The Cricket Thread

[Paddingtonwolf]

The batting is pretty good. The bowling really misses Hazlewood and Cummins in this format

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Zimbabwe deserve a lot of credit for that result, great bowling and great in the field too, some great catches taken

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Unchanged tomorrow. Banton fortunate to get another go after scores of 2 and 2 with Duckett in the squad.

Bloody Overton again. I sat through the entire 1990s and he's still one of the worst cricketers I've ever known get 20+ caps

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Decent start from Archer

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This isn't good

 

[Jabbawolf]

Brook is such a brainless talent.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Good that Banton has got a score.

 

[jd1981]

Problem a lot of association nations is they can push the big sides but just struggle at the business end of games

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

They needed twenty more really with the bat. A decent showing though by Scotland.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Watt getting battered everywhere was the difference.

We'll go through now but we won't win any games in the Super 8s if we don't improve significantly, not one of the three performances has been convincing.

Fair play to Pato Banton after two low scores, played very nicely.

 

[BillyDee]

He came back

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

The top order is a real concern.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Got to 200 but managed to look supremely unconvincing doing so.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Bowling has been pretty unconvincing too. Should just about get away with it, but England look the poorest of the super 8 sides.

 

[jd1981]

We just aren’t that good really, batsmen take it turns to have a good day and our bowlers have zero control

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Perhaps they will improve in the super 8s. It would take a bit of effort to be worse.

 

[jd1981]

Australia bang in trouble here

 

[Sniffer]

Shame

 

[jd1981]

Ireland will probably ruin the fun by beating Zimbabwe

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

See ya Aus.

Taken four wickets across the last two games.
