What's is that spray everyone gets sprayed with when they're injured on the field?

Glad to see Afghans are batting solid - run rate is a bit low, but if they can bat their overs, it might pick up at the end. I'm pretty sure this will be Sri Lankas game but (happy to be proven wrong later today)

I'm enjoying Australia getting their asses kicked here - most unlikable team next to India.

Sri Lanka choking to replace Watson at 3.

Strong start from England so far - has anyone got some press on their terrible losses lately? I do know they're vicious on their sports teams - I can only imagine the grilling they've been getting.

Apparently it's all organised based on how long it takes for the TV people to break down, move and set up their gear.

If this is the case - I can only imagine how much they're cheaping out - You'd think it'd be cheaper to have maybe a WA/SA team, VIC/NSW team and QLD/NZ team to run with this? A lot of equipment is already located in the areas...

I can only imagine the bullshit that must go into every other sporting Cup.

Insert gauffy commentary by the 90s bafoons.

So, Scotland batting first in contrast to all the other minor teams? Is this a Scottish 'gently caress you' to the ICC or an Australian 'want to go home early' move?
