Hi all, I know the game of cricket doesnt mean much to Amercian audience and almost all of Europeans but this game is still big deal.
For Indians its like their religion . Same could be true for Australians and English audience as well.

So which one is your favorite team then. Any predictions for finalists ? I am of course rooting for India

Yeah a lot of pressure on England this time being No1 ranked team in the world.
Looked good today without being great, Archer is the secret weapon with the ball. Just need to hold there nerve in every game. Come on England.
Also Fancy Black Cats to do well but not too well hopefully

I'd like to see Afghanistan team win one match. I saw an interesting special on cricket with the ICC and BCCI and how BCCI really runs the cricket world now....

Should be a great tournament.

I didn't manage to get tickets when they came out but hopefully I'll get to a game.

I do have tickets to days 1-4 of an Ashes Testso can't complain too much.

Mmm, England specialise in international draftees
Jardine (Captain)
Strauss (Captain)
Pietersen (Captain)
Morgan (Captain) Current odi player
Cowdrey (Captain)
Dexter (cap’n)
Greig (cap’n)

Joffra current odi player
Trott
Ben Stokes current odi player
and so many others

In total, 107 players born abroad have represented England, of a total of 736 players ... they are averaging one South Africa born player alone in the team every 18 months since Andrew Strauss in 2003...

Is their any other team in the last 50 years who has relied so heavily on cricketers from other countries to get the job done? 😀

Afgansitan team actually has some really good players. They play every year in the IPL ( Indian Premier league) in India against bests of the world cricket. They are minnows in world cricket but can give the shock to any of the teams 😀

I used to watch matches on Hotstar. They have phone app as well.
