To end on a more cheerful note, it was a terrific performance by India's women to beat Australia in the second World Cup semi-final on Thursday.
The best women's ODI of all time, perhaps,
innings possibly the best ever. Having lost three successive matches in
the group stage, India have showed a lot of grit to come back, and I'll
be rooting for them against SA in the final.

When did the Merican "rooting" invade the UK?
It infested Oz several years and is the the process of destroying the Australian meaning of the word. I thought the UK would have resisted the cultural invasion better than Oz.

My 1995 edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary includes that
sense of the word, but notes it as being "US slang".

Or perhaps not JH. I saw lots of this game, esp the Indian innings, and thought the conditions were way too pro-batter, particularly when Oz
were bowling. The evening dew was so heavy that it was like playing in a light shower with the bowlers really struggling to hold the ball. If it wasn't for Healy behind the stumps (as opposed to in front of 'em) Oz's
15 wides would have been 30+.

When Joe Root made his England debut? ;)

Very disappointing, especially - with the Ashes in mind - the repeated failures of Duckett, Smith and Root. It didn't help that Brook lost all three tosses, given that it looks like there was some early moisture for
the NZ quicks to exploit, and NZ are a good ODI side, but even allowing
for that it was poor. The only crumbs of comfort were a terrific hundred
by Brook in the first match, Archer bowling well in the second (having
been rested for the first), and Jamie Overton's batting down the order -
but he's given up on red-ball cricket and so won't be among those going
on to Australia.
