2015 Cricket World Cup Australia/ New Zealand

[Carrotdude]

Chasing 276 to win, current required rate is over 6, Bell playing well but not enough urgency for me, root is in now so hopefully he can up the rate.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Bell needs to stay there for most of the innings. There are other players who can raise the tempo.

 

[jd1981]

Morgan fucking idiotic stupid shot, another duck what a disgrace.
It didn't seem possible but we're worse than when Cook was in charge.

 

[Carrotdude]

This is awful. Bowling length outside off with a ring field and we're just hitting it straight to them every ball.

 

[So Long Architect]

I know I'm an unpatriotic sod, but I wouldn't mind at all if we lost this. It would spare us the pain of seeing us play again and might precipitate a proper shake-up at the ECB. Perhaps they could turn the whole organisation over to some flying pigs.

 

[jd1981]

I think Colin Graves will be spitting blood at this, There's so much wrong it's untrue from selection to tactics.
England try and win games through stats on a laptop.
Taylor now out and this is turning into a shambles and probably one of the darkest days in English cricket history.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

England got themselves bogged down, and have now lost crucial wickets. 7 an over needed with 5 wickets left. How on earth have we got in this mess?

 

[visage]

The absurdity is that we're still even in the competition, given our earlier performances. If we were a racehorse we'd have been taken out and shot before now.

 

[jd1981]

The removal of Cook as captain was suppose to make us more positive and a better balanced side. We look far worse than we did 3 months ago.
The players look devoid of any confidence or guidance which should be coming from the coaching staff.
Bangladesh pace attack has demonstrated how to bowl properly in this situation.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

If Root and Buttler can stay together then all is not lost.

[jd1981]

Root gone all over now.

 

[Carrotdude]

95 off 10 overs then. I think it would be funnier if we lose by not getting the runs than by being all out.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

56 needed off 6 overs. Bangladesh bowling looking a little untidy when put under pressure.

 

[Kenny]

Buttler flying at the moment. Our chances rest with him.

 

[So Long Architect]

I'll do my best to curse us by saying I think Buttler will see us home.

 

[Kenny]

I'll do my best to curse us by saying I think Buttler will see us home.

Curse worked then.

 

[Johnny75]

Buttler gone.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Buttler out. c Kenny b SLA...!

 

[Kenny]

Jordan run out on his first ball.

England not happy with the call. Bat was in the crease but given out out as the bat may have come off the pitch at the point of impact

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Jordan out. He was home but did not have his bat grounded. Silly mistake from him.
