respect joe root

Cracking game this. Great batting, good spin bowling, shocking pace bowling, poor fielding

Great mumbai wicket...my hometown :)

Jesus, can't believe we've won this. Shocking from SA, fantastic from England's batsmen. Neither of these teams will go far in this tournament if they don't massively improve their bowling and fielding

Excellent chasing by England this evening. Some class batting by both sides, we'll not mention the bowling and fielding though. And Duminy goes and contradicts me with a cracking catch.

450+ runs in 40 overs, incredible

 

[jimharri]

Suicidal running.

 

[BigOscar]

Surely I've not spoken too soon?

 

[neel]

ohhh god..pressure mounting

 

[coleridge]

Bugger me. If only the quick bowlers were any good.

 

[Adidas Sharston]

Brilliant chase, got there in the end. Well played Joe after a great start by Roy & Hales. If we could only sort our bowling out.

India & Pakistan should be tasty.

 

[George Hannah]

brilliant, well done lads

 

[BigOscar]

Pretty clear that from here on we just have to make sure we win the toss every time so we can chase, otherwise we're fucked.

Went off to do something else... Didn't think they had a chance.

Couldn't believe it coming back to see Joe Root on 80+ and only needing 7.5 an over. What a win.

Never doubted them ;-p

 

[Dogtanian]

Fantastic game, enjoyed that

 

[jimharri]

Bugger me. If only the quick bowlers were any good.

Even Steyn (one of the best in the world) struggled badly out there. 2 overs for 35 runs.

Joe Root is an absolute machine at saying empty cricketing cliche's, top notch.

Credit where it's due! Come on Engerland!

I know but still. Topley and Willey? I think not.

Sadly mate they are all going this way, more and more bland interviews and cliche's, going to be a bad as footballers before long, too much media training these days.
