Woah what's this, a post in the cricket board? Lots of the day to day discussion will go on on discord, but for those wanting to write out anything which won't get lost in matchday discussion, here's a place for it.


First game tomorrow so let's here it. Predictions, leading run scorers, wicket takers, what headlines will we see. Go for it below.

Poms going ok tonight.

But I’m a romantic. (Although the wife doesn’t think so!)

Aussies to win, S Smith to get most runs. Australia’s hero again! Bit worried they’ll drop Smith down to second drop though.

I think we just just confirmation that Kohli and India are the best in the world, sadly. To me India's seam bowling is as good as it's ever been, so if they were ever going to win a WC outside of India this is the one.

Will this still be catch of the tournament.  Will be hard to beat. Despite not being an England supporter have to acknowledge this great catch and great all round performance by Ben Stokes,

Off to bed. NZ 241-8
Reckon England should get there. 60/40 chance favouring the Poms.
