Why are these two teams wearing white and gold? My eyes are hurting.
ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

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?
That's possible too. He did have a bad day but so did Southee. There's not much any bowler can do when a top class opening batsman hits the ball sweetly. That's unfortunately what cricket has become.
Never thought I'd hear a Pakistan supporter say that.
To be fair Pakistan need Indian help to progress. Beat Zim, Ireland and WI please.Never thought I'd hear a Pakistan supporter say that.
Penalty snot must be hating car cleaners/floor scrubbers right now. Banned in peace.
Why did NZ struggle to chase 150 again? Great bowling unit, though...
Can't believe we waited a week for this match.. Now one more week for the next one.. 
India V UAE?Can't believe we waited a week for this match.. Now one more week for the next one..
Ya.. Atleast NZ vs AUS was worth the wait..
Stupid time to have a break.
Cricket authorities need to allow some element of flexibility.

Second time it has happened.. Even in that NZ vs England game there was no need to take a break..
Did not expect the Aussie-NZ game to be so low-scoring! Looking forward to the highlights.
Group A is looking fun with only 1 win separating #2 & #6 teams. Would be terrific if Afghanistan managed to sneak into the knock-out stages.

That's unrealistic to expect. The bigger teams would get in top 4 eventually. The bigger teams are playing each other earlier and Aus-Ban washed out which is why teams are close in points. Eventually it will be NZ, Aus 1-2 and Eng/SL 3-4. Tomorrow's game is key. Whoever wins will likely finish 3rd.
Day 16: England vs Sri Lanka | Pakistan vs Zimbabwe
Why on earth are England persisting with Ballance? They should have Bell at no. 3 and Hales at the top.
Pedantic but I really wish cricket teams eventually get more variety in their kits. Most of the nations play in the same colours.
On the subject of kits, I love Scotland's and Zimbabwe's.
I've no problem with Bell, but the decision to drop Cook and replace him with exactly the same player (but in worse touch) is simply staggering.
Especially when Taylor did so well at 3.
They never learn. 14 balls and out. Pathetic.
Bell out for 49
101-3
101-3
Balance will be a star in both forms of the game for England but shoving him in here when he has hardly played in matches before the tournament is a bit stupid. Should have stuck with Taylor at 3 then Bopara or Hales in.
How Treadwell is not playing is beyond me when spin has been successful in the tournament.
The amount of leaves from England is pathethic, FFS, they should be looking for gaps.
England are so fecking boring.
Easy 2s being turned down 
One of Morgan or root need to kick on and start smacking it.
Warne talks a lot of shit.
That review
Well he did used to ref Premier League matches.
England have some good players who can play shots, but for some reason they are so slow in the middle overs and boring to watch. A bit like Van Gaal and his fecking possession philosophy, you feel England can up the tempo but are reluctant to do so until right at the end.
Pretty much the last chance tonight for Pakistan in the other game. Hopefully we show more fight and actually manage to win a game.

There's some cnut who's even shorter than Root. Root gets his 100
I thought the same thing. Perfect analogy.
They have stepped it up a bit in the last 4 or 5 overs though (I know they have to)
Good ton from Root
What a shot!
That doesn't look good for Herath.
That he does. Three Aussie morons ruined yesterday's fantastic game with their atrocious commentary. The commentators in the India-UAE game told me more about the Aus-NZ game in five minutes than Warnie and co.
Fecking useless fat guy is playing. Why not play Sarfraz?!
Didn't realise minnows Pakistan are taking on the mighty Mugabe XI. They don't stand a chance. But anything can happen in the World Cup.
Fecking useless fat guy. Gone already.
4/2 against Zimbabwe.
You lot might as well start at 0/2. Your openers are fecking useless.4/2 against Zimbabwe.
Pakistan 14/2 after 10 overs. Lowest score this world cup in the first 10 overs. Misbah doing his best to pretend this is Test cricket.
