[Terry Gibson's perm]

To have a side with four seamers in it is madness when the Afghan spinners have caused the damage.

Big upset on now.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I would love to know the amount of back up staff that England have compared to Afghanistan. Trotty is in the wrong dugout

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Dutch

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Come on the Dutch.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Four down!

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Sooner or later South Africa Have got to start attacking they need over 7 an over off the last 20.Interesting.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

The upset in on now.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Great win well done the Dutch. With 38 runs to spare.

Fantastic, lifeline going into Saturday now

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

With a bit (!) better fielding Afghanistan would be pulling off another shock, lost count of how many they’ve put down

This tournament feels long already and there must be ages to go yet, 50 over cricket will die as they can get two t20 games in during a day and that will appeal more. I love cricket but haven’t watched more than half a game yet.

My favourite format is test cricket, so the 50 over matches still seem very short to me

South Africa going along nicely.

If England lose this one they're in big trouble, going to be a real battle to get out of the group stage with 5 games left including India, Pakistan, Australia and Sri Lanka.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

92 off the last 7 and still 3 overs to go.There on for 400 here.I cannot believe the bowling i'm watching.

 

[chiefdave]

28-3 needing 400 and a huge let off for Stokes. You can clearly hear he hits it but no spike

 

[StrettoBoy]

We could easily lose this by 200-250 runs, in which case there is a chance we will be rock bottom of the table on NRR.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Imagine leaving Livingstone out for a half fit Stokes, Brook who they wanted to leave out looks good to me.

 

[StrettoBoy]

We could easily lose this by 200-250 runs

Looking a bit optimistic now

 

[chiefdave]

Looking a bit optimistic now

for all the pre-tournament talk of England batting deep and nearly everyone who bowls being an all-rounder after these two you've got Willey, Rashid, Atkinson, Wood and Topley. Not seeing 300 runs there.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Won’t make 100

 

[StrettoBoy]

We just need Willey and Rashid to put on 300+ for the 7th wicket and we are in with a shout.

 

[tisza]

Shambolic with bat & ball. Said it before this white ball bowling attack isn't good outside English conditions

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Taken the wrong players, ludicrous not to take Sam Hain at least he can bat time and score quickly enough, no good being able to smash sixes if you only make a few runs. Should have taken Ahmed as well.

 

[StrettoBoy]

We could easily lose this by 200-250 runs, in which case there is a chance we will be rock bottom of the table on NRR.

Thanks to Wood and Atkinson having a bit of fun in a lost cause at the end we are only ninth, ahead of Afghanistan on NRR by two one thousands of a run.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Just need to watch England get twatted at the rugby for the ultimate shit day. Pathetic performances, reminiscent of the 1999 World Cup

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

This should be the end of this group but somehow I doubt it is

 

[Mcbean]

Dire ! Get thrashed again in the Rugby and City loosing - so depressing

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Truly embarrassing this competition

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

After today we are bottom of the table

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

De Kock is brilliant, going out in style

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Klasson isn't far behind.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Just like when England bowled to them some of the bowling leaves a lot to be desired.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

If you bowl short it ends in the stands and so it should.

Joke comment from Root - don’t touch the ECBs pet project
