We need to win both games then, knockout cricket already. Could be a good thing.

NZ are held together by one player and they can still get to 11 points already. Remarkable really.

If Pakistan win today, which is looking likely, then I think the only chance England have is to win both their remaining games. Looking at the fixtures one of Pakistan or Bangledesh will definately get to 9 points and Pakistan will get to 11 if they beat Bangledesh.
So from going in as favourites we are now playing knockout cricket 4 games out and have to beat India,New Zealand then two of Australia/India/New Zealand in consecutive matches to lift the cup.

Tbf if we lose another game that'll be 4 defeats. We wont deserve to win any world cup with that record.

See that graphic?
In 1992 Pakistan had the identical record they have in this tournament, at this stage, including a rained off game
Spooky coincidence

On paper we're better than New Zealand who IMO are the 4th best team in the tournament.
I see India as a 50/50 game. I think it's time to risk Roy as Vince is plainly awful and it's no good keeping Roy back and not qualifying for the semis.

It could. We win the two games and we'll be full of confidence going into the semis. But I've never witnessed such an occurrence.

The problem is the ICC have made sure we are not playing with tennis balls on a road.
Winning 4 games in a row from now on against the best sides in the tournament for this team batting the way they are would be astonishing.

Yeah but apparently we're the best team in the world so that shouldn't matter.

I bought one (albeit without the CWC insignia as I was convinced wed fuck this up) and it's fit as fuck, easily my favourite ever England shirt.
Why tf is Charlie Sheen bowling for Pakistan?

Thought wed have learned by now to not assume anything’s over at the halfway stage. 220 is defendable, ask Sri Lanka

I think he shaved it off after the photo shoot. Maybe he agreed with you. Lockie has that look going, also - it must be a New Zealand thing.
