    Yeah they look good but we seem to be approaching our best form at just the right time. No reason why we can’t turn them over.

    Rashid has probably been our best player this tournament, we’ll need him and Sam Curran (he hasn’t really got going yet) to be on top of their game. I believe these two guys could win the match for us.

    I saw something on Sky re Sam Curran, it was either in a lunch break or a rain delay. They said that his figures dont always come out at the top when reviewed, but he does appear in a large percentage of winning teams for England, which is taken into account

    He’s one of the best players in the world when it comes to this form of the game. He became the record buy in the IPL. The bowlers will win this game coming up.

    Also no reserve day for the england v india but the other semi gets one.

    If our game is rained off India into the final as they "won" their group.

    Not having a resever day for a semi final is ludicrous imo

    Good over from Curran there. Get Rohit and you get India. Might shut these biased Indian commentators up*


    *yes, I'm still banging on about that

    Joke this mind. Particularly the rules. Never heard anything as stupid as literal Different rules for the different games. Congratulations to the corrupt bastards in India and at the organisers committee. Bet their pockets are full

    Well it’s sunny at the minute apparently. But they’re still off the pitch. The umpires pockets must be bulging!!
