    Good to see you're still about Mr Xpat. Sobering thought that the role was almost 20 years ago ....

    Back on topic - I'm wondering who is going to make the XI for NZ's first match.

    In my mind there's a good case to convert Tom Latham back to being an opener and play both him and Blundell. It's not like Nicholls or Munro has played themselves into compelling form ahead of Latham.

    Bowling against the Windies was largely a shitshow. I'm inclined to think that Henry may have played himself out of the XI, so maybe we will see: Guptill, Latham, Williamson, Taylor, Blundell, Neesham, CdG, Santner, Southee, Ferguson, Boult.

    Possibly worth considering Sodhi to take CdG's place - especially if there's any hint that spin might be a good option.

    Why would we pick Blundell ahead of Nicholls? Surely Nicholls has established himself in the team. I don't care what he scores in the warm ups. He has earned the right.

    Damn right. Nicholls walks in no question.

    Poms 1/1 after 2 balls. Tahir opened the bowling.

    Would have paid good odds if you picked him as first wicket taker.

    Not a happy start to the CWC for Johnny Bairstow!

    @hydro11 Not as an opener, I don't think Nicholls has. He hasn't come out and generated a compelling strike rate in any of his turns opening - in part, because they've kept giving Munro turns, so Nicholls hasn't been given a decent run. Whereas, before Latham got asked to open and keep he was doing a good job opening.

    Right now, we've got a bunch of guys who are undercooked - I say pick one of the few guys who's showing some form.

    For me the question is more who opens - Latham or Nicholls, rather than if Blundell plays. Though I'm prepared to concede that the selectors might see this differently. But, I haven't been impressed with our selectors or administrators in 2019.

    Nicholls should be at 5 if he isn't opening. That's what we should be doing anyway.

    SA must have watched footage of the 1992 CWC team and Dipak Patel opening the bowling

    This game shows how good England is. Lose an early wicket but keep on going.

    About the time I slowly started to lose interest in cricket as there was just too much of the damn stuff..

    @hydro11 proteboks haven't bowled that well. Tahir one over too many I think. When the line has been good, the length is ordinary and vice versa

    True but this outfield is very fast and boundaries aren't that big.

    Big double breakthrough. South Africa will be on top if they can nab another here. Their 4th and 5th bowlers have really stood up for them.

    Saffas 2 down, 1 retired hurt and very lucky on a shelled catch.

    Will the England bowling depth hold out though? Already Ali is going for nearly 7s

    South Africa 207 all out

    England win by 104 runs

    Highlight: Stokes with one of the greatest catches in the history of Cricket.
