No idea. Cracking ball

[foxfanazer]

Nice start

[StanSP]

England absolutely smashing it. Again!

I know it's the always the case but I prefer us batting first and setting a target

With your 2 openers it does give them opportunities to go big with less pressure when batting first.

[The People's Hero]

I know I'm jinxing him here, but Bairstow is so lovely to watch when he's timing the ball and keeping that front elbow in check.

 

 

[StanSP]

Neither have slowed down at all even though it's PP2. 

 

Roy out as I type that.

[foxfanazer]

Good knock again. Lazy stroke though 

[David Guiza]

Is there any specifc reason as to why you can't have a runner in World Cup Cricket? 

 

I thought about it the other day when Stokes was visibly struggling and the commentators mentioned it wasn't allowed. It's allowed in most/all other forms, right?

[foxfanazer]

Root could do with a good innings

Don't think you're allowed them in any form any more.

Good question and I wondered this recently - and found this:

Assumed I'd just missed it 8 years ago.

Could city have a runner for Wes?

Big spacious ground with plenty of gaps, should be perfect for him.

[RowlattsFox]

Root is interesting in these situations, he scores at a reasonable speed without the big hitting but did probably go to deep into the overs against India.

[Super_horns]

New Zealand can still go through even with defeat today and a Pakistan win tomorrow so how motivated will be they to chase a big score?

 

So long as they don't lose really heavily.

Yep, nz should still make semis.

[EastAnglianFox]

I like Root still coming in at 3 and playing at around a run a ball for these middle overs.

 

All well and good saying get Buttler or Stokes in but if they were to go cheaply then its not looking such a great decision.

 

Let the big hitters have the last 10-15 overs to spank it around

[foxfanazer]

What a boy Bairstow is

[Izzy]

Bairstow is a role model hero for gingers everywhere 

[Voll Blau]

Come on everyone, keep winding Bairstow up! It's clearly worked...

[StanSP]

Root out for 24. Wasted review? Heard the nick as it went through as well.
