Jofra Archer has been named in the squad, and rightly so. He offers genuine pace and he’s still relatively unknown to the other teams. I don’t agree with the omission of David Willey though. I wouldn’t have had Liam Dawson. But hey ho.
This is the first round robin CWC since Australia/New Zealand in 1992. For me, that was the best CWC. Australia were big favourites, but lost their first four games. England are big favourites for this one. Let’s hope we get off to a better start.
Come on England ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿. |  | | |  |

Saffas struggling - lost their first two games and have India next. |
Followed by the West Indies. 0 from 4 on the cards. |  | | |

I'm not sure why India haven't played yet whilst that will be South Africa's third game - there must be some odd reason I guess.
Bangladesh beating South Africa was a bit surprising - Springboks could be falling apart as you'd have expected them to bowl out the Bangles for less than that. Sri Lanka were woeful. Afghans didn't do too badly against the Aussies - as well as could be expected anyway and they have easier games to come before they face England again.
Today's game will be interesting. I think that Pakistan will show up with their best performance since they arrived here. We've played them here already in the odi series and they lost the Windies here last week, but spin didn't exactly get much of an outing in either game. If it turns here then that's probably the biggest threat to England, otherwise we should win but it might not be too easy. |  | | |

You're right - it won't be easy! Record run chase required by England to win. England's bowling and particularly fielding not as good as usual today. |  | | |

Yeah that's a proper good score.
I think that it comes down to Shadab - if we can knock him around then we'll just about get home, but if he can produce some magic then this might well be 20-30 too many. Should be fun though. | | | |

This run chase is gripping! |  |

Need a couple of big overs pretty sharpish otherwise we're gonna fall short. |  |

All over now. Bloody rubbish against the Windies, typically turn it on against the home team. | |

To think that Pakistan have lost their last 11 OD1's too???? |  |

Not really a fan of the game but the commentary can have such a timelessly relaxing feel. |  |

Had a feeling when they got 350 that that was at least 20 too many. Can't have been many occurrences of a team getting two hundreds from batsmen and still losing the match and that was the problem, nobody in the top order apart really from Bairstow chipped in. [Post edited 3 Jun 2019 18:57]

I don't think so these days - wasn't so long ago that it was all pretty stinky though. Against the Windies they knew that they had to score big and it was shit or bust. The same applied today but they carried it off this time. | | | |

partly, but figures-wise we had the best two bowlers and best two batters. Lost it in the field today, unusually for us lately. |  |

Exactly. Gave away at least 30 runs with fielding mistakes, overthrows etc. and Roy dropped a vital catch. | | | |

I didn't think that our body language looked great for a side hoping to win a World Cup. Stokes starts moping about when he can't get the ball away and then he's swishing around his bat again on the way back to the pavilion. Poor.
Rashid is another problem - he was poor with ball yesterday compared to the other spinners on offer and didn't complete his five overs, in which case why exactly is he in the side even on a pitch which gave some assistance to the spinners?
As a result of that it looks as if Morgan will get a two match ban for slow over rate. It's starting to unravel and the chances of it 'coming home' have diminished somewhat since that win against South Africa. | | | |

Afghanistan v Sri Lanka today - might not be the most exciting game ever seen on paper but should be interesting. The Afghans will be expecting to win this and I'll be hoping that they do - they're slight underdogs in the betting which is attractive. Cardiff looks like avoiding enough of the rain to get a decent game in - fingers crossed. | | | |

You can afford the odd blip in the group stages, but when it gets to the semi-finals it will be the side that turns in 2 decent performances that will win the tournament.
England have the batting and a 1 day bowling attack but they can't afford sloppy days in the field. |  |

Hopefully you are right - they did drop Root early though, it wasn't a case of our fielding being massively inferior to Pakistan's. | | | |

australia is going to give them a taste of their own medicine in the second innings... and unlike the windies, they actually have good bowlers who can ratchet up the pace
should be exciting | | | |

Chris Gayle given out twice in 3 balls by the umpire. Both reviewed, and both overturned.
The first one actually brushed the stumps instead of hitting the bat. The second one was an awful LBW decision.
The ball is doing things. Will be very interesting. | | | |

australia is so damn gutsy... to put up 288 from 79/5...
and to steal this result when windies were about 70 runs away with 9 overs and 5 wickets in hand....

Aussies looking good and will be a good bet to win it if they can keep their players fit. |  | | |

i think india will have the biggest issues with health
sharma, dhoni, dhawan, jedhav are all ancient... and pandya is constantly injured...
going to be difficult for them to play so many games in such a short period, especially considering they started a week after everyone else
rahane's conveniently playing at hampshire so maybe jockeying for a recall if india loses someone | | | |
