[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[timbha]

The definition of complacency and too many poor decisions. Hopefully a wake up call.

 

[Pickles]

We were 7/4 at the start, now out a couple of ticks at 2/1.

Fill your boots on the twos.

We will win this.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Probably need one more win, easy games left v Aussies, India and Kiwis

Not too worried about these, anyway if we can't beat them whats the point in qualifying for the semis anyway

Depends who turns up on the day, we have imploded twice already, the Indians and the Convicts won't be scared of facing us for sure.

Absolutely, that is exactly why the book has us at 2/1, which is 33%.

Fill you MACKINTOSHES on us.

Are you new to following England

When Archer was out, the commentator said "There's been a bit of collapse by England" prompting me to say to Mrs G "How many times in the years I've been following England, have I heard those words?"

Oh come on,. Willow, this is ours to lose.

A silly loss today doesn't change things.

I have never understood how Malinga is considered a legal bowler. Regardless some very poor batting cost us. Lost 2 already
India and Kiwis unbeaten. How are we still favourites?

We've got enough in our locker to win this Cup, but Roy is one of the main men. Hales must feel like a kvnt tonight.

Love how the negativity comes out after a bad result on a tough pitch.

Granted some brainless shots with the bat today by some but you don’t become a bad team overnight.

He does bowl with a straight arm, it's just his arm comes over the wicket more horizontally than an orthodox action, giving him a slingy, wicket to wicket action. Unique but legal.

Same against Pakistan, we’re supposedly the best team in the world by a long way and playing in home conditions but we’ve already lost 2 games against sides in abysmal form so far.

They haven’t made CH the coach have they !
I stayed up to watch this, cheap wickets with no one really trying to build an innings.
Shame Wood didn’t just drop the bat on his final delivery and let Stokes get on strike, would have loved to have seen him pull it off.

Two Games today:

India vs Afghanistan at the Toilet Bowl this morning - only going one way surely?

West Indies vs New Zealand at Old Trafford, Windies last chance against the stealth bombers of the Tournament, can't see them doing it unless Gayle has one of those ridiculous batting performances that he is capable of now and again.

Shows how much I know, Afghans are making a decent fist of this. 163-4 after 38 India will be lucky get past 250 at this rate.

Definitely not a bad team, but not getting 232 against a pretty poor side has shown some tears [as in torn] in the seams, so to speak.
