The England Cricket Thread

I know the 90's are properly in vogue again these days but I didn't need to see England cricket batting like the 90's.

They've been disgracefully bad this tournament.

Come on England, hang in there!!!

*edit*

Oh bloody hell.

:rolleyes:

Another dire performance, just let them go home now!

Sankari · 29 Oct 2023 at 15:37

119 runs from 17.4 overs, that might have been possible with a few more wickets in hand.

What on Earth is Aggers going on about?

England bowled well? India got 229

Sankari · 29 Oct 2023 at 15:51

You have got to be kidding me, that was an insult to the entire history of English cricket.

Silly Goose On The Loose · 29 Oct 2023 at 16:06

Every time this team plays, the somehow do worse. Incredible.

At this point it's just entertaining seeing how much they lose by.

Sankari · 29 Oct 2023 at 16:19

I expected to see India, England, South Africa, and Australia in the semi-finals. Now I don't know what to think.

Look on the bright side if Pakistan give Bangladesh a good hiding we could overtake them on NRR until the next time we play.

So Willey to retire after this farce is over.

As argueably the one England player who is actually trying to win he should have gone the whole hog and told the ECB to stick it and left for home now.

Damn, Saffers got smashed like a cougar on 'Grab a Granny' night!

:eek:

Sankari · 7 Nov 2023 at 19:25

Australia beats Afghanistan by 3 wickets after coming back from 7 for 91! Amazing scenes!

:eek:

Maxwell is an absolute beast, what an innings.

I suspect this game will traumatize Afghanistan for quite some time, it was literally theirs to lose, too many chances missed at dismissing Maxwell and they paid the price in the most unimaginable way.

They absolutely deserved to win that, but once Maxwell entered beast mode, he deserved to win it.

Huge respect for Cummins too, he was the perfect partner. Kept rotating strike, and faced 68 balls in the process.

Maxwell's innings was just heroic, absolutely incredible.

South Africa's Gerald Coetzee looks like an absolute prospect. 25 years old, can bowl at 90mph+ and bat a bit?

Looks like the future of South African cricket.

Saffers are on for being rugby and cricket world champs if you ask me. They will be absolutely intolerable; already arrogant enough as it is

He is only 23. With him and Jansen (also 23) we could have a couple of world class all rounders for years to come.

I have no hope of winning the semis - too many bad memories of what we usually do. Plus Aus has been getting better game by game, whilst SA batters have dropped in form.
