Overall after the start the Aussies had you’d say 286 to win is not a bad result for England. Would say it’s about honours even at this stage as is still a tough total.

blademan89 · Jun 25, 2019

I fancy us to chase any total most of the time, normally I'd say wed do this is 41 overs but the pressure is on and that's a good thing. I fancy us. Come on england

kieran_vale · Jun 25, 2019

Well Vince didn’t even this time hit his couple of boundaries before the obligatory dismissal.

Agreed though, still think England to chase them down. Think Buttler is due for a match winning innings.

blademan89 · Jun 25, 2019

Fuck off Vince, never ever does he deserve another chance, why the fuck do they love him so much.

joethegill · Jun 25, 2019

Can't imagine Denly would've been any worse a pick than Vince to be honest.

kieran_vale · Jun 25, 2019

I know England will say it’s their way to go for the big shots but think will just need to pull their punches for a bit now. Root was out to a great ball but Vince was a poor shot and Morgan you could see that plan coming a mile off and still went for it.

Bairstow won't last much longer if he keeps flashing away at everything...

I hate the c***. Gets out in the same fashion every time, he has one scoring shot.

Super_horns · Jun 25, 2019

All down to Stokes and his one leg ..

kieran_vale · Jun 25, 2019

Interesting they brought out Woakes before Moeen. Suspect it’s to keep the right and left combo at the crease but either way it’s not a ringing endorsement of their faith in Moeen. Just got to try and take it deep and see what happens. Still far from impossible.

Farcical that Hales isn't in this team.

The stupid c*** should stay off the powder, we really miss him though.

Granted but we've all made mistakes - it would have been a good opportunity to start making amends after his public dressing down. He's an excellent option and miles ahead of James Vince.

Super_horns · Jun 25, 2019

Oh dear - hammered in the end .

Nice easy game next up - India .

Their top players performed - ours didn't:

Oh I fully agree 100%. Weve got it all on now to qualify, Pakistan could be ahead of us before we play India.

kieran_vale · Jun 25, 2019

Thought Ben Stokes was excellent and played the conditions really well. Outside of that too many soft dismissals again. Just got to hope that Roy is good to go for the India game. Would also bring in Plunkett for Moeen, let’s be honest we are losing nothing in the batting and Root can do a decent enough second spinner job.

In the meantime just got to hope NZ can get the job done against Pakistan tomorrow.

Plunkett should be playing instead of wood I think personally anyway and if Roy remains injured he should come in for Vince, root got a hundred opening against the windies so maybe just move them all up a place like that. Ideally and I mean really ideally we need Roy back. Moeens batting is pathetic and if hes not getting many wickets he becomes a waste of time.

I still think 1 win will do it which will be a total of 10.

Think Pakistan will pick up 4 more points taking them to 9 (if they beat New Zealand, then fair play). Bangladesh will lose both remaining games leaving them on 7.

I don't think Sri Lanka are a particularly great team. They're just as capable of losing any of their 3 remaining games as they are of winning them. If they win all 3 then fair bloody play to them, they'll deserve 4th. I sense that they'll win 1 though; possibly 2 although it'd take a big haul for them to overtake our run rate if we're both on 10 points.

Denly is 10x the batsman Vince is.

Even if Roy is only 75% fit, I’d play him ahead of the utterly rank James Vince. He’s shit at 3, let alone opening.

I'm not an expert by any means, but is it not worth possibly moving Root to open and adding someone better a bit lower down the order?

Absolutely, I wasn’t being completely series. More just making the point that an injured Roy will contribute more than Vince.

I’d definitely have Root opening, bring Plunkett in for Ali and move everyone down one. Ali won’t trouble the Indians with the ball either so might aswell sit him out.

Least if we don't win there is always the Ashes....

Sounds like it will be akin to a game in India on Sunday with their support and a slow pitch.

If Pakistan win today I think we might actually go out ffs which would be the biggest fuck up ever from us.

The pitch will certainly be made to suit India that is for sure.

Just watching a bit of NZ v Pakistan at the moment and if it's the same pitch being used on Sunday its turning square for the spinners. England have made this very hard for themselves now.

Pakistan will win both so we either win both or were gone

Scrap that.
Win 2 or bust now.

Super_horns · Jun 26, 2019

New Zealand have the Aussies next so our last game against them might be winner takes all !

Super_horns · Jun 29, 2019

Doing us a favour ATM are Afghanistan!

Some entertainment at Lord's - grea t catches and a hat trick !

kieran_vale · Jun 29, 2019

Well they were doing England a favour. What the fuck was Gulbadin doing bringing himself on when the spinners were bringing it home? Just utterly brainless.
