Oddschecker still advertising 7/2 for England through Unibet but go on their site and it's only 21/10.

Wins today for Afghanistan ;) and West Indies keeps it interesting.

Joe Root who has 13 test hundreds and 39 fifties and himself acknowledges this issue oh yes well done scored 100 against afghanistan. They’re hardly even a proper team. I’m not blaming him for the result but the difference is 2 days ago Williamson scored 106* and won them the game where’s root played a stupid shot on 50 and got out and we lost a very similar game

One of the top 5 performers so far in this World Cup. 3 of the 5 are Australians worryingly.....Warner, Finch, Starc.

Think it’s a bit skewed atm by games played. India have only played 4 to 6 by us and the Aussies, and were sharing our hundreds around a lot more than the Aussies do.

The tickle down leg side is one of those things that happens in cricket and not a cardinal sin.
 
Didn't see the game yesterday, or really follow the score much even because of work.

Can't f***ing believe what I've seen in terms of highlights or scorecard.

Very concerning how we are wilting under the pressure of a chase in this World Cup. Don't really know where it's come from - hasn't been in our game at all before the tournament.

Think Morgan needs to think on this and wonder if we should lean towards batting first. Our bowling unit is performing better under pressure than our batting unit, so go with it.

Anyway. All else I will say is I think it's a good thing we have Australia next. Win that and it'll wipe the slate clean in terms of momentum and all that. It's the right game for us to block everything else out and focus on the next game only. A one-off, derby-like mentality.

Aye, and the others should step up. f***ing brainless cricket from everyone other than Stokes.

Need a few afghan wickets to make this interesting.

No idea why the ICC insist on taking over tournaments with these slow turgid pitches. Oh wait maybe it benefits a certain large nation...

Would hardly call that a stupid shot tbf from Root, more unlucky than anything else really.
 
If India concentrate like they should and don’t take anything for granted, I can’t see any less than 350-360 today...even if the ball is sticking a little in the pitch. I can’t see Kohli throwing his wicket away with a reckless shot and India look to be strong down the order.
I suppose the question is whether India want to push it or just go steady. With the bets I have on I have my fingers crossed that they will want to put up a big score.

one 100 in 26 ODIs in England :cool:

Aye I have to put it on mute when he is batting, even on the Sky podcast Rob Key was saying as anyone ever dominated a sport like Kohli has, what the fuck?

To be fair Ian Ward totally ripped his point to shreads

He is a world class cricketer like but there are others

Was the same with AVDB other year, people were saying he was the best batsman of all time!

Not watching this, whats going on, slow pitch?
