ODI World Cup

[PeteFTM]

Hate to say it but I’ve been very impressed with the Aussies this World Cup

They were utter shite against India. They always come back strong eventually though, too much quality and they are very strong mentally.

I think everyone has been shit against India tbf Aussies top order can do some real damage

Feels like if you get at them early their middle lower order still has a few issues. That said their top order and the rat Warner in particular have been unreal so far. Going to be a massacre against him and Head when we play them.

Big total this. Nearly 8s is hard going, especially against a good attack (albeit one with a bunch of part timers as the 5th/6th)

If we select anything close to a similar squad to the current I’m not watching that. Need to rebuild properly now, these lads have embarrassed themselves and the nation

I think I would go for mainly young players supplemented by a few of the 'old heads'. That way, we'll have a ready alibi if things go horribly wrong and, moreover, make a start on the rebuilding process.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Good start this.

Root and Wood stay for me, Buttler obviously as I think he is just out of form and burdened by captaincy.

Stokes can f*** off since he can’t decide whether he can be arsed or not.

It should be seen as the biggest privilege to play for England, we need more players on board who view it that way. The problem is there is a rim licking club that needs to be disbanded, including the non-playing staff.

What a catch - brilliant

 

[King Kareoke]

Cracking catch

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Big wicket, right back in it.

 

[Bears Beets]

NZ in big trouble

 

[turnthetide3]

Hmm - this isn't going to take long

 

[PeteFTM]

Game over I reckon, NZ middle order isn’t strong enough

 

[Mr Redknapp]

The openers had to go a lot longer at least 100 I reckon.

Mitchell is a brilliant cricketer mind. He was class in England during the Test series last summer.

He is but his face/head irritates me

Plays for his average a lot as well

 

[turnthetide3]

This has become tedious now

His dad John is in charge of England women rugby team.

Irrelevant fact for the day.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Mitchell providing a Peep Show here.

 

[mackembhoy]

Really enjoy watching Mitchell bat.

He's so good at going through the gears easily but knows when not to be a f***ing idiot.

Wish our lot would bat the same.
