[Number 1 Jasper]

Not sure they needed waking up, they are favourites for a very good reason. Whatever happens, our NRR won’t suffer too much after this game anyway!

We will have to agree to disagree .

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Jos gets a 75 ball century!

 

[ChilcoSaint]

And out....


Game over.

 

[tomw24]

We missed out on maximum batting points by just 6 runs!

56 actually.

 

[st_brendy]

It was always very likely that we'd need a 20 run over somewhere at the end. Obviously losing Jos has greatly reduced our chances of getting such an over.

 

[tomw24]

And out....


Game over.

58 from 5 overs is not game over.

 

[Bill Hill]

How good is the tail. Its time to find out

 

[ChilcoSaint]

58 from 5 overs is not game over.

Moeen’s form is hardly inspiring though.

Not as good without Plunkett, Curran or Willey. And with Moeen out of form.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

56 actually.

Right, I forgot they’d changed it this season.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Good over!

 

[tomw24]

Right, I forgot they’d changed it this season.

Umm, it's been 400 for a while.

 

[st_brendy]

Moeen might only get one more innings until Dawson gets a go. Need a number 7 in form, and he just isn't.

 

[tomw24]

Here's Joffra!

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Oh dear.

 

[Bill Hill]

We don't want to peak to early anyway (serious comment not sarcastic) - its a long tournament

 

[tomw24]

Oh well, only a minor setback.

 

[Bill Hill]

Of course we dont want to lose but its about learning and fine tuning - and ensuring we get to semis

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Right, I’m going with @Number 1 Jasper and @Bill Hill , that was a good game to lose, and hopefully a few adjustments will be made. Not sure we can rely on Moeen’s batting or Wood’s bowling. Dawson and Plunkett for the Bangladesh game please.

 

[Bill Hill]

Hoping vince gets a(nother) chance.
