2019 Cricket ODI WC

[ACT Crusader]

England off to an excellent start. 6+ rpo and no wickets lost after 15.

India are seriously under the pump now. England have found a belter and they are feeding on it.

145 after 20 overs is fucking insane.

I blame the hi vis shirts

[mariner4life]

155 actually. Jesus this is incredible. With the batting to come 400 is on

[mariner4life]

Gem of a catch finally brings a breakthrough

[NTA]

Fark nice catch

[NTA]

Pulled them back in now a bit.

Sustained run rate like that is hard. Better to try for 6 then accelerate I reckon

[NTA]

Eoin Morgan will get nothing but short balls the rest of this CWC

I think it's fair to say he's been worked out

[NTA]

@canefan like Steve Waugh: he will have to put away childish things if he wants to complete himself as a batsman

Same as Maxwell. Sometimes it isn't helpful to be able to play all the shots. Mark Richardson averaged 40+ and only had about 3 shots

[NTA]

Root tries a silly shot when it would have been a half volley drive for 4.

[NTA]

Won't make 350 now by the looks.

[NTA]

Two of the recent wickets would have been called Wide if they'd been left alone

[NTA]

337. About 30 less than they probably wanted.

India won't be threatened by that.

[canefan]

@NTA They really didn't need to slog. The platform was set, they just had to keep accumulating. An imposing total (apparently it will be the highest ever successful run chase in CWC history?) but the Indians are loaded with batting

[mofitzy_]

India well behind on the worm.

[mofitzy_]

India 306 total. They started slow but the batting in the last 10 overs was ridiculously safe considering they had a chaseable target and wickets in hand.

Massive game on Wednesday - England needs to win as Pakistan will almost certainly roll the Bangles on Friday. Luckily for us the Pakistan RR is much worse than ours but we still need a tight game at the very least and ideally a win.

[booboo]

Yep. Inevitable that England won this because we needed them to lose.

We're not making the semis.

[canefan]

@booboo if we don't make it I don't think we can argue that it wasn't undeserved. We got a free point against India, dodged a bullet against SA and WI, and our batting crumbled against Aussie. And our opening pair probably average in single figures for the whole tournament
