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 ¿. |  | | |  |

Some good batting to come though. I think Holder is a terrific player (and leader).
Just don't let Stokes bowl to Brathwaite ;) |  |

These two have steadied the ship pretty well in the circumstances. Given them a chance of setting 300 plus, which they'll need. Conditions will probably improve for batting. |  | | |

Morgan knacked now. Who knows what a beatable score is. |  | | |

If England don't win this they want shooting. They bowled very well. |  | | |

So far so good, but I wouldn't have been surprised to see them at 40/4 against these bowlers. | | | |

with 2 batsmen out, keeping wickets intact was vital. But this has been a dream start from Bairstow a Root. Its only4 an over now - that almost test match speed. Don't take risks and e should cruise this.
If it all goes tis up you can blame me |  |

Haha. It's just that I've seen England mess up from winning positions too many times! Not today though. | | | |

Absolutely, he is. As I've mentioned on here previously, he now seems to have realised that his strength is playing his own game, picking up lots of singles to keep the scoreboard ticking and make the bowler having to keep changing his delivery to a different batsman all the time. Waiting for the bad ball and putting it away for a four with a very low risk approach. Didn't hit a six at all yesterday because slogging is really not his game, he doesn't need to do that. When he tries it, he invariably gets out. By playing a long innings, he gives licence to the big hitters at the other end to whack the ball about, it's a perfect scenario for England; as long as he stays in for 30/35 overs England are pretty much guaranteed a massive score. | | | |

His younger brother Billy has come in to a struggling Glamorgan side and done very well so far. Being Cardiff born, i'm stuck with Glamorgan unfortunately and we lost every match for ages until Billy recently joined and started resisting stoically... |  | | |

Only Afghanistan I know but England fall just short of 400. Morgan 118 out of his 148 in boundaries! |  |

Morgan’s 17 sixes is a world record  |  |

This is really worrying. As usual, we cannot work out Malinga. Tone set with the top 2 going very cheaply. Vince really hasn't taken his chances.
Hales must spend his entire days either punching himself in the face or planning to punch someone at the ECB in the face. Stupid boy. | |

Vince doth not convince!
England are panicking a bit here, that shot by Ali was not needed. Will be a test to see if they can stay calm.
I don’t see this England team beating Australia in ODIs. Warner looks like a man possessed. |  | | |

Annoying because Vince is an R isn't he? silly shot from Moeen but we should still have enough about us shouldnt we? |  |

176-7. Down to Stokes now to finish it. If he goes, we're fúcked. | |

8 down now.
I said before the World Cup started that Moeen could cost us a game and it looks like this the one.Why play a stupid shot when you need less than a run a ball? |  | | |
