    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Just need Taylor's wicket now I think. Preferably before he gets a match winning 150

    Mark Wood's finger >

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Yeah feel for NZ there. Weirdly I think Nicholls had made up his mind that he was out when it was given. By the time Guptil went to talk to him he was already taking his gloves off.

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    That didn't look out imo

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    At that awkward stage now where we don't really want to lose another wicket before the last 10, but need to keep scoring relatively quickly. The pitch against India was much tougher to play on than this pitch, so 350+ seems a necessity against a team who haven't got too much riding on them...

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Unlucky but ultimately not an awful time to lose Root. If we get to the last 20 overs only 2 down his job has pretty much been done. Need to make sure we don't collapse a bit now though

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Hopefully he can go on and get a big hundred now. Always threatens to do so

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Reckon the weather has a lot to do with it to be fair. Been consistently hot and dry for a while now. Could be significant for our chances if we make it to the semis. It's the sort of pitch where you think if NZ can restrict Eng to no more than 350 then they still have an okay chance of...

    40th Match - Bangladesh v India

    Bangladesh well in here. Could be very significant if they managed to get a result, as it would mean England absolutely 100% have to beat NZ to go through. Could still theoretically rely on bangladesh beating pakistan if they don't

    40th Match - Bangladesh v India

    Harsh decision in the end but don't know what Manjrekar thinks would have been gained if they looked at the ball tracker first? Ambiguity of the possible edge would have still existed so same decision would have occured and India would have lost their review anyway? His commentary really is...

    41st Match - England v New Zealand

    Fairly confident that we are going to turn up for this game against a side who's confidence has depleted a bit in the last few games. Think we have the better team, just about performing on the day.

    38th Match - India v England

    No room for him unfortunately. Wouldn't say that he deserves to be in instead of Wood, Archer, Woakes or Plunkett based on their performances, and playing 5 right-arm seamers would offer too little variety. With Archer having a slight niggle (thats being controlled well thankfully) and Wood...

    38th Match - India v England

    Na he's done well. 3/40, 2/40, 3/18, 2/52 and 2/53 in his other WC games. Honestly didn't think he deserved to be in that squad but he is making some good returns. Whether Plunkett could have produced similar results had he been playing instead is a different question, but the pace of Wood...

    38th Match - India v England

    Yeah Rashid hasn't bowled badly at times. He weren't too bad today on a pitch that was obviously hard for spinners. He seems to have lost a little consistency though which I can definitely see being down to a subtle injury like that. Ali offers more control but probably won't roll through a team...

    38th Match - India v England

    Still bizarre timing on your part to randomly bring up England's chasing capabilities when your team failed to chase down the score they set them though. We've been abysmal in our last few chases to be fair, but I don't think India's batting would have faired much better chasing against aus and pak.

    38th Match - India v England

    I'm usually the first to s**t on Wood but he has had a pretty decent WC so far though hasn't he? Excluding this anyway. Just weren't his pitch. The taller bowlers were getting tennis ball bounce while his balls kept skidding along making him easier to face. I feel like England should...

    22nd Match - India v Pakistan

    Gonna be at least a bit of a game by the looks of it

    21st Match - South Africa v Afghanistan

    Tbh, the way Afghanistan have been playing in this tournament isn't a good advert for the inclusion of associate nations. They've been a bit of a shambles

    19th Match - England v West Indies

    Root now has more WC hundreds than Kohli :ph34r:

    19th Match - England v West Indies

    Think he picked up a pretty bad injury in the IPL didn't he? Cottrell and Thomas have put in decent performances in ODIs before this tournament as well
