Hazelwood has mentioned how it would be a good thing if England got knocked out and they have talked about it in terms of the Scotland game.

I respect the hatred but wouldn't that class as match fixing?

It’s not match fixing. But there is a specific rule against gaming the standings in ICC competitions to fack over a specific opponent.

Difficult to prove, though. Australia would be within their rates to rotate their side due to already topping the group, and argue that Scotland won, or lost within a run rate that saw them through, on their own merit.

Pakistan to make a meal of this then?

Pity. The one game Azam Khan would've been useful.

couldn't make a meal to save his life...he'd just pick until it was all gone

Not only is the whole situation ridiculous, to be facked over by the weather and how the fixtures are scheduled, it's just a completely Spursy aka pathetic mindset for Australia to have especially after they've just beaten England.

Yeah but to them:

I suppose they'd just have to not make it obvious.

If they need 5 to win from 30 balls but take 3 overs to do it for example, might look a bit dodgy

Wicket 1st ball

Go India

Yeah that’s true.

4 wickets for Arshdeep

Even if it is America, 4-9 are incredible numbers.

He's having a mare

This bowler can retire now. His career isn’t getting better than that.

Kohli’s got five runs this world cup.

India doing a Hazelwood on us ffs

Rohit gone now!

Pant gone for 18.

Pant gone. If India win this it will be a narrow victory so USA net run rate won't be that badly affected

NRR won’t matter anyway.

USA will beat Ireland, plus our game against Ireland is under thread with weather.

I think USA v Ireland is also under threat with weather.

Scheduling games in Florida during hurricane season is not the best planning lol

Dropped him.

USA been penalised 5 runs.
