[Red_Ink_Squid]

Hyped for this. Been looking forward to England's first WC game for ages.

In case anyone in the UK isn't aware, this game is an early start time of 6.00am.

Yeah, you lot haven't played since that semi-final thumping of Australia last time. Might be on a roll here

Topley looks a genuine 6’7” btw

 

[thierry henry]

I have no intention of trolling England tbh, just killing time in a pub. But jeez they really don’t nick many.

Had set alarm for 6, but I had one of those nights sleep where I kept waking up thinking it was already 6 and man am I exhausted.

YJB to go big

Hoping for a repeat of 2015. Bangers with Shakib and better bowling attack.

I really bring it on myself huh. This is the quintessential Malan innings. 50% play and miss, cover drives, leg side bosh, 140(120)

Sadly for you, you will be disappointed

6pm here (almost half past now). Good time to watch.

Yeah that’s optimum time really from my POV and a shame that games largely end before the working day here. But tbf I’m just glad the games largely occur in my waking hours.

 

[thierry henry]

Turned out to be a great umpiring decision and non-review

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Am I right in assuming that Shakib and Mushfiqur are the only players in the tournament who played in 2007? Anyone else?

Sounds correct to me but I am only halfway through my first coffee so

 

[thierry henry]

Yeah England are scoring a lot here

Woakes is at 7 though so not as deep as last game

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Solid start this.

 

[GIMH]

Not sure what was sloppier for that overthrow, the Bangas fielding or the TV coverage

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice empty ground again. Shambles from India.
