[Plum]

Started today, Eng 128/4 off 24, vs NZ.

Tendulkar reckons we will need around 300.

Tendulkar reckons we will need around 300.

Currently 200/5 with 15 overs left so it's just about on, Root and Livingston batting and we've got a long tail. Fingers crossed.

 

[GEvans76]

Stupid from Root a high risk option.

 

[springtiger]

Won’t get many more now

 

[Plum]

282/9, 50 overs, we'll need to bowl and field well!

 

[HulltoHellandback]

Not the best start to our title defence

 

[Plum]

Eng being slaughtered.

 

[Plum]

Lost by 9 wickets, 13 overs to spare! Bit embarrassing really.

 

[GEvans76]

Batters well below par.
That was painful to watch.

 

[Asterix]

Lifted from the stats on England's innings, no team in limited overs cricket has had every batter reach double figures.

Beaten by a team who didn't have one batsman on double figures. Brutal.

 

[pierredelafranchesca]

Bummed. No lube.

 

[Plum]

Bad day at the office, early days yet. Bangladesh and Afghanistan up next. If we don't beat those I'll start to wonder.

 

[Plum]

Blimey, SAF post 428/5 vs SL, 3 centuries.

 

[Jimmy Graham's bald head]

Much better showing against Bangladesh and also a boost to the net run rate which might come in handy

I would hope the same would be achieved against Afghanistan.

 

[Plum]

Bit of controversy in the Saf/Aus game. Stoinis given out caught behind off Bavuma, review, catch came off the hand that wasn't holding the bat. 3rd umpire says out, Bavuma doesn't withdraw the appeal so he has to go. Tasty!

 

[HulltoHellandback]

Any other team and I reckon he would have withdrawn the appeal. But with sandpapergate still fresh in the SA memory, no chance on this occasion

 

[LeftSaidFred]

**** the cheating convict ****s.

 

[Plum]

IND v PAK looking like it could be a good 'un. PAK 125/2 off 25.

Supposedly 130,000 people there!
