Bouncers, rain, and poor chasers - A mid-tournament review of WC 2019

We review the first half of the World Cup and discuss some of the main themes from the last three weeks. Talking points: England making the tournament interesting; rain, rain and more rain; teams trying to bounce opponents out; too many captains deciding to field first; and the growing separation between the good teams and the also-ran.
