Absolutely pumped by 9 wickets with almost 14 overs remaining! Net Run Rate will take some rescuing.
Attendances to date very poor. Supports the notion that Indians only love cricket when India are actually playing.
Looking forward to their match against the Aussies tomorrow when we will actually see a full stadium and what should be a great game.
England 301-3 v Bangladesh with 9.5 overs left.
327-6
364-9, pretty poor last 10 overs but, match is England's to lose.
Bangladesh 14-2, both wickets to Topley.
Topley on fire here, Bangladesh 26-3.
Bangladesh 221-9 with 4 overs remaining.
227 All Out.
Geoff Boycott, Mike Brearley , Ian Botham , Freddie Flintoff & Michael Vaughan your boys just got thumped , Well done Afghanistan

Quite a staggering performance or non performance in this World Cup from England, they have just not turned up. Pretty amazing with the players available and record over the last 6-7 years. They look like a team dreaming of the flight home.
Pakistan v South Africa up next, could be a cracker if the onfire version of Pakistan turns up.
A few years ago the only team capable of beating then in an ODI was Scotland. Now everyone can. :greengrinQuote:

Cracking match between Australia and New Zealand. another tight game at the end
England struggling again 33-3 after 8 overs chasing 230
Has there ever been a worse performance by the previous tournament’s winner?Quote:

According to the stats man England are the first mens team to be bowled out in under 35 overs three times in one tournament, shows how far they have fallen
The state of England in this tournament. 😳
Yep absolutely horrific. Got to assume some issues behind the scenes. Seems like every player is miles off their best form. Who is the England coach? Assume not McCullum.Quote:
