An absolute spanking

Absolutely walloped.
England's batters have to remind themselves there's a big difference between 20 and 50 over cricket.

NZ's Ravindra looks some prospect.
Super innings.

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

Not sure too many teams will have collapsed to 364 before in a 50 over match. Scoring 60 odd in the last 10 and a bit overs while losing 7 wickets.

Bit of an escape from Bangladesh, was looking like they'd be on the end of well over 400 for a lot of the innings

Topley bowled well as England win by about 130 - still not wholly convincing though.

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

Absolute tonking, lost by 134 runs.

A few hundred there to witness it by the look of things.

Lots of empty seats (still probably 100,000 there though) and the crowd quite quiet as Pakistan get to 40-0 in the eighth over.

It'll soon fill up when it's India's turn to bat.

Immense support

Re: Unofficial Cricket World Cup Thread

When any cricket team has an opening bowler that is going at 10 runs per over, then they have severe problems. I remember Bob Willis some years ago saying in an interview that Woakes shouldn’t be anywhere near an England side, as he wasn't an international quality bowler. His prophecy is proving correct and yet they continue to pick him. Curran isn't much better either.

Woakes is a great bowler in English conditions, not as effective overseas. Curran was player of the tournament 4 years ago.
