England 208 - 6. 20 overs.

 

Australia already look like they are going to have a very good run at this even after one over

 

A 138 - 3 13 overs

 

You don't see that too often in cricket. Wade is fortunate.

 

England won by 8 runs

 

What a brilliant game of cricket! Impossible to predict a winner right up until the penultimate ball. So good to have Mark Wood back!

 

England 140 - 4 16 overs

 

England 178 ic.

 

OZ 62 - 3 9 overs

 

England won by 8 runs

 

Rain stops play. The things the Aussies will do to stop a whitewash.
Come on Australia. Sort the weather out.

 

E 112 - 2 12 overs. Oz target 130 rain permitting. Duckworth Lewis
(Needless to say I haven't a clue how the method works!)

 

Their target won't be 113. The target will be DLS amended.

 

Target 130.

 

A 30 - 3 3.5 overs RSP.

No result

 

Stokes still looks off the pace. Exceptional cricketer but just not with it at the moment and don't think he deserves a starting spot with the talent we have available.

 

I kind of see your point but Stokes is a match winner in so many different ways (batting, bowling, fielding) that I don't think we can leave him out.

 

I see Scotland beat the West Indies in their first WC match. Great win!

 

He was poor with the ball this morning but doing well to prove me wrong with the bat so far!

 

Bowling is probably his "weakest" asset to be fair.
