Bar the Aussie result on Saturday we've shown how we can turn games around if we've been in a tricky situation so we could and should go all the way this time.
So semi final balls up it is!!
 
England put 311 up, very gettable by SA. Oh, and Moeen Ali owes us some runs.
 
Fantastically professional performance and a message sent to all of those competing .. we ARE the real deal .. and what a brilliant catch by Stokes ... batted well bowled well and fielded like demons. onwards and upwards
 
Yeah great performance under pressure as favourites, hosts and the opening game. I do think we are the strongest team going into it, but once in the semis, anyone can have a good day.

I was a bit surprised at the margin of the win, when I went to bed SA were 112-2 or something like that after 20 overs, and I thought they were favourites to get the win. Woke up to a convincing result for England. As already mentioned what a catch of Stokes, and good bowling by Archer..
 
It is great to get a win under our belts, show everyone we are the real deal and its not all hype. It will hopefully help with the nerves too, as you can't help being nervous when you are favourites in a home World Cup.
 
Don't they only have 4 front line bowlers? Should be ok, though you'd be happy chasing that total at Trent Bridge, it seems our fielding wasn't as good as it has been and we've given them 20-30 more than they should have got.
 
And Bairstow gone now. Might need a contribution from Moeen at this rate...
