Err, I'm very heartbroken but proud of the lads' effort?

Fuck that...your lads caved in. No spirit once their heads went...

Call us monkeys (carefully!) all you like, but I draw the line at blaming the Philly Cheese Steak on all of us!

Another big (and quick) score from the not knobhead Ollie Robinson today - 146* from 164

Elsewhere 86 (138) for Jamie Smith batting at 4 and 52 (118) for Foakes.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Smith is a super talent but I have no idea how good his keeping is

 

[Tony Towner]

Adam Collins who I like for an Aussie thinks he'd be our 2nd best batsman behind Root straight away. From what I read he plays properly though, so doesn't need anyone to try and change his game with our give your wicket away cavalier school of Test cricket.

 

[Carrotdude]

Think we’ll see Smith in T20s/ODIs soon for England and maybe Tests later on. From what I’ve seen he’s got good technique and hits the ball a long way. I haven’t seen much of either of them from a keeping point of view though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I don’t think this is going to be enough from the Windies

 

[Tony Towner]

It counts for little, but still shouldn't be bending over for them like that

Gotta keep the money happy

Keith Barker has taken all six wickets that have fallen today for Hampshire against Warwickshire. Has to be one of them most stupid decisions the club has ever taken to let his contract almost run out before offering him a new one.

Meanwhile another duck for Kohli. Averaging 11 for the tournament, you hate to see it

Afghanistan will make the final given the inevitable SA semi choke

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Rohit 76*
Kohli 0
Pant 15
Extras 2

One of these things is not like the others

Vaughan vs Flintoff in an England Under 19's vs Young Lions 50 over game. Vaughan got 85 for the Young Lions, Flintoff is currently 44 not out for the Under 19s.

92 from 41 for Sharma... great knock. Hopefully that sets up India for 220+ ... really dangerous side who could easily win this World Cup.

I saw that earlier a Benkenstein is captaining and a Mustard keeping wicket so I assume they are also son's of.
