They'll be dancing in the streets of Kabul, well, the men will.

Just hearing about the semi final regs, the incompetence of the ICC is only matched by its sycophancy towards India

No reserve day, India go through to the final if no play, colour me shocked.

India also had a predetermined semi final if they made it that far so their fans could buy all the tickets

More done for the telly I think. Match starts at 20.30 in India.

Yes, the TV in India, it's a ridiculous set up

When the match is rained off we will no doubt hear from the bores that it was our fault for not beating Aus in the group stages.

Afghanistan bowled out for 56, South Africa win by 9 wickets, on a 'spicy pitch'. Not the sort of conditions you really want for a semi-final. Thoughts on the competition so far ?

Good news.

Well first final for us after 7 semi final losses… I’ll take it on any pitch.. and it feel the scrappiest of routes compared to so many doninant but ultimately failing showings.

Not sure who we would rather face in the final. India and England both exceptionally dangerous

I have enjoyed the emergence of the USA but beyond that I think it's been a poor tournament .

The pitch in New York was terrible but the 1st semi final pitch was even worse.

The fact that there was a spare day set aside for the 1st semi but not the 2nd and in the even of a wash out India go through as the higher ranked team makes a mockery of the competition

international cricket tournaments are always a mess. They haven’t worked out a formula that fits best. Think they would be best doing a best of 3 knockout or something, given how much can depend on the toss.

 

[summerisle]

Toss delayed because of rain, which has stopped, for now.

If this is a wash out and India go through, I can see my head leaving my shoulders
