CRICKET - Champions Trophy (1 Viewer)

[Covstu]

Need a hard wicket as the game plan seems to be bang it in back of a length and get the batsmen skying it!

if it works, it works......

The Pakistan v SA game could be getting interesting. SA only made 219 but Pakistan are 42-2 after 10 and struggling to get runs at the moment, couple more wickets and a cracking finish could be on the cards.

Ive been waiting for the West Indies to play

They've been playing a series against Afganistan. Big fall from grace!

I'm guessing the final will be at Lord's? If so then doubt the pitch will do us any favours. Bit of a graveyard in recent years for us.

Cheers.
If we can dodge the rain in Cardiff, probably see the firmest pitch at the Oval. So glad it's not Lord's.

Fantastic win for Sri Lanka!
Now makes the last 2 games In that group winner goes through as all 4 teams on 2 points after 2 games!

So one of India or South Africa & one of Sri Lanka through.

Sensational win by Bangladesh!

Some knock by Shakib & Mahmudulla!!

England win tomorrow Bangladesh go into the Semis!

 

[Covstu]

Going to be a strange one tomorrow, bit of a free knock but it's against the Aussies so I wonder whether we will turn up fully or not?

If this England side has any desire to win the World Cup in 2 years time they need to be ruthless and keep turning up and beating everyone!

 

[Covstu]

Agree but it's England so you never know. The Aussies looked ropey against NZ and after two failed games they should be there for the taking

Don't see how you can not be up for a game against the Aussies at a sold out Edgbaston. Any player that isn't able to motivate themselves for that shouldn't be in the side.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Massive chance to send the Aussies home here but don't write off their bowling attack!
Especially Starc in these conditions!

Shame they fluked those runs at the end. Put on about 20 for that last wicket through flashing the blade and getting a bit lucky.

Might that just make a difference perhaps.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Why has Roy reviewed that!? Absolute desperation!!

 

[Otis]

It was plum wasn't it. Very selfish that and not done for the team.

Need to bat our for a few overs now, try and take the sting out of the Aussie attack.

 

[chiefdave]

Thought this was going to be an easy run chase but not so sure now.

These 2 opening the bowling especially are a class act to be fair.

 

[chiefdave]

Annoying that there's so many empty seats today. Applied for tickets in the ballot but didn't get them as it was said to be massively over subscribed.

 

[Covstu]

Surely Roy has to be dropped in the next round? We look in big trouble at the moment !

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Time for some rain please

Yes thought the same, I didn't apply as I am in for the test in August but seems bizarre

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Steven smith is such a miserable little baby

 

[Covstu]

Hazlewood killing us however

Hazlewood killing us however

He's like a modern day McGrath!

Aim for top of off let the ball and the bat do the rest

 

[Covstu]

Morgan and stokes settled in nicely, would be great if they can push for the tonne

 

[chiefdave]

134 off 162 balls with 7 wickets left. Very gettable and would be useful to get the Aussies out of the competition.

 

[Covstu]

Stupid way to get out Morgan!

 

[Covstu]

Fantastic knock stokes!

 

[Covstu]

Thank you DLS!

 

[Otis]

Would have won easily without it too.

 

[Covstu]

Yep stokes was on fire!
