Good start, this. 

 

I think Buttlers time has finally come. Time to call time on a damn good international career. 

[leicsmac]

... what the hell was that shot?

 

Brook being unique again. 

[Super_horns]

Making life hard for ourselves as ever.

 

Just cannot build partnerships at the top.

[StanSP]

Wicket first ball after drinks for both teams. 

[leicsmac]

 

Good time to play the Saffers next up though, usually when they have their customary agonising defeat.

 

 

[Aleksz]

Rehan 

[Corky]

What a boy. Looks made for this level.

[StanSP]

Decent game considering both have qualified

Rehan 

God he's good.

I had to open my big mouth. 

[RowlattsFox]

Lovely way to win it. 

 

For all thier faults they have shown some bottle to win so far in this tournament. Going to need the openers to step up if we're going to win the thing though. 

 

Great to see Rehan have an impact, going to be class once he finds a bit of consistency. 

Shame we are not staying in Sri Lanka.

WinViz had New Zealand at 80% to win less than 5 minutes ago 

[StanSP]

Ignore that, though NZ were already through! 

[Sir Steve Howard]

SF opponents Windies/India.

Goes without saying but all WI aren't we

[Lionator]

Tough decision now for the semi, do they persist with Buttler or stick Rehan up top? He can’t do any worse.

Imagine knocking India out of their home World Cup though 

[RonnieTodger]

That is a fantastic win. I can still see it being another India v South Africa final, though.

You'd need to put Banton or Salt as keeper too, who might be a bit rusty.

I'd be tempted to move Buttler down instead of Banton but the middle order does have a bit of consistency now.

 

I imagine it's rehan or Overton depending on the pitch.

The only good thing about watching India this WC is the silence when opposition hit a boundary/take a wicket. Inject it.

However we will inevitably lose to them and it would be unbearable so preferably Windies do the job for us, then I could actually enjoy the SF.

[Sir Steve Howard]

Pakistan need to wallop Sri Lanka to get through ahead of NZ. 65 run win or chasing down within 13ish overs is my rough estimate

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Dumb decision to keep playing Buttler, bet England will play in the semi
