The England Cricket Thread

I can't remember ever cheering on the Saffers before.

111/5

Not gonna lie, it's looking rough for the Lankans.

Bees stopped play...there's a headline you don't see every day.

Sankari · 28 Jun 2019 at 15:38

Credit to the Lankans for reaching 203, but I think it'll still be an easy win for the Saffers.

Should be an interesting encounter tomorrow. I live 20 mins from Edgbaston and really want to go, but can't.

Anyway, I can see England losing to both India and New Zealand, and I don't think Bairstow's child-like rants are helping the situation.

England game is on Sunday.

Well that was a shame. At least the Saffers can't advance.

Tonight's AU/NZ game might be happening too late at night for me, so just in case I'm not here to cover it with my usual play-by-play commentary, here's...

Aussie's rattled!

Big 3 all gone with 46 runs on the board!

HAT-TRICK!!!

It's going off in both games here. Pakistan are crumbling too.

Cob · 29 Jun 2019 at 17:54

Heart-breaking for the Afghans

B&W · 29 Jun 2019 at 17:57

Yes gooooo Pakistan what a match !

muon · 29 Jun 2019 at 17:57

The 46th over made no sense. Afghanistan were the better team for most of that game.

Yas786 · 29 Jun 2019 at 18:00

Shocking scenes as Pakistan snatch a victory from the jaws of death.

What a game lads, what a game

That was one of the most tense endings I've seen. Pakistan had almost lost all hope until the last 4 overs. Great cricket.

Sankari · 30 Jun 2019 at 03:47

Afghanistan was robbed. They really need a decent death bowler. Having said that, it was great to see Pakistan panicking against a minnow.

I did not expect us to win against the Kiwis, and certainly not by such a huge margin. Amazing scenes!

Yas786 · 30 Jun 2019 at 10:41

Lol at Afghanistan being robbed lol. They weren’t robbed, they just didn’t have enough quality to finish off Pakistan yesterday.
It would have been a robbery if a few decisions went against them ie being called a no ball when the bowler was behind the line when bowling.

Epic game though, didn’t think Pakistan would win the game. Absolute madness from Pakistan time and time again, think my brain almost melted at one point.

Shocking scenes as NZ were beaten comprehensively by the Aussies yesterday. Was rooting for them to win and beat the Aussies but alas not to be.

India looking very colourful this morning.

Sankari · 30 Jun 2019 at 10:53

Bairstow in fine form right now. Hope that continues!
