Cricket World Cup 2019

[North Yorks Mackem]

I just think its the pressure of being the hosts as well as the favourites ...we don't seem to have that mental application when it comes to cup competitions....3 down...we've gone to pieces....Aussies will win the lot

Probably why we'll never truly be the number one team in the world. We just dont have the mental toughness. Pressure of a being favourites in a home world cup got to them. Disappointing.

 

[Dexter]

Out in the group stage at this rate.

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

Lose to India on Sunday and the pressure is well and truly on.

Lose to India and we will probably be out if Pakistan win tomorrow.

 

[Keith S30S]

At least a yard over Finch, a foot my arse Atherton.

 

[BIG BAZ]

286 should have been easy.

I thought it was gonna be a tough chase...they've a very good bowling attack (probably the best in the comp) and they'll bowl like we should have ...

India’s spinners will be all over this shower.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Just f***ing swinging at anything now

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

f***ing hell Bairstow. Play properly. It’s not a monster target, you have time

 

[Voice of fair play]

Lose to India and we will probably be out if Pakistan win tomorrow.

What if we won today

Need JB and BS to get us to at least 120 without loss here to even give us a slight chance

 

[BIG BAZ]

8 balls....no runs....Stokes will swing for one outside off stump any minute now

 

[Mainze]

Need JB and BS to get us to at least 170 without loss here to even give us a slight chance

Tidied

We have the power so if we bat 50 we will chase this. Just need to calm down and focus on batting time, scoring rate will come to them

 

[Boo]

To the positive, Australia have the worst outfits in the competition. Those crummy necklines make them look like the cast of an Ed Wood sci-fi.

 

[North Yorks Mackem]

What if we won today

Well things would obviously be different. We ain't winning this though.

 

[Scotty 1978]

Ffs

 

[Rip Van Fish]

I just meant that they are a noisy lot for a hangover.

Ah, yeah, good point

 

[Pepe]

My £2 on Woakes being top run scorer is looking like it has a chance at this rate.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Stokes is getting itchy here mind....

 

[Boo]

Stokes is getting itchy here mind....

Resist, resist. In all fairness, he's been about our best (after Root) at playing a long innings.
