[Cricket] England v Bangladesh at Cardiff

[Taybha]

100 for Roy 174-1 28 overs gone

 

[Durlston]

Very impressive so far.

This is a banana skin of a match that we seem to be making light work of.

Hope it stays dry at Taunton for New Zealand.

340 Highest ever WC Score but Morgan goes - put Archer up the order!

 

[Mackenzie]

386/6 50 overs.

Looks a big total.

Come on Jofra.

 

[Bold Seagull]

World record 7 consecutive scores over 300. Highest total for England at World Cups. 3 balls in the river. Not a bad mornings work.

 

[SeagullinExile]

A HUGE total.

Archer starts with 2 overs 1-0 runs

Archer making seasoned international batsmen look like school boys.

LOL - exactly this. It’s like village cricket when the one local rapid bowler comes on, everyone backing away to leg and looking like they are going to **** themselves.

 

[Durlston]

Afghans had been putting up resistance against New Zealand in the other match - 153/9 now. Just hope they can finish this match.

Edit: 172 all out.

This is a pitch for 2 spinners.

It's a road. Not turning.

Best all-rounder in the world at present. Yet no-one seems to know !

I'm not upset for the Pakistan match, bit loose but we were still involved in the second highest runs match in WC history, so our batting was still top notch. Today the rest was top notch and on that form I don't see anyone else turning us over*

* Except in the semi final, we have a habit of that this summer.

 

[Taybha]

Looking at Archer i can't see how England won't pick him for the Test squad v the Aussies , the man from nowhere will probably not bowl another ball for Sussex this summer but watching him bowl today i'm not that bothered , if he can hit 96mph with half a run up England would be ridiculously daft to let a player of his quality casually take apart Division 2 of the CC whilst the Aussies take apart a Archerless England , 89% of his deliveries would have gone on to hit the stumps if i read todays stats correctly with a average speed of 148kmph from his 9 overs , players like Archer are box office and i cant wait to see him steaming in v the Aussies in the ashes .

Agreed. I also think Roy should play.

Agreed. I also think Roy should play.

Isn't he a bit old and what will palace do for a manager?
