I have to say, that innings by Joe Root is one of the best I have seen in any form of the game. The maturity and confidence he showed in the pacing of his innings against a strong, world class attack was incredible.
Very happy with my ticket on England at 8/1 to win this world cup.

not a hope unless the bowling turns up cannot win the world cup with willey (who i like a lot), topley, jordan, stokes (who i like a lot) and two spinners (both of whom i like a lot) just too hittable. he had to bowl topley and jordan towards the end today and his (morgan's) face was a picture only plunkett in reserve the batting line up is great to watch though |

Amazing game. The remarkable thing about Root's innings is he doesn't even look like he is in overdrive. Roy did brilliantly, but he looks like he is slogging and right on the edge. Root just looks so smooth yet scores like a rocket.
Someone mentioned it the other day, but England should look to chase every game I think so they don't have to worry about setting targets.

Jordan has got to be dropped I am amazed he still gets a gig. Plunkett would be the first seamer on the teamsheet for me. Spinners were v good tonight I thought.
I'd like Dawson to play too on a turning track.
New Zealand have got it right so far not afraid to drop the big guns to benefit the team.
Would be lovely to be on Santner top wicket taker! (I'm not)

Today was one of the days where I wished I still played poker for a living and not had a job. Got home to watch the last 4 overs though #everycloud

Not too fussed if they keep playing Jordan, but Topley needs dropping, he will never make an international cricketer as long as he has a hole in his bum.

mind you, any team defending anything at kolkota and mumbai under lights is going to struggle.
like fielding on Leicester viccy park rec in november its that wet
huge toss bias in these games
need to bat first up north where its dry and dusy and bowl first in the big cities

So if England lose tomorrow we're all but out of the comp. Thoughts on the format? Seems a bit silly that this can happen. Why don't we just put all 10 teams in 1 group and everyone plays everyone instead
Or maybe we could have two slightly bigger groups, and let some associates play? Just a thought  |

Awesome batting performance from England,but they cannot bail out the bowlers every game. England wont get he chance to bat 2nd every game either and they cannot defend a total at all.
Topley bowling was a fking joke. Parks cricketer coudn't do any worse.
Neither Jordan or Stokes bowling is good enough for T20, both just get hit too easily.

I think Jordan has played way too much international cricket for England over the last couple of years. He doesn't contribute enough with ball or bat and being an exceptional fielder seems to be blind some of his inadequacies.
