ICC Men's World Cup 2023, Ahmedabad:
England 282-9 (50 overs): Root 77 (86), Buttler 43 (42); Henry 3-48
New Zealand 283-1 (36.2 overs): Conway 152* (121), Ravindra 123* (96)
New Zealand won by nine wickets

Not a good start

 

That has got to be amongst the worst defeats in our odi history. Up there with losing to Netherlands.

 

Bit harsh, we didn't bowl very well, but New Zealand are a quality team.
They will be there or there about in the final stages

 

Lets hope NZ peaks in that game. A bit silly they played it in a 132k stadium made the crowd of 47k look tiny

Poor Australia got spanked by South Africa... hahahaha

NZ currently on top Vs Bangladesh

 

Poor reply so far by England v Afghanistan

52-2 after 10 overs, chasing 285

Update 68 - 3. We're going to **** this up

 

Update 91-4 after 17

 

You are so right BB. But I have just watched the England Fiji rugby, and we won that one. Time for bed for me now.

 

Why have our fast bowlers suddenly forgot how to bowl. Woakes and Curren, who I have thought of as good international players, we're abysmal against Afghanistan.

 

The batters weren't much better either

 

I am a Yorkshire supporter and the top four were all Yorkies. Only Brook did anything. And Welshman Malan failed for once.

 

How about giving some credit to Afghanistan for the cricket they played.

 

400 to win against South Africa and already 1 down, not looking pretty

 

Make it two down
