Play what game? I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy of it.

You won’t find an argument from me that he should have played for Windies but he was British at birth.

No hypocrisy.

I just didn’t know he was a Kiwi.

Geeze, a bit touchy pal. I thought you Poms would be more desensitised after all the players you’ve poached over the years.

No poaching when it’s just players coming back to the motherland

In reality I don’t like selecting players born and bred abroad. If you love as a child you’re fair game. Morgan wanted tests and had an English mother and British passport so I think he’s an exception.

Semi finals are shaping up to be Australia (1) v New Zealand (4) and India (2) v England (3).

That's provided we beat South Africa and Pakistan don't absolutely flog Bangladesh and overtake the kiwis. If Australia loses India will move to 1st and us to 2nd.

For Pakistan to qualify to the semi-final

Pakistan to beat Bangladesh by 311 runs after posting 350

or

beat Bangladesh by 316 runs after scoring 400

or

beat Bangladesh by 321 runs after scoring 450

If they bowl first it's automatically impossible

Not impossible, but pretty f**king close to it.

Just watched the highlights of the Kiwis batting innings, wow that was a pretty average performance.
