Final | England vs Pakistan | Melbourne, 13 November 2022

[DriveClub]

Can live with this, but if England win the football world cup I'll see y'all later.

That's never happening

 

[trundler]

Haha oh the opposition's best bowler who was handling us our ass went down as we choked chasing under 140 how's that lucky

 

[slippy888]

I'm loving this it would have been a nightmare for India cricket the next 20 years if Pakistan won the cup

 

[grecian]

In fairness it’s not like Bairstow, Malan, Wood are all injured

and Archer, oh yeah might as well forget about him, and ermm Topley...

 

[sledger]

In fairness it’s not like Bairstow, Malan, Wood are all injured

I think what we need to remember here is that it's somehow England's fault for scoring runs off the bowlers they've faced

None of this "you can only play the opposition put in front of you" rubbish

Yes and purely through luck we were chasing 140

doing this without wood, malan and their best T20 bowler by a mile archer

I’m just a humble neutral who wants to see good cricket

Well you of all people should be wary of watching midgets

 

[Burgey]

I feel so bad for Afridi, he may have nightmares after this. it doesnt come worse than be forced off the field at a critical moment and then watching your team lose from the bench.

It was the previously uninjured knee wasn’t it? Hopefully he’s not out for very long.

Fair post except the myth named Archer.

nah archer is gun consistently at t20

only bloke in bumrahs league

 

[DriveClub]

Archer is terrible in t20s

"He's blowing Ben Stokes"

This is why punctuation matters

 

[Son Of Coco]

Obviously a couple of huge asterisks against this win:

* Fate took Pakistan's best bowler away at a clutch moment. A fact that will have England reluctant to claim this as a win.

* They never got to play last year's champions but instead took a lucky point when the rest of the cricketing community know all too well that Australia would have dominated, taken the points, and replaced England in the semis.

* *****

I thought it was the one he did earlier in the year.

Eh? Dreadful take.

Tbh Topley’s a gun, makes the first XI for sure imo

Yeah, I may've omitted Nass's obvious comma for comedic effect...

 

[sledger]

*Got more runs whilst losing fewer wickets

If Stokes see us home, I'll happily blow him
