This is nothing to do with England or the CWC, but cricket nerds (paging Tighty) might enjoy this scorecard, which EvilPingu posted Next Door;

Had blocked out the two semi finals days from my work calendar, in order to book the day off I needed...perhaps I needant have bothered!

So who would people replace Vince with, since it’s widely speclulated that he has to go now?

As a Kent supporter, I would say Denly!

For one game only?

Hales.

Hales is persona non grata

Denly not good enough. Competent but not an international opener

Vince incapable of not wafting airily against the moving ball (great on flat tracks, which Edgaston next should be) but we are stuck with him until Roy is fit

If Stokes was to miss out its a really tough player to replace.

Not sure I'd trust Pak for 311 bucks, never mind 311k

Roy on 1 leg

Think we have to do this on Sunday vs India. If it ends up making his hammy worse and he's out for a few weeks after then replace him in the squad with Hales (Morgan back-tracked slightly during the week about him, so there seems more chance of that happened then a few weeks back).

Continuing with Vince against Bumrah and Shami in their current form is a huge risk, confidence (or lack of it) must be an issue.

Other options within the squad would be open with Moeen (looks out of nick also) and go 3 spinners since Edgbaston turned loads last game, or swap Vince with Root to take the heat off slightly. But Roy on 1 leg seems the best for me

^ fresh pitch tomorrow, last one was used.

still will be slow but got to take the chance on Roy

I don’t necessarily disagree but it is amazing if it is the best plan we have. Do we know if he can run? Surely he isn’t allowed a sub in the field for a pre-existing condition.

[buzzharvey22]

He was running on and off with the drinks the other day and has been having a knock in the nets.

Nice to see the real England back today.

Bring on the Kiwis!

Probably one of the first times ever Pakistan were rooting for India to win!
