Cricket World Cup 2019

I guess his point was that the toss combined with the short boundary to allow England to post a big total. But, you're right, their response was dinosaur shaped; thin at either end with a fat bit in the middle.


Sounds good. Is it a total dead rubber or is there still something riding on it?

What’s the toss got to do with it?

The ground didn’t change dimensions 2nd innings

I wondered about it. I think it's just that it put them under 'scoreboard pressure'.

If you lot think Afghanistan threw the match, surely you think India did too?

Rain plus dicey Indian decisions may doom Pakistan.

 

[Jack Torrance]

It couldnt have anything to do with Pakistan battling with England to be in the semi-finals could it?........

Losing yesterday means they'll now have a much harder semi final so I imagine they wanted to chase it

W Indies have to be the laziest and most unprofessional team I have seen in the field.

Our ground looks class like this mind. Everyone enjoying themselves, not a spot of bother anywhere. Loads of folk speaking well of the ground and area. Brilliant man

But it means Pakistan less likely to progress though

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

The way I read it we're likely to finish 3rd or 5th.

3rd likely means India at Edgbaston on Thurs 11th. Get your holiday requests in...

Caught off a no ball...warra bastard

I'd have thought they'd prefer to have Pakistan in the semis, who they've already thrashed, than England who they haven't.

Have you clocked who has got your usual seat on the top tier in the gods?

Someone with a big flag nearly getting blown over the top

Apart from the fact they dont have very good relations with them i would have thought that too but India were noticeably rubbish in not chasing

Looks about 70% full up their. As long as they're looking after it. Folk from all nations in here today, really good atmosphere. Red hot as well.

Awful again today the Windies. So much for the revival.

Never thought I'd see her kicking about down Chester like!

They’ve been an absolute embarrassment.

 

[Silly Point]

Wonder if she's off to Headingley Thursday. More than happy to show her round like
