Woakes needs to wake up - another poor opening spell putting pressure on us from the off.

Only good at home.

They’ll no doubt beat India by 250 runs in their next match.

Making a fight of it (the current game), I hope they do, tournament needs a close match

Never forget that during the height of Covid that Pakistan came and played a full series in England during lockdown, stuck in hotel rooms for 2 or 3 months. The last 2 series between England and Pakistan have been incredibly friendly, despite being competitive, a far cry from those Gatting days

I do mate, now amended. I am as shit at typing as my namesake was at being a chairman!

What a partnership this is. Real fighters and outside bet to win the tournament. Good bowling attack (but not today seemingly) and destructive batting unit

Sri Lanka need to bring Murali and Vaas on.

Who’s the one that used to have the awful action? I can’t have it that he wasn’t bowling no balls.

Edit, Malinga the Slinger (google was my friend)

 

[BringBackSwales]

Great catch to end a great innings

They have a new version

He’s on now, he is very like him in action

 

[BringBackSwales]

Getting desperate now, he just bowled a floater apparently. Fantastic win from where they were

Wonder what the maximum number of runs that a side has conceded in a World Cup is. Sri Lanka must be on for the record having given up 428 and 345 already.

I see @ancoats hasn’t stopped by to congratulate England on a decent win.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Bigger fish in the pool than Bangladesh, but never the less a very good win was needed, Topley was very good, Wood ok, Malan had a great innings, Root Good, Should World Cup games be played on a very poor ground and outfield

He did, kind of, to be fair to him @discopop

Fair dos I must have missed it, apologies to @ancoats so crack on.

maybe it's only what you want to see ?
I am not all bad, Many on here have got me wrong Because Root being a bad captain in my view. Root record towards to end was 1 win in 17 games. Maybe I was right to question him as captain

bloody hell his arm barely goes over his shoulder ? must be a nightmare for batsman

 

[supercity88]

He would be if he ever got the ball anywhere near them! He's more a nightmare for his wicketkeeper!

He got 1-90 from 9 overs and I think of the 25 wides conceded he was responsible for about 20 of them.

Pakistan are such a weird team.

When they are on it they are a match for anyone yet half the time they look like they can't be arsed and implode.

That win yesterday will do wonders for their confidence though. They'll be well up for it on Saturday you'd think but Pakistan being Pakistan they are just as likely to completey fuck it up
