Very poor tournament so far from Rashid

 

Excellent from Archer today. Streets ahead of the others.

 

Really can't see us chasing this down. I feel like this is going to be another limp defence of a world cup.

 

England have the best batting of anyone in the tournament. Stupid to write them off.

 

Yeah, I mean it’s a big ask, but amazing how quickly people are giving up here!

 

The pitch may not be a road, but a short boundary is a short boundary. PP will be key.

 

Just shows how badly wrong the decision was to play Wood, that he doesn't bowl his 4th over.

The likes of Jordan and Moeen offer more than just bowling, so if ever they don't bowl out, it can be justified. But Wood really is in for bowling alone.

Sam should have started this game (or otherwise Topley), with Wood put aside from using to blast out Oman next game. But just watch us react to today, by dropping Wood vs Oman.

(Wood wouldn't have even made my squad tbh. I'd have probably gone with Mills.)

 

Very solid PP.

 

That's 6 - he touched the rope!

 

I didn't enjoy watching these two taking down the Brave in a big run chase last summer. But I'm very much enjoying them doing it to the Aussies here.

 

It’s been a great response, bang on the target. Be interesting if we can maintain it when the field spreads a bit.
Oh, 1 down.

 

Nothing rash against Zampa please Jacks.

 

Oh Jos. That was ****ing stupid.

 

Well, I was starting to hope…

 

28 runs from our last 5 overs. All since the ball was thrown to Zampa.

 

And slowing down

 

That’s enough of that. Outclassed.

 

Still need at least one more over like that. Probably two of them.

Aussies got greedy by giving Maxwell a second over. They didn't need to.

 

Mo!
