Cricket World Cup 2019

Roy out for 60 but thats his job more then done

All about getting us off to a flyer and him and Bairstow have done that again

Bairstow looks so much better and more confident alongside Roy

 

Two new basement in, on the verge of a collapse of sorts.

Let's see if Morgan can actually captain this situation.

 

Media over rate Buttler so much. Gets out cheaply miles too often

 

They’ve spewed this in the space of 10 overs

 

England completely lost their way now. Lucky to make 300 now

 

Pitch is slowing up...NZ will struggle badly

 

300 is a good total, Morgan needs to see to it we get it.

 

He will be seeing it we can from the changing room

277-7

Plunkett and Rashid at the crease

 

Well, had he not got out that is.

 

England have made 300 with 5 balls to spare

 

England end 305-8

 

New Zealand 2-1

Woakes got Nicholls lbw for a quacker

 

Had he referred it would have been overturned

 

What a catch from Buttler

New Zealand 14-2

 

Williamson run out bizzarely

Taylor smashes the ball back at Wood who fingertips it onto the stumps to run Williamson out

 

Williamson gone is more or less job done.

 

Ross Taylor now run out 69-4

 

Just noticed, one of the umpires is Rod Tucker.

He was pro at the cricket club I played at as a kid.

Played for NSW & Tasmania as well, think he might have had a couple of ODI matches for the Aussies.

I've netted against that guy.

 

Question

What would you rather win? The world cup or the ashes?

I would prefer the ashes myself. Cant stand seeing the aussies beat us

 

I think we need to go all out to win this.

The Ashes come round a lot more regularly, they are still a big thing but the next set is always just round the corner.

Given a preference though, I'd rather we won both.
