Don't forget. @cricketireland winning a series in the @windiescricket shows why the #odisuperleague is a good move forward for cricket. Ireland winning a series against the Windies is the reason that the @ICC scrapped the superleague. #wivire

If the CWC super league is gone after this edition. It’s going to be a real shame. It actually made countries play countries that they normally wouldn’t. Meant that every game was important and mattered. Showed the bigger teams what they had to lose. Thats why it’s going

Watching Japan take the lead on Ireland with 20 mins left. Thrilling. Generally could care less about rugby but this is the kind of great World Cup match for a casual sports fan from a non traditional rugby country to get into, something sadly missing from Cricket World Cup.

The @ICC made the decision yesterday on who made it to the women’s World Cup and who is in the new women’s ODI league. Rather then attacking the teams that made it, which isn’t the teams decisions. The ICC could just expand the competitions instead. It’s a simple solution.
