You can can listen to live commentary on radio 2000 streaming (http://sabc.co.za/wps/portal/SABC/listenlivepopup#fragment-13) or over a radio (97.2 – 100fm).

Thank you for this, somehow it bypasses our proxy and no Radio 2000 reception...

Round 3 picks are hard. I'm really undecided on the Windies vs Pakistan game.

If the Pakis are in a good mood, they should win it.

You could say the same for the Windies, that's the problem

Yeah, on a more rare occasion.

They seem to be in deep *** at the moment.

Choose a draw

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

I've picked WI for now, have a bit more time to ponder on it.

Reverse psychology on the forum members? It's a tough one, if Gayle fires, then WI. If Gayle gets squat again, then we have another Ireland on our hands.

There's two pools in this right. Thought one would take care of the easy obvious picks but it looks like they are somehow interlinked.

But yeah there must be some racist conspiracy going on.

WI vs Pak is not too difficult to pick - on sentiment or quality. If it's a question of who I want to win the most, then as much as I want the WI to recover, Afridi is bowing out so I'd like to see him&Pakistan hit top gear now so they can be a genuine threat later. They have the better side man for man.

ZIM can easily beat both IRE&WI, so by losing to IRE, WI are virtually out now. All of which means WI serve only one purpose in this Group - to give the Proteas a proper wake-up call.

I went with NZ, but the tricky game is ENG vs NZ. They way NZ struggled against Scotland shouldn't be underestimated. Jimmy&Broad will cause them problems. England have to make a bold choice and drop Morgan for Bopara and make Bell captain. Morgan's form lately is shocking! He's turning into a Rilee Rossouw http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-cricket-world-cup-2015/content/player/24598.html

 

[ZCFOutkast]

India to beat SA, Scotland to beat ENG.

 

[GODZILLA99]

The problem with the proteas is pressure they can score big against the the weaker sides in pressure situations like against Zimbabwe but against the likes of India or Pakistan in pressure situations they fail we need everybody in the proteas side feel and be like Ab De Villiers because the man has heart that nobody can strike fear against so if everybody has the spirit of Ab de Villiers what can stop them from winning this worldcup thought I voice my opinion.

Zimbabwe won the toss and asked UAE to bat.

 

[MickeyD]

UAE 4/0 (2 ov)

 

[MickeyD]

UAE 100/2 (23 ov)

 

[Hectic]

UAE 285/7 (50 overs)

I think this is a 330 - 350 wicket, even more for the top teams.

If Zim play to their potential they should get within 45 overs imo.

 

[MickeyD]

Zimbabwe 215/5 (39.2 ov)

 

[Drifter]

Zim require 64 with 60 balls remaining , 5 wickets in hand.

 

[MickeyD]

Zimbabwe 250/6 (43 ov)

 

[MickeyD]

United Arab Emirates 285/7 (50.0 ov)
Zimbabwe 286/6 (48.0 ov)

Zimbabwe won by 4 wickets (with 12 balls remaining)

 

[Arzy]

Bad bowling or did zim come to the party in those last 5 overs?
