As I remember, it was a flattish wicket. Honestly think that with the quality of our batters we'd have got them.
Re England, If everyone bring their best game to the party. I'd fancy us to win the tournament. Oman aside. (Poor team) It allus seems someone has to dig us out of a hole. Bairstow gets criticism. But set the mark for a good score yesterday. Brooke a good partner. Rashid is mr reliable but got tonked when Weise came in,
I wouldn’t be surprised if England went out in the Super 8s. They’ve thrashed Oman and Namibia. It’s like England beating San Marino. Was very unimpressed with their performance against Australia.

Think that's the pre-tournament seeding. The second round was already determined, unless teams didn't qualify. We've already got the West Indies fixture scheduled in - even though we don't know where they will finish in the group.
Was desperate for England to go through but ended up feeling sorry for Scotland who gave both England and Australia a heck of a scare.
I forgot about this today, this morning, as I had my England football blinkers on all day lol. So ok we do make it through, rather luckily. There's no way that we/they are going any further in the tournament though, is there ?.
How we lucky when we only lost once and another was rained off? If all four games had been played in full we'd have got through much more comfortably.
Because kid, it was out of our hands when it finally came down to it, whether we were unlucky with the weather or not. And we had to rely on those other teams result!.
