Hate to say it, but that is Australia.

Hats off.

Unbelievable.

Not sure about him but I feel sick.

This innings from Maxwell is just ridiculous.

87 for 6! Surely game over!

Afghanistan have Australia at 73 for 5 chasing 291. Hope they can see it through.

What an iconic picture!

Indeed! A much needed morale boost ahead of the Champions Trophy playoff against the Netherlands. Steve is already writing our obituary, I believe, in most uncharitable terms.

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen... all over. Special thanks to JB for setting the tone first ball.

Pakistan on course in the other game, especially if overs start getting lost.

Good of the bowlers to keep the Australian score below par so our batters can show off their well-rehearsed collapsing strategy again.

Everton 3-1 Brighton DCL

Please don't say that. After the Fulham draw, already getting my hopes up.

They could get to 1-8! Australia and Pakistan should beat them. A defeat to Netherlands would cap it off.

Unlikely, but would be great if they qualified for the semis.

I think Boston was predicting the March fixture well in advance. Sad to see he still has us scoring zero goals.

West Ham 1-2 Everton Doucoure

Another absolute horror show - against a team equally rubbish, but England making them look like India. Just get them home.

I guess this was the reason Bill never stepped down in June; he wanted to go out being part of the club he loved. Credit to Moshiri for letting him do that. Irrespective of the footballing legacy he leaves behind, Bill's theatrical one will always be intact. He led a full and varied life. RIP.

Shame he's not ready to play against Sri Lanka. What is it with calling up reserves who can't play?

Rather incredibly, it means a win against Sri Lanka would bring us level with Afghanistan and Pakistan with 4 to play in the race for 4th spot. Australia still ahead but we have yet to play them. Clutching at straws, really, but you never know!

Talk of Roy coming back - hopefully not to bowl!

And all facilitated by the US, which has parked two aircraft carriers off the coast of Israel to deter any state / non-sate actor escalating the war. If ever there was a green light for Netanyahu to do what he wanted, that was it. No one should be in any doubt what this man's intentions are. “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” Hamas’s attack shows Benjamin Netanyahu failed Israel - Vox

Heroic failure. We're quite good at those.
