8th Match - Afghanistan v England

[Molehill]

It's ok, we've got our top all rounder Overton coming to the crease now, this should be a formality.

 

[Stefan9]

Liam gone and with him England unless Joe pulls a miracle.

 

[kevinw]

Can't wait for Buttler's positive media comments later.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Into the bowlers, is that game over?

 

[Darwin Award]

Australia might actually want England to win.

If Afghanistan win & it's a 'winner takes all' match against Afghanistan then the pressure is on.

If England win but lose to South Africa then Australia will go through regardless.

 

[SkyBlue]

Required run rate 9 an over now.

Something's gotta give in the next few overs I guess

Once upon a time Adil Rashid was a capable batsman with 10 First Class centuries. What happened?

Especially if Overton keeps patting back to the bowler.

Can't wait for Buttler's positive media comments later.

If they lose this one I think we might get a more honest assessment from him today.

Despite the T20 WC win his white ball captaincy has been a flop overall. A shame for a great and likeable player individually and I think the decline on his watch is far from all on him. But it's not gone well, has it. I don't think he's going to turn it around at this point.


This game hasn't completely gone yet though...

But have you considered how funny Australia might find it

 

[Molehill]

You won't see many tons celebrated less than that, but he's held the innings together when the others have been doing daft stuff.

He certainly still belongs in this team.

 

[Athlai]

DIdn't think Root still had it in him for ODIs, good stuff

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Class act Rooty

Shame about the rest

Averages not much shy of 40 at a 116 SR. Some fraud.

Averages doesn't matter if he can't able to perform in ICC events.Maxwell averages 33 with a strike rate of 120 plus but he has performed when it matters.

Not an ICC Event but innings like this definitely matter.
