Good win to kick things off. South Africa did help us with that collapse in the middle of the innings when they looked pretty well set, but that was a really good bowling/fielding effort to defend the total with ease and all in all a very decent start.

Might have a little bet on W.indies reaching the final 6/1

How depressing being a Pakistan bowler must be

Australia coach Justin Langer has asked fans not to boo Steve Smith and David Warner
I must have missed all the ex-Aussie players urging the Australian public not to boo Stuart Broad and requesting the Aussie press stopped with its anti-Broad headlines.

It's a pretty good one isn't it? A lot of the other contender feature the fielder initially going the wrong way and changing direction, in other words, they made an easy catch into a hard one by their own mistakes and then pulled off a worldy. Stokes (by his own admission) was out of position when the ball was delivered but did nothing wrong during the play, so to my mind that makes it a truly great catch.

Can't believe Langer seriously said this.
Hilarious. If the shoe was on the other foot the Aussies crowds would be hurling abuse left right and centre. Langer got some nerve coming out with that
We need to up the ante with everyone in the stadium provided a free SBW mask and a bit of sandpaper for autographs.

Genuine question, and I hope someone out there can help me...
I'm an avid cricket fan (and a member of Surrey CCC at The Oval). Right now we've got the World Cup going on and I must say, I'm thoroughly enjoying it, and the on screen graphics showing us what's happening have been greatly improved. Gone are the ridiculous tenths of a mile per hour for every ball bowled (83.8 or 90.3 etc) now, we just get the rounded up figure, which is great.
But my question is about the number of runs shown as being scored during each over. Why, when a wide has been bowled and a run has been added to the score, does the on-screen graphic show a 0 over the 'WD' ?
Anhyone have any idea? It's weird.

I think the 0 is to show that the batsman hasn't run byes or hit the ball to the boundary.
