The Aussie defeat to India and Afghanistan beating Bangladesh means Australia are OUT!
For me that's up there with the Jocks going home from the Euros with 1 point! Hahhahahahhahahahh! F*CK OFF!

Semis are ENGvIND and RSAvAFG. India v SA final then?

Even funnier considering they beat us. And we've now got through to the quarter finals

You've got to laugh at the roo shaggers!

And after they were talking about engineering the run rate in their game against Scotland so that we went out!!

Big achievement by Afghanistan. England have to tidy up that 1st bowling powerplay against India - sloppy overs there have been a big factor in the defeats to Australia & SA.

Afghanistan demolished but you'd want a more balanced pitch than that for a WC semifinal. Some of the pitches just haven't been up to scratch.

The whole tournament has been sub standard with empty grounds.

they were saying on comms the times are totally unsuitable for where the games are being played. They've scheduled games based on requirements for Indian TV rather than when people will actually be able to go

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Toss delayed while India decide if they want the two headed or two tailed coin.

 

[Grendel]

It’s pretty bizarre there is no spare day and if it’s rained off India go through as they won their group

Dodgy. All been based around India/Indian tv by sounds of it.

Starting in 20 mins or so, so hopefully no issue. England win toss and bowl

Sparse crowds and shit atmosphere, it must be like watching Birmingham City.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Topley looks lively on this

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

First wicket Kohli 19 for 1. 2.4 overs

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Rohit is lucky

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Two wickets down quick get the covers on no rain just get them on

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

55 for 2 7 overs steady from both sides.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

India 65/2 off 8 - rain stopped play

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

TGP got your wish covers after 8 overs 65 for 2.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Inspection due 6-15 could start soon after. The direction the weather is coming from looks good.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Restart due 6 - 40.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I wonder why India’s semi final is here

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Ten overs left 11 over from here and only 4 wickets .Do it from here and we deserve it.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Waste of time a wicket prepared for the Indian spinners at a ground they were guaranteed to play at. Where is the final being played Mumbai?

England running out of pitch?

 

[CCFCSteve]

Bit of a spanking that. No doubt the tournament leant towards India and pitch was favorable but why didn’t we bat first and/or bowl Mo if that was the case ?

We lost to all the good teams we faced (India, SA and Australia) so didn’t really deserve to make the final.

Motty got to go ?

Ditch the Hundred and go from there.

Morty should be replaced by Trotty and they need to end the international careers of Ali Jordan Bairstow and Curran.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Always amuses me how my Indian teammates suddenly engage a lot more on WhatsApp when they win.

 

[chiefdave]

Was out (at Villa Park ) so missed it, sounds like we didn't put up much of a fight

Me too... What a shithole!

Also have to question why they're even playing Moeen if he's not going to bowl. His batting isn't good enough to have in the side even if he is a left handed.

the whole balance of the side is a mess. there's too many players they insist on playing no matter what and from there they struggle to put together a line up that makes sense.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

Put Bellingham in at 8

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

How unlucky was that South Africa needed 16 off the last over and caught on the boundary off the first ball going for a six with the fielder about an inch away from touching it with his foot.Lost by 7 runs.

 

[tisza]

Test rebuild begins. Bowling attack will be interesting after the first Test. Like the Smith inclusion.
