Ah the Discopop seal of disapproval strikes again, Root with a belter

To be fair Livingstone is actually bowling well, it must be his one game in four. I rate Curran as a cricketer but he’s just a yard or two short on this type of pitch.

Spin seems to kill the run rate. They’ve got 3 decent spinners.

Livingstone is a better bowler than batter these days. He doesn’t bat long enough to ever get into any kind of form and tries to slog the ball too hard.

We won't want them to get anywhere near 280 looking at our spinners slowing the run rate down and taking wickets! There spinners will be decent two

The way this innings is Turing out we shouldn’t be chasing much more than 230 or so

Still find it strange, a world cup with no Windies there.

Yep. The Afghans have frittered away their excellent start. They should have been looking at 300+.

No one plays it over there any more. There’s more money in other sports.

If T20 ever takes off in the US, they might make a comeback.

Fantastic catch by root

Think Willey and Atkinson might start the next game.

Curran and woakes have been woeful
