    24th Match - Ireland v South Africa

    Kob is a knob man I hope ab punishes him. Moaned his ass off when uae were taking to him and bowled so wide they were barely on the pitch and now this celebration when his team is getting killed?

    Team Changes

    I wouldn't drop him id just put him down the order. Hed still be a better finishing option then berhardien. It might do him some good. He won't have to worry about building an innings he could go hard from ball one.

    24th Match - Ireland v South Africa

    I could go with this and as a neutral I want to see SA have a good bat. Ireland probably have little chance either way so the idea of reducing NRR deficit and the fact that they seem more comfortable chasing makes sense.

    Under performing XI

    You say that like you think he doesn't deserve to be in the underperforming XI team? Don't get me wrong i'm a big fan of Ross and thats why his form is so upsetting. Ross is such a gun he can still get a decent score when he's in a rut but World Cup runs count for double for me and against...

    Under performing XI

    Minnow bashing a poor Pakistani team (59*+102*) inflate his stats a fair bit and he ran Williamson out in that 102* game and looked very poor for most of theinnings. Elliott lapped him in that 59* that was like a test innings.

    Under performing XI

    Even his decent scores have come at generally below par strike rates especially initially and put big pressure on the rest of the batting line up. Disregard anything more than 6 months ago as it counts for very little in terms of current form. You reckon he's been awesome do you? What do you...

    Under performing XI

    He can catch these days either, probably our worst fielder including vettori

    Under performing XI

    Ross Taylor should be the new captain of this team. Great things were expected, great things are expected and all he is doing is playing like a tailender. Can we swap him for one of the minnows batsman maybe the Arab bloke that scored a ton against the Irish? I'd like Chris Rattue to write an...

    Likely quarter final match ups

    It is unlikely you will play both NZ and Sa unless it is the QF/SF route and in that case you will play nz at Eden Park again. Not the worst option for NZ tbh. Kind of hope it goes that way, ideally though for NZ maybe *****'s prediction with Southee hitting the 6.

    World cup speed stats?

    I've seen him hit 96mph before so I know it is definitely possible. Even if the rest of his balls were only 147-149ish which is still bloody quick.

    World cup speed stats?

    Or just learn to use hawkeye properly

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    You can try to take something out of it but it doesn't mean you are right or wrong I suppose.

    World cup speed stats?

    Cricinfo does in hawk eye. They had Johnson at 92.8mph or about 149.3 kmph. Hawk eye is not 100% accurate but I never saw Johnson bowl 150. The commentators were going gaga like he did when he hit McCullum but it wasn't 150.

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    A lot of glum posts about nz's chances after this game. I don't know why, Starc was just awesome and the only reason it was competitive. The aussie batting was as clarke said pathetic. They only had a good start because Southee bowled one of the worst opening spells of all time. Aussie will...

    19th Match - South Africa v West Indies

    Should have brought Taylor on straight after Gayle got the double blow. Devilliers looks like he wants to get run out again.

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    Starc is not exactly a metronome though, he bowls a lot of pies too. The beauty of Starc is he bowls a ton of unplayable balls as well. He can be easily as wayward as Johnson can be. If Starc bowled 135-140 the batsman would have more time. He would not bowl as many unplayable balls and he'd...

    18th Match - Bangladesh v Sri Lanka

    The most pleasing aspect of this game for SL must be the improvement of Malinga. I give him a 2/10 for nz performance a 5/10 for his game against Afghanistan. This game by his standards would be a 6.5/10. His accuracy is improving every game and his speed was slightly better imo as well. Don't...

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    It really is because of speed. Johnson and Starc would be toothless if they only bowled 135-140. The way they bowl is hugely dependent on speed. Broad is the same, he's far better when he's bowling 145kmph +

    20th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    This is true, but Milne has been down on pace. Pre-Injury Milne was easily quicker
