David Guiza Posted 24 June 2019 Posted 24 June 2019 Anybody think we could drop out of the top 4, or 1 win should do it? Pakistan looked good yesterday and you can't write off Bangladesh or even Sri Lanka stringing a couple of results together. Looks like Bangladesh will likely win comfortably today, baring a mammoth effort from Afghanistan.
TheSomersetFox Posted 24 June 2019 Posted 24 June 2019 Shakib with 5-fer and another 50 today. He’s been Player of the Tournament so far hasn’t he? Outstanding. Bangladesh now just the 1 point behind us
RowlattsFox Posted 24 June 2019 Posted 24 June 2019 Shame Afghanistan haven't been able to get over the line against India or Bangladesh, struggling with the run chase tactically. Credit to Bangladesh though, especially Shakib. Think we'll beat Australia tomorrow but then lose to them in a knockout match

Super_horns Posted 24 June 2019 Posted 24 June 2019 Big one tomorrow.. Can we get the win needed ? Aussies have a decent record at Lord's ..
Bert Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Reckon it’s gonna end a tie and rain have the biggest say. Out of the last three games I think this is the hardest. One win will do it.
Guest MattP Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Massive toss to win that in these conditions at Lords.
fuchsntf Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Thank god....we won the toss.... We are Bowling first....if We get a Rain Off it also wouldnt be bad....a point is better than non!! But we Should be positive....go All out for the win!!! Weather means Plunket misses out....we play 2 spinners..!! I Hope the Aussies dont & cant target One or both... But we Should Take big confidence being no1.und Remember it well......Arrogance with Confidence gives that extra squeeze in %. Bit the big word..discipline.....and we cant afford shredded nerves!!
Nick Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Well thats two of the worst anthems I've ever heard out of the way with. Bring on the rain. What a bloody shambles.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Need to get into their top order and nip a couple out early, stop them getting a foundation for a big score.
Guest MattP Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Not sure about the team selection though, two spinners instead of Plunkett in these conditions?
ealingfox Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Couldn't resist having a chunk on Australia at 11/10.

I expect Morgan knows what he’s doing as a Middlesex man unless he’s been overruled . Sadly dont think we’ll win this one

Last appearance here for England Plunkett took four wickets against the Indians. On paper seemed an obvious call, could even have shoved him in for Vince and shift someone up.

Bobby Hundreds Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Australia using all their summer's luck in this game.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 10 minutes ago, Chiltern Fox said: Poor line being bowled I'd argue length. Wood and Archer have been toilet.
Voll Blau Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Sounds like our bowling's forgotten how to deal with English conditions as well as our batting then?
David Guiza Posted 25 June 2019 Posted 25 June 2019 Moeen to change the game and Vince to steer us home .
