Did you watch it from the start - when they were picking the openers?Originally Posted by Dennis Bendtner
It was like something from a Ricky Gervais Office sketch.
Don't mind either of the three tbh but when they're forced to take up time and talk, they're hilariously bad.
I can't believe that. Couldn't they put some highlights on? Doomed from the start when Charles realised the idea was awful and would never fill the time so turned it into a pointless world XI instead. What's the next trick?
Yeah. It's been cringey as hell ever since that tedious weather banter. Charles is the white Harsha Bhogle. Allott just wants to be somewhere else. Seems like there's an embarrassing lack of planning when the pub-team pundits are wheeled out.
This is still car-crash TV. Charles is very bad at this.
Charles has been in the game long enough - longer than Ian Ward and whoever else they use. Don't know why he's so shit at it. Maybe it doesn't help having someone who hates you (Paul Allott) and someone who's constantly trying to look/sound cool (Nick Knight). If he had Botham and Holding there, he might've had a chance of saving it.
I think Botham and Holding would've lost patience long before. At least Knight made an effort...in his weird intellectual way.
Turns out we've got tickets for the semi-final at Cardiff next Thursday. India being there is dependent on finishing top of the group though. Chanced it tbh so they better fucking batter Pakistan.
It looks like it'll be India V NZ in that. Sophia Gardens is nicely done up now. Parking is really awkward though so get there early and be prepared to walk. Train might be better - but the ground's not very central so either way it'll be a few miles trek.
I walked almost to the ground on Sunday, it's 15 minute walk from station if that
When I say almost, I mean to the bridge to cross river and get to ground

From Cardiff Central, about half an hour. Over a mile. Easily walkable but gotta account for the time.
Bridge? Are you talking about the Millennium stadium?
Cheers both. It'll be an early start in the car. Don't mind a banterous trek with the Indians.
