[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[jakarta]

Seeing as I haven't covered myself in glory with belated cricket freds, here is one a few days early...

Who do we think will feature? I think England have peaked too early and quite fancy the Afghans to go a long way.

No doubt those bloody Convicts will still be there at the end...

England's best chance since 1992. Still a lottery, mind.

I'll run with an England v India final.

Tournament is still too long.

Why too long?

If you like a sport surely the longer the better? To a limit of course.

Too long but not enough teams in it.

Less teams in it than 20 years ago.

Christ on a Bike, hadn't realised it was going on for SIX weeks!

I might well proved to be wrong... but peaked too early ?

England have been playing outstanding 50 over cricket for 18 months now.

Not a great follower of cricket, although I was at the EP match yesterday, it's a lovely day out in fine weather, and have watched some 20/20 at Lords when Sussex have featured there, although I am one of the dwindling few that are purist and prefer the five day game. But how come there are less teams than 20 years ago? And what is this six week thing all about? Hardly a rugby type contact sport.

Off to see England New Zealand in June

I’m going to Eng v Windies at Southampton. Looking forward to it.

 

[Yes Chef]

Going to Bangladesh v Afghanistan at the Rose Bowl, queue for beer and pork pies likely to be minimal

Format too long, just hope the weather doesn't have too much of an influence, fully expecting England (in their horrible light blue) to fall short

 

[Albion Robster]

Missed the ticket ballot, anyone know where I can pick up any tickets (face value) for matches at The Oval or Rose Bowl?
Likely to be any returns a week beforehand?

 

[Billy Seagull]

I put in for all of England’s matches along with the semi finals and final. I was pleased to see I was successful in the ballot, until I looked closer and saw we only got tickets for England......v Afghanistan at Old Trafford Having a week ooop north around it so all is not lost

 

[Ernest]

Didn't realise it would take so long to get to the last 4, should have done a much shorter format in case the rain takes away some matches and they can be rescheduled

There are some tickets still on sale for the Windies game at Rose Bowl but it’s at the more eye watering end of the scale.

Australia now at full strength and have something to prove now, going to be tight between them, India, S Africa and England.
Would like to see the Afgans do ok for the owner of my local kebabie.
Looking forward to this, though a few late nights will come as a result
A welcome time filler till season starts again and diversion from the 'watching paint dry' type threads which will come.
Always the women's World Cup too

England vs Afghanistan at the Oval just started, what is all this about Morgan batting but not fielding - the perks Captains get these days!

It's only a warm-up game.
