    I concur but also think we’d have lost if we’d made them bowl first.
    We’ve so many players that aren’t performing so you’ve got to put it down to lack of motivation from captaincy level and above.
    Individually we’ve got a reet side

    I don’t disagree but we saw South Africa collapse under pressure vs the Dutch so if we could have got 300+ it would’ve been interesting to see how they’d cope with it.

    Anyway what’s done is done, let’s look forward to our 5 wins in a row.

    I didn't expect much from us to be honest in this WC, and I was looking forward to watching it as a neutral right from the start.
    But I thought we'd at least be more competitive than we have been, that's been a big disappointment.

    NZ 19 for 2 after 8 overs. Looking easy for India so far!

    India win, Kohli just misses out on another century and fireworks and Deafening noise to celebrate. And we're still in the group stage!

    Hey now this gets interesting, as the two best teams so far have met, and good credit to India.
    I said it last week in the Rugby as well, it's great to see the best teams meet each other and go at it head to head.
    Could these two meet again in the Semi or the Final, depending on how the knockout rounds work ?.

    My boy Gurbaz has been doing Gurbaz things again, putting Afghanistan on course for another win.

    They're doing well, really confident batting and bowling. Keeping themselves in the mix!

    Well played Afghanistan. That means though that England are bottom of the World Cup table

    Huge credit must be given to Trott even if they don’t qualify.
    It’s good to see he’s over his anxiety problems so you’d assume that his ultimate goal was to coach England in some capacity

    They’ve only had Test cricket status for about 5 years and not played ODI’s / T20’s for much longer
