I'm going to days 2 and 3 of this. I'm still unsure of who to support - which team losing would be funnier?

A tie if that's even allowed.

Less than 200 scored in the entire test and all run outs would be my ideal scorecard.

All seriousness though if there wasn't an Ashes right round the corner I'd want India to lose every day of the week.

So India to win if a tie isn't possible.

The result in itself wouldn’t be funny

Always aim for maximum waahhh as a neutral

Kohli nicking for blobs to first slip and dropping any that come his way, Starc and Lyon getting pummeled, another coach sacking for Australia, etc

2008 style race row to bring the entire WTC onto disrepute?

Couple of weeks out and it’s like ten days between posts for this game. Says a bit about how the match is regarded I suppose

Not sure about other people, but I'm really excited about it. There hasn't been much proper cricket happening so I think many of us have been absent here, but hopefully this will be a good one.

There's not been much news so not much to talk about it. I'm looking forward to it more than the Ashes, mostly because I think we have a bigger chance of winning.

The only real news would be Australia finally naming the maximum 15 man squad allowed by Sunday 28 May (instead of current 17 man squad)

At least we'll get to see what selectors pecking order is

I'm thinking it's pretty easy, Hazlewood and Marsh now under injury cloud so leave them out. They would then need to bring Neser in to cover so have him replace Harris (as Renshaw better top 6 sub)

I just read the winner of the WTC Final gets $US1,600,000 (losers get $US800,000)

No wonder Warner won't retire until dropped. Where else to get that cash for a couple of balls faced ?

Young talented player in intense competition with other young talented players chose to get married over touring with the WTC winning team and learning from the best. Wasted opportunity.

Marriages have been statistically proven to reduce batting average the longer they go on so this is overall not a wise choice from him.
