wicket. Now wrap them up for under 240.
Finally Samuels gone. About time. Needed to break that partnership.
Windies batting has been poor, this pitch is a bit slow but they should be rotating the strike more. Looking for the big shot too much.

Afridi ffs.
And another drop.... Do they even practice catching?
Sad for bravo. Hope he's ok, batted very well.
Fat bloke is still not back on the pitch?! That's Younis as an opener yet again ffs.
Yep, very annoying. Younis just isn't an opener but there aren't any other options for them to move up the order so he'll have to do a job.
They really should've played Sarfraz instead of fat bloke. That's a regular WK, decent opener and would have meant Akmal as a fielder (him, Shehzad and Wahab are the only good fielders in this team).
