So the ICC decided we needed 11 warm up games before 51 actual games.
But can't have more teams in and let teams warm up against the teams they going play
Bonkers as usual from the ICC

I’d say warm up games make sense for those who haven’t played in the conditions for a while, so those who are not England and Pakistan
Imagine if we went to Australia without warms up before an Ashes series...
Obviously the tournament should be bigger. You don’t develop cricket if it’s a closed shop
Agree. This tournament feels more like a Champions Trophy than a World Cup. Terrible decision by the ICC to chop the numbers down

That was kind of my point

It's South Wales and a couple of hundred miles from anywhere considered as "The North"

I've heard of Wetherby, can't say I've ever ventured that far out of my comfort zone though!well that's just nonsense, everyone nars leeds is the gateway to the south.

Ignore the wannabee sweaties on here
Everyone knows the gateway to the South is actually Sheffield

The South starts as soon as you go past Wetherby services, that's scientific fact.

Based on much experience I disagree.
Wetherby is the start of the Midlands, and that stretches to Derby although Nottingham is in the South. Then there's a huge gap where there's nothing particularly useful or interesting until your plane lands in Alicante.

UPDATE: Pakistan take the early lead. South Africa fuck themselves out of the tournament, which should have been an OBVIOUS call.

And the winner is... Pakistan!
Shame as they're much more exciting to watch than NZ at the moment, and I'd give them a good chance of beating Australia.
