ODI World Cup

[danthemanSAFC]

200 all out

 

[Boo]

Buttler did well for the run out. It wasn't a great throw from Willey.

 

[scotch]

Run out, by a mile. What a gift!

Decided to retire out as he found our bowlers too easy to score against.

Let's get them out for under 250 now lads

Maybe some were getting a little too carried away by our initial start as long game

Let's be fair, Woakes and Curran + our fielding was as bad as it could have been.
That bloke batted extremely well and why we won the toss and chose to bowl on this wicket was a strange decision.

 

[Classic94]

Rashid’s a class act.

Yeah that fair mate, but it was just that a bad start.

We clearly better than that and no need to make it more than that

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

His captaincy is questionable, seems to get key decisions wrong and I say this as someone who loves Buttler and wanted him as captain.

Hopefully we get the win here and it acts as a wake up call.

I just think it was complacency. We haven't chased yet and thought why not? Totally underestimating Afghanistan.

Luckily we have dragged this back.

 

[Boo]

There's a nice sight. The run rate under six.

 

[brandon]

How is the umpire not giving that man?!

Bullshit that it’s too high

Absolute nonsense

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Bullshit that it’s too high

The standard of umpiring this tournament from what i've seen leaves a lot to be desired.

edit: stand corrected

 

[turnthetide3]

Shame - that ball deserved a wicket

It didn't look high, live. But that was a great decision (sadly).

 

[Aidan11]

Woakes back. Let's hope for a better spell.

Nope. The pies are still on offer.

 

[scotch]

Woakes has problems

 

[PeteFTM]

Luckily we have dragged this back.

I just hope the luck element isn’t lost on them during the de-brief. We’d played our way into a potential hammering with poor game management.

We need to be much better in the South Africa game or we’ll be harshly humbled.

 

[mackembhoy]

Surely it works both ways though mate, surely their opening batsman batting great on a brilliant wicket doesn’t make him shit either.

Buttler been on record saying doesn’t get excited when we playing brilliantly or too down when we shit.

Calm head, which important for a captain imo

Him making a terrible call at the toss is?

We saw 428 plays 326 here 8 days ago.

Afghanistan chose to bat the other day but Indian bowling is a lot better than ours. They still put on 272.

We've got to catch up with the others on NRR. Best way of doing on a flat pitch is putting on 350+ and then hoping the opposition struggle with scoreboard pressure.

Anyway I liked that as I posted that he did a good stumping. The jinx is real

 

[Boo]

Another six off Woakes. He needs to find mental strength here, somehow.

 

[PeteFTM]

I reckon I could get a 50 off Woakes today and my batting looks like a toddler playing with a golf club

Yeah I do agree mate wrong choice at toss

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Really poor captaincy bringing Woakes back on so soon. Should have waited til were were past their top six.

 

[Yankee]

Nice.
