    Pakistan are an embarrassment. They got into a really good position against India and **** themselves. They also lost their 1st game to the mighty USA.

    Hey SFO, aren't some of the US Baseball teams coming over here to London, to play some games.
    I don't know if this sport will ever take off properly over here to be honest. And remember they even called it jolly boys rounders, on an episode of Only fools and horses. :D

    I believe the Mets played the Phillies this weekend in a 3-game series at West Ham United’s ground.

    Also Sfo, I see the Nfl London/England fixtures have been announced for next season. And it really angers me that Jacksonville have been given TWO games this time, not just one, over here.
    What do their fans think of this ehh, being forced to come over here every single year, by some Nfl Uk pratt!. :eek:

    I don’t follow NFL as closely these days as I used to. I wouldn’t be happy if it was my team every year. Having said that, they keep playing NFL and MLB games everywhere these days: UK, Mexico, Australia, Asia, to name a few.

    talks!

    Both were close, bit it does seem as though they've lost a bit of backbone/mental toughness whatever, this tournament. Just seem a bit lacklustre somehow compared to how they usualy are.. Doubt they'll qualify, because I can see USA getting at least one more point and India are top.

    Can't understand why a tie in a group game is not one point each.

    Am I right in saying that England are a rained off game away from getting knocked out?

    Yeah, all for opinions. Pretty sure Blast game ties are a point apiece in the zonal games, just seems fairer to me.

    Yes but thankfully there is no rain forecast all week for our last two games. Win them both convincingly and hope Australia thrash Scotland to make sure our run rate gets us second.

    Can Pakistan beat the debutants Canada!? Anoher close match yesterday with SA narrowly beating Bangladesh and I think this will be similar!

    Love a good run out! Pakistan look like they've been working hard on their fielding!

    Looks another low scoring New York game. Hope it's another low scoring entertaining game. It's been refreshing compared to the IPL with 200s chased down regularly.

    In other news Azeem Rafiq has a book out in two days....

    https://www.theguardian.com/sport/a...ve-britain-i-never-started-this-to-be-popular

    I was thinking of getting it until I saw even on Amazon it's £17 for 200 pages!!!! Usually you want to be paying around a tenner for 300 pages.

    Good knock by Aaron Johnson. He's putting himself in the shop window for franchise Cricket.

    As an Australian, I’m feeling sorry for Namibia. I want to win, but I don’t like embarrassment.

    Nepal vs Sri Lanka rained off in Florida due to very heavy rain. The other games due to be played there are in danger with the forecast. People thought it was wise to give them games during tropical storm season.

    It's a shame because Nepal are an emerging nation and likely be the next Afghanistan to come give the test playing nations a game.
