[Cricket] 2019 Cricket World Cup

[jakarta]

Biggest game of the Tournament so far, England take on New Zealand at Chester-le-Street, need to continue their form against India or rely on an unlikely loss by Pakistan.

should we be praying for heavy rain Friday to wash out the game at Lords as a safeguard.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Another beautiful day going to be wasted parked in front of the telly, trying to pretend I'm working from home and not having a sneaky beer. Or nine.

This tournament must have had a severe impact on the Nation's productivity.

Lockie Ferguson ruled out of the match with a tight hamstring. Big blow for the Blackcaps. Pakistan fans not happy!

I'm not sure a Pakistan defeat to Bangladesh is THAT 'unlikely'.

Conflicted emotions today, I have a foot in both camps. Here's hoping for a tie

TMS on the phone is all I've had to keep me going for the last month, enjoy it you lucky sod!

We're batting first, have to be favourites. We only seem to choke on a run chase.

 

[dazzer6666]

Ambling along at 7.5 an over. FFS Roy and YJB, GET ON WITH IT

It is now 6.6 an over, very disappointing that two such stodgy batsman have been selected.

 

[pasty]

100 up in 15th over

 

[Ernest]

Going all out to win this match , 100 up in 14.4

 

[Titanic]

England 100-0 (14.4 overs, RR 6.82)

JR 47*(49) JB 44*(39)

 

[Ernest]

Anything less than 350 with this start is a massive fail

 

[pasty]

Roy gets to 50 first
