Except that, whatever happens now, England were one minute away from going out the tournament due to utter ineptitude.
They didn't wait till the 93td minute to bring Toney on because they knew what was about to happen. Utterly bewildering.
Rees-Mogg would be fun but he would be magnanimous in defeat though. I'm not sure he would be too bothered. It wouldn't be quite a Portillo moment. Truss, with a face like a bag of tin tacs, would be sight to behold. She would then say that it was all down to her world changing political...
Looking at the table and comparing it to previous years, it may be that six draws would be enough to go up. Balance any loss with a win. Worcestershire finished second on 167 last year.
I hope Clive gets another role. These days commentators seem to.be a bit lowest denominator and he does stand out as a voice of knowledge who captures the occasion. I think he's a real loss.
It was... but it wasn't, alas.
I watched the game faux live and did a number of rewinds. The base of the rope is slightly disturbed during his controlling of the catch. You have to be looking for it, but it is definitely ruffed for a split moment.
But it means not out. And six.
Italians seem to have three bad tournaments (if they qualify) and then reach a final.
If England made it through tomorrow it was the Italians that were best to face. They are in one of their trough cycles
