Morgan needs a score badly

Doesn't look too bad and very much agree with Taylor ahead of Morgan, it's a no brainer.

Unfortunately Finn has 10 wickets, padded by his lucky hat trick admittedly and we're crying out for wickets so I wouldn't drop him.

Adelaide Oval innit? Tredwell for Broad, Bopara for Ballance for me.

If it's the team that played Sri Lanka you will see the cloud of steam over Consett for miles.

But that's leaving us with 3 poor tail enders, which is 1 too many for me. Let Root bowl at least 5 overs, see how he does.
 


Just me who thinks these fielding regulations are a bit daft? Only being allowed four men on the boundary after the first powerplay is ridiculous, the bowlers are getting absolutely tortured.
 
This World Cup is already getting dull for me. Far too drawn out, when you only have one game in a day and like today it appears India will piss it, it just makes me lose interest and turn it off.

Couldn't agree more.

Been going on for 3 weeks already and we've achieved absolutely nothing. Some games are barely club standard, quite a few are being played in front of next to nobody, and most of the Test v Associate games have been a complete waste of time.

Should be two or three games on a day, maybe only have one if it's a massive game like NZ v Aussies.

I'm still trying to work out why they had a rest day on a Sunday when some teams hadn't played for days. Also why the fuck are England playing the middle of Monday night?

From our point of view both of our games are must win and also Bangladesh's last game is must lose.

Ireland's games are win and qualify too. Most of the others are dead rubbers until the knock outs.
 
The pitch in this game looks fantastic, loads of pace and bounce - it's how most pitches across the world should be, offer something for batsmen and bowlers.

Agree, I think the top 10 should go into 2 groups and the top 5 affiliate nations should have a round robin at the start of the tournament with the top 2 going into the group stages making 2 groups of 6.

There's too many one sided games and most days should be double headers.

Good idea that.

There's no real need to fanny on with the actual format. Just need to play 2 or 3 games a day.

It's purely to increase viewing figure for each game is why they are drawing it out, rather than making it more exciting and quicker.
