Murphy's Law comes into play - bugger.
This is the next rung down on KW/Rossco/Boult getting injured. Not fucken good.

Yeah we don't have the depth to cover any injuries really. Latham has been in really good form in the middle order of late.

Agreed. Our top team is brilliant but a couple of injuries and we look fucken vulnerable and unproven.

England has been running up some massive scores. If the pitches are roads it will probably suit us.
Our boys can slog away with the best of them - and if all bowlers are cannon-fodder, the fact that most of ours aren't as good as what some of the other teams have won't matter as much.

I am less optimistic about our chances when the Aussies can afford to leave Josh Hazlewood at home.

@mariner4life That makes me more optimistic! Would have been one of the first names on my list if I'd been choosing.
How many Marshes did they squeeze in?
Heard Neil Manthorpe on the radio picking a final four of India, England, NZ and SA. He thought the weight of expectation will sink England and India in the semis and he was predicting NZ to beat SA in the final.
Delusional really.
I'm predicting Australia to beat someone in the final - probably England if I'm pressed.

England are really fucking good at this format now, after being a joke 4 years ago.
India are really fucking good at this format period.
Australia never go away. (i can't believe they didn't pick Hazlewood, that's an insane selection decision).
I would be astounded if we won a semi. I think not making a semi would be seen as a failure. Any more a success.

Guess Blundell will slot in at five and we hope he turns into Hairy Javelin 2.0

In a one-off game, we have enough firepower to beat anyone - but any of Australia, England and India would likely be strong favourites against us. Winning two play-off games against such opposition - that would be astounding! However, until the tournament gets underway we won''t really know. One of the favourites usually falters - let's hope it won't be us, despite our somewhat rubbish preparation to date.
It's a pretty strong World Cup this time around - Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies - any of those could do well.

Trying to imagine the final won by Oz with Davy Warner jumping in the air after scoring a 100... the winning runs scored by Steve Smith..
What a great redemption story that would be. Wouldn't it be wonderful. They could make it into a movie....
Try to make me be sick in my mouth!

FFS.... Why couldn't the Marshes be the ones serving bans for crimes against me?

That's a pretty dark storyline for a movie, dunno if Hollywood would go for that. If you pull it off it's an Oscar winner for sure.
Maybe Bollywood would treat the subjects more sympathetically? -

If someone could play the character of David Warner in a sympathetic way they would deserve an Oscar for sure.
