Binnys at the ready, It’s time to spend a month listening to old white men on the wireless
Should be an absolute belter, could probably make a decent argument for 8 of the 10 teams to win it. Favourites will be England, India and a resurgent Australia.
Literally no chance of England embarrassingly capitulating this year

More polls, chat etc. welcome. Kicks off with England - South Africa today at 10:30
I’m off to watch Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan on Tuesday. Wasn’t expecting much from it but I watched the Afghanistan v Pakistan warm up game and it was surprisngly entertaining. I’m on #teamafghanistan I reckon, they seemed a likeable bunch.
Managed to get a free ticket for England v Afghanistan. Assuming it’ll be an embarrassing defeat for England or we’ll get 500. And nothing in between
I can only imagine how focused he’ll be after a year with nothing to do but focus on making thw bigg3st of scores. No bad runs of form to recover from. Terrifying.
Can’t stand it myself. The one and only reason it’s in this format is because of India. If it’s a proper knock out tournament and they get knocked out early then the international viewing figures collapse because India fans tend to only watch India and they are by far the most numerous. So the reason why we don’t have more teams (Holland!) and proper knock out all or nothing matches is down to this. Grrrr.
