ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
It's stupid. They absolutely must have 2 games a day during group stage4s.
Teams in some cases have around a week's break between two games. That's too much. On an average, each team has 4-5 days gap. 2 days gap between games is sufficient in ODI cricket. Commercial reasons looks to be the biggest factor in group stage dragging on for a month like this. Ideally group stage should have been done in 20 days at max.
Seems like it was BCCI's grimy hands at work. Its ridiculous scheduling really.
Oh boy.. Had no idea that the group stages are going to go on for a month.. Thought they would be done with them in 3 weeks max.. Think Ill lose all the interest in the world cup by then. Maybe having an Indo-Pak match this early was not a good idea..
On the plus side all Indias matches are on the weekend right? BCCI makin dolla dolla bills ya'll
The scheduling is dumb. Kiwis will have played 3 games before most teams have played their 2nd game.
Should be 2 games on every day for the group stages.

India rule cricket basically
Day 6: Zimbabwe vs UAE
Remember the world cup before last, the matches werent great and it seemed like that world cup lasted for 4 months with the way it was dragging.
Zimbabwe vs UAE. Is anybody actually watching that?

I lost interest before the thing started,
I may regain it, should NZ or SA look like they have a chance.
Either there did have been 2-3 matches a day or there should have been 4 groups. But as we've already discussed, there are agendas.
Only interested in it slightly, and that's only for gambling 
Off to the 'caketin' tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
I am the world's least patriotic sports fan, but have always enjoyed watching the England cricket team.
Tomorrow, I suspect the NZ cricket team will wipe the floor with them.....

So disinterested in these matches that I haven't made changes to my fantasy team in two days.
Day 7: New Zealand vs England - Southee and Baz assault (NSFW)
lol england
Southee on fire today.
Yeah
Gota few quid on New Zealand so it's entertaining to see us get smashed.Bat first or second England will collapse.NZ look around team in the tournament.
But still, England showing no fight. This is quite sad.
Horrible innings from Broad, ffs man.
Embarassing from England. But great to see Piers having a meltdown.
Root the only one showing balls.
Edit: as I say that

Got your edit in too fast!fecking terrible. All he had to do was to hold one end up and give Joe Root the strike. He's been a captain for England.
haha yep. But still rings true
Look at that scorecard
TBH, KP would have actually helped.
England
The Kiwis look excellent.

What a display. Near perfect from the Kiwis. And Southee...What bowling.

England need to finish this game and get straight back on the fecking plane! absolutely embarrassing
He has a proper hard on for Peterson but it's hard to disagree with him, that was one of the worst batting displays i have ever seen, fecking shocking.
Cracking stuff from NZ. tbf, England were not expected to win both of the opening games but the manner in which they lost first and will likely lose this will be bad for confidence. I still think if they regroup and play naturally, they can beat all others in group, including SriLanka and finish 3rd.
Srilanka will be tough, but others are beatable.
I'm not even 35 and I've seen shocking displays from England. But it's always funny to have Piers Morgan have a meltdown. It's true that it's one of the worst though
I like England cricket team, but it's tough not to laugh at them now.
McCullum just destroyed Broad
You should be sat where i fecking amI'm not even 35 and I've seen shocking displays from England. But it's always funny to have Piers Morgan have a meltdown. It's true that it's one of the worst though

FFS, Mccullum is just rubbing it in now.
48 from 17
This just gets even more brutal for England.
This is embarrassing.
