If D/N games and also Australia didn't exist, the timing of world cup matches would be perfect for the US's east coast.

That would be the least benefit to the world

The person who "designed" Cricinfo's new layout needs to be taken out the back and shot.

Every sports website I go to has, over the last 3-4 years, had a couple of redesigns each and in each of them it introduces more blank space and reduces the readability and amount of content. And they probably cost tens of thousands.

England pro stats here:

1. England are Brave English Lions except a few of them like the captain
2. No other team has as many BELs

Ergo England will win

They would have smashed 111 off those last 53 balls if those dastardly pro [opponent] umpires hadn't robbed them of victory on the [random poo poo tailender] dismissal Seriously, we should focus on that, because apart form that lovely decision, England were far better than [opponent]. E***They even got a hat trick!!!***

Next thing you know they will want DRS gone. Interchange England with India. loving crybabies.

Anyone got access to England's Advanced Stats Computer Database? Wondering if this score is par for this pitch or not

"275 is par" is all I've ever seen England say about what they should be aiming for. It's insanity.

Check out the Economy tab for some lols at Dernbachs expense. (Because he is an expensive bowler)

Sure sure when the IPL comes around you want to be expensive, but when it's the world cup? This is just partisan England bashing and I won't stand for it

England's traditional Trott era style of play is, with revised targets for how much big hitting you should do in the last 15-20, the template for this tournament. England were just too much ahead of the curve
