Guest Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 Not to be.. but another example of a highly competitive performance put in from an associate. The ICC ought to be ashamed of themselves cutting them all off from the next event.
Guest MattP Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 I have a feeling they are going to have to rethink the ten team world cup next time. Was impressed by the UAE. Seemed very competent with the bat.
Guest Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 I have a feeling they are going to have to rethink the ten team world cup next time. Was impressed by the UAE. Seemed very competent with the bat. Definitely needs a re-think. I reckon the ICC would be happy with India, England and Australia just playing each other on an endless loop and let the less financially well off nations fend for themselves in a B League.
IOWFOX Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 Don't work Fridays, so going to get a couple hours kips then up to watch the match. Feels like an ashes winter has coming early. Let's hope they can actually turn up this time!
Guest MattP Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 I'm going through the night as well We need a big performance from the opening bowlers today, if we don't nip 2 or 3 out they could go to town on the slower middle over guys.
purpleronnie Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 I'm already nervous about this one, I expected to lose against the Aussies, but expecting better things tonight/tomorrow.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 19 February 2015 Posted 19 February 2015 If we bowl first we desperately need early wickets else it could be 300+ again with our inability to bowl at the death.
Swarles Barkley Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Anyone else feeling the irony in playing Ballance who fvcks up our balance. Will probably go on to hit a 100 now... Still feel we are missing another finisher
IOWFOX Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Just as it was starting to look like a promising start. Good early runs though! These 2 stabilise for 100/15 over and keep going at this rate, we should have a great chance.
Guest MattP Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 This opening partnership just isn't going to work. Ali has all sorts of problems against the full and short ball. Need a partnership here.
chrishlcfc Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 It is absolutely depressing to watch England, you can tell whats going to happen everytime they play.
IOWFOX Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Well there is one plus for any of the barmy army there today, they are in wellington. Lovely city, i am sure it wouldnt take too long to get over the defeat.
Swarles Barkley Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Well played Ballance. That was... Awful Why the hell would be play bopara for all this time, through the warm ups, get Taylor settled at three just to change it for Ballance on the first game of a world cup. Just when you think England one day cricket may be progressing they manage to fvck it up again
Guest MattP Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Well played Ballance. That was... Awful have to laugh, schoolboy stuff getting out like that. Morgan really struggling as well, needs to somehow get through a few overs.
IOWFOX Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 What is Morgan doing!!! 1 run in 4 innings and he throws in a reverse sweep at 60-3 when we are in the shit.
Swarles Barkley Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 4 runs an over and three wickets down on probably the best pitch were going to get all tournament.
IOWFOX Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 The score was low but with 7 wickets left we still had a chance, typical middle order throwing it away. Decision to make, finish this bottle of wine or go to bed? As I am typing this another wicket goes..... Bastards! Might be time to get the 90% absinthe out.
Guest MattP Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 New Zealand are the real deal yes, but this is pathetic.
Guest Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Really thought England were a big price tonight. A zero was missing it seems Morgan throwing his wicket away started this.. opened the door and Southee burst thru it. Broad was terrified when he was batting. Embarrassed for him.
Guest MattP Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 A new low. A joke. Morgan takes massive responsibility for tossing his wicket away.
IOWFOX Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 The look on root's face after that finn wicket said it all. For pretty much all my life new Zealand had been ok but generally not very good. Yes they are a very decent side now but 123 all out is awful and 7 for southee is outrageous. I remember when he used to get smacked all over the place. Is this the lowest point of a very poor 8 months? Knocked off in 25 overs by New Zealand?
IOWFOX Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 I have found the cure for this awful England performance!
Matt Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Ondhundredandtwenty****ingthree???! Are we serious?!
