Cricket World Cup

[Tongo]

ODI cricket is rapidly just becoming hitting. There have been too many dull, one-sided games in the competition so far. Ironically the two best games, in terms of drama, (NZ v AUS and Pakistan v SA) a total of 300 has not even been close.

Big test for England against Bangladesh. Chasing 276 to win isnt the most difficult of targets but, under the circumstances, i'm sure England's batsmen will be feeling the pressure!

This is becoming embarrassing!

 

[Beezerk]

Blimey, another quality showing from the England batsmen.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

This is painful. Let's get back to Test cricket and forget this whacking stuff.

Eh Gads 5 down .. Cas e for KP grows stronger , hopefully not tho as he is a total .. (not getting an infraction ) for him ha ha

 

[Martin70]

It's still possible but I wouldn't bet on it.

One more wicket and the tail is in. You could argue that the tail started at 1 anyway

 

[Dan2501]

We're so bad. Need Buttler to bat through, but be surprised if we win at the minute. #BringBackKP

It's been embarrassing for a while. Not sure how low we have to go to get the change we desperately need.

 

[FairwayDodger]

I think this is going to be close. Should be an exciting finish for the neutrals!

Definitely doable for England although you might argue they have made heavy weather of it!

 

[Dan2501]

Buttler's awesome. One of the few modern-OD players we've actually got. Hales another, KP another, Morgan when on form another. This side is just too one-paced. It's not good enough. Buttler should be batting 4 or 5.

Should pick:

Moeen
Hales
Pietersen
Buttler
Morgan *
Stokes
Billings +
Woakes
Jordan
Broad
Finn

 

[bladeplayer]

Wow tough call on Jordan

 

[FairwayDodger]

Ouch!

 

[Dan2501]

Embarrassing. Some major changes need to be made to this ODi team. Not good enough.

Agent Morgan, mission accomplished. Back to Dublin with you. The worst Irish spy since Donald Sutherland in "The Eagle has landed". England now 2nd best cricket nation in the United Kingdom.

And no please, I'd rather see us lose to Afghanistan than bring back Pietersen.

Too much been made of England batting not performing...it's the so-called Test bowlers doing f-all.

Ah Paul , im sure it wasnt a plan by either the South Africans OR the Irish that planned this . maybe both together .

At least Ed Joyce has a CHANCE of the quarters still , ye didnt ruin him too much on us

Morgan for Irl
KP for .. well no one really

Poison Chalice of cricket captaincy for England ..

 

[Foxholer]

Excellent 1-Day entertainment - for the neutral!

Bangladesh deserved the win, but it certainly swung each way at times!

Recriminations will start early! Always 'entertaining' for neutrals too!

Really? Restricting a side to 275 on a decent batting deck and then watching Bell and Root stumble along at a combined strike rate of about 70? I think its blatantly obvious where England failed in this game.

 

[road2ruin]

Spanked by the good sides, gave Bangladesh a decent game. Most minnows would take that.
