[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[Surf's Up]

God the Australians are so ****ing smug.

Looks like we have to win our last two matches or achieve heroic failure as usual.

So basically we will be out at around 6pm tomorrow

Could be sooner than that if we bat first....

When was the last 50 over World Cup England didn’t fail massively?

We got to the final in 79, 87 and 92 - we got battered in two of them though. We lost in 87 narrowly - we were doing well until Gatting got into his head that a reverse sweep was the shot to play (it was a new innovation around that time and not many batsmen used it -Gatting was not normally one of them)

Not here, game doesn’t start till 5.30pm.

Prevailing mood of pessimism. If the Afghans can nearly beat Pakistan and pushed India close surely we can nearly beat India? A ton for Root today.

2017 when the Women won it at Lords against India

How is it that the Indian supporters are able to hoover up all the tickets? It's not like England fans aren't ticket savvy. The Pakistan game was the same.

 

[vegster]

Must Win time today.... will we deliver or will we die on our arses when the Indians turn the screw ?

 

[Ernest]

Time for us to post a 400+ score and not mess about

 

[crodonilson]

Time for the bottlers to step up to the plate.

 

[BensGrandad]

Will Bairstow be able to ram Michael Vaughans words down his throat. Either way it is good to see Roy back in the side for Vince and Moeen dropped.

 

[Eeyore]

Blimey. Roy has two chances today then.

Simple really. There is a ballot for tickets.

It appears more Indian supporters applied per capita so you've got a higher ratio.

You can't deny Mr Patel from Leicester a ticket on account of his surname. That's a bit 'Norman Tebbit'.

 

[Ernest]

What time is the collapse

 

[Beach Hut]

Bairstow is starting to give these Indian bowlers serious treatment
