If Serbia had anyone remotely creative in the 8 or 10 position, we’d have been in lots of trouble this evening.

We just have more clinical players than most teams such as Serbia so will be fine. When we play a team who are just as clinical, we always get caught.

Soaked this pressure up well. Look solid defensively and dangerous on the counter attack.

You’d be wanting that if it was the other way around

Why did Serbia sit off us for the first 20?

It’s good that we’re winning more than we’re not but we’re also far too reliant on certain players at the moment. Currie, Goldsworthy, Patel, Ahmed and Hull are the only players who have done anything so far. Which is also promising in a weird way

As I’ve said, Handscomb’s captaincy is alarmingly bad

Say that again, he’ll get another wicket

Rishi must be getting fed up of everyone failing around him game after game.

Finishing aside, the Dutch have looked class so far

As the person said at the start, Fondue is better than Goulash

They actually have some decent players. Lots of Serie A pedigree with Broja up top. Think they could shock Italy.

Hungary being starved of possession so far

20 teams has been great. Uganda have been crap yet still beat Papua New Guinea. Realistically Zimbabwe would be a lot stronger than Uganda but blew it in the qualifiers. Oman were competitive v Aussies, Nepal nearly beat South Africa. The international t20 game is in a very healthy position right now.

Interesting one at New Road tonight. Notts get one run ahead of the D/L, Hales goes down injured for a few minutes, the rain starts and they go off and win.

Handscomb’s bowling changes are shocking

Looking like super eights will be India Australia Afghanistan Bangladesh USA England West Indies South Africa No reason that England can’t reach the semi’s. I’m really interested in Afghanistan though, they can 100% win this competition imo (cue the Aussies winning it).

Bild is trash.

It’s not as simple as this but the argument I always have for Reform types is this. 1. Do you pay British workers a better wage so that they will do the dull, depressing manual/social care jobs? If yes, great immigration can come down. If no, then who is filling the gaps? 2. We got rid of the Eastern European immigrants after 2016 to do those jobs and have replaced them with Zimbabweans, Indians, Ghanaians etc (ironically non white which will rile up reform types more). A modern economy simply cannot run with no immigration or poor wages. You have to choose one or the other. You pay poor wages, you need high immigration. Reform and other parties will not commit to improving worker rights and pay because they’re horrible ultra capitalist vultures. Therefore without immigrants our society would collapse. Reform know it but still lie to their electorate because ultimately hating Jonny foreigner is a winner.

England are back baby

Yeah. An Indian player in the IPL was interviewed about this the other week. Deliberately only got a single then hit a 6 in that exact scenario.

I think from some fag packet maths, less than 6 overs should see us overtake Scotland tonight

Antigua could be another New York. 47 par score on a tricky wicket.

Starmer is wild. The bloke loves football, his favourite band is orange juice, clearly loves a good craft IPA, the kind of quintessential middle class dad who listens to 6music and cooks Ottolenghi recipes. Yet he sets himself up as the most boring man on earth. Show that inner charisma young sir.
