Predictions anybody?
I reckon Australia to win it with South Africa as runners up. NZ and England to make the semis.

Excellent, World Cup cricket has arrived...just a shame I won't see many of the England games due to the 3:30am start times.

**Lord Snooty** · 13-02-2015, 14:45

Was looking forward watching the match in the morning but for the first time this century I have been asked to work Saturday morning. Not turning that down. Smile

**themaclad** · 13-02-2015, 16:03

Us semi retired people will now have Monday and Tuesday morning TV sorted for the next 5 weeks

WakeyTerrier · 13-02-2015, 18:06

No Sky or broadband for me this weekend, come to think of it not even a telly to stare at so unless I watch it on my 4G phone it's a total non starter for me and I don't fancy watching it on a tint screen at that time of day

**St Charles Owl** · 13-02-2015, 19:01

God, I am so out of date when it comes to cricket!! But based on what I read on here and Snooty's excellent threads I am predicting an Australian victory on home soil, with England playing them in the final!!

**themaclad** · 13-02-2015, 19:41

Your right SCO you are out of date, England will not get past the quarter finals

**Lord Snooty** · 13-02-2015, 21:04

The thing with England is inconsistency. We can look like world beaters in one innings and dummies in the second.

Sri Lanka v New Zealand, Christchurch
New Zealand 331-6 (50)
Sri Lanka 233 (46.1)
New Zealand won by 98 runs
Scorecard

England v Australia, Melbourne (d/n)

Scorecard

England are getting pasted! We're looking at a score of around 350 to chase. Doh

Aus 342-9 (50)

The tide has changed. Finn takes a hat trick with the last three balls of the innings. We therefore keep the score down to 342. That should now be gettable.

Yeah, right. Wink
