MikeO Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 If we can't win it, which is looking unlikely, I'd be happy to see NZ do it; we stole it off them with a total fluke in the last one after all, so I think it'd be deserved.

Formby Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 Pakistan have never successfully chased more than 345 in an ODI WC game. Much as though I'd like them to win, I don't see that changing. A win for Australia today and a win for England tomorrow would bring give all four teams (Pak, Aus, Eng and SA) a 2-2 record - all to play for!

Always go for the kiwis over Aus, especially in the cricket - love the manner in which they play the game. Wouldnt be upset in the slightest if Aus don’t make the finals, bunch of arrogant wankers.

Nope, not after NZ and Afghanistan, but I wasn't expecting the multi-car pileup at the end of the SA innings. 142 from the last 10? 84 from 5?? What has happened to Wood? Bowling isn't doing enough, probably because we don't have the right bowlers (still think we should have risked Rehan Ahmed) and our much-vaunted batting looks so fragile.

I don't think anything has happened to him tbh, I think batsmen have just worked him out. I've said it before but he just bowls as quick as he can without putting much more thought into it, and relies on the speed of his delivery being enough. The likes of Starc and Cummins are quick bowlers but they're also very skilful with it. Wood is not. A big part of our shit performances this tournament has been the poor off-field decisions - team selections, decisions at the toss etc. Just add another one to it now - we took Archer as a reserve but Mott has said if Topley is ruled out of the tournament Archer won't be replacing him. So now we'll have to bring someone who will have to travel to India. Why the fuck did we take a reserve that wouldn't be able to be a reserve?!

Romey 1878 Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Afghanistan going very well again. If they can get more exposure to international cricket they could beat the top teams more often. They've certainly got the players for it.

Formby Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted October 26, 2023 Report Share Posted October 26, 2023 The one benefit of this appalling tournament for England is that it should be the end of Mott. Hopefully it's also the end of Buttler as captain and we refresh the squad, because the squad we've took to this tournament is old and tired and it's showing. The likes of Ali, Woakes, Malan, Stokes etc have got to be discarded and we bring in younger players and build. Btay and Formby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
