Us vs. The Convicts at 15.00, if we are getting tonked at Anfield maybe a good distraction?

[Cricket] T20 World Cup
- Thread starter A1X
- Start date
On my way to the ground - only about 30 minutes walk from my apartment. Hoping for a good performance from England, plus a win of course!
Apparently last night was chaos, with thousands of ticketless Afghanistan fans storming the ground, so expecting a tedious over-reaction this evening with long queues and extra security.

Seems like they could have let them in given the crowd numbers? or at least given away tickets locally

Stuck at home watching the England game after I came down with something that may (but after testing almost certainly isn't) have been covid.
After the respective starts I'm not as disappointed with not being able to go to Liverpool as I might have been.
Edit: well I am quite disappointed now, but I can deal with looking a bit of a tit when it's a result of Brighton playing well.

Good day getting better...
88-1 after 8 overs, stroll in the park. Buttler gets his 50 with a maximum.

Buttler's batting is as sublime as Warner's facial hair is shit.

Weren't the Aussie opening bowlers Starc and Cummins meant to rip us apart ?
Their bowling figs to date 3-0-37 -0 & 1-0-14-0
Zampa can slow us down with some spin

I dunno there was something amusing about them going "make some noise you Aussie fans" and there being total silence when England needed about 20 to win.

England as expected making a pigs ear of their clash against relative minnows Sri Lanka after spanking Australia.

That would be the former T20 world cup winners Sri Lanka, who also have a better win % in the competition than Australia (and England).
On the subject of that win over Australia though, I'll leave a link to this article here:

Because you can never laugh too much at Australia losing.

This Sri Lanka side are a shadow of previous outfits, they had to pre-qualify to make this stage and their recent record is absolutely woeful.

You wouldn't call a crap Germany side minnows in the Football world cup though would you? Even if they did look like absolute dross.
In any case, from the brief bit of it I saw while I was eating my lunch Sri Lanka looked like having a useful bowling attack for the conditions. If Buttler or Morgan bat through I'd expect us to get a useful score.
