Ireland struggling

Babar might just see them through

Why's he reviewing that

[Super_horns]

Saw some of the Bangladesh v Nepal highlights.

 

Not sure if it was very good bowling or rubbish batting but both teams did their best to lose wickets as quickly as possible! 

[Tommy Fresh]

Just spotted Lockie Fergusons figures 

[Tommy Fresh]

Great effort even with the opponent

[Super_horns]

Hopefully the West Indies  have got  all their runs and form out the way.

Just woke up to see Salt sticking it onto the roof. Could be close this. Might have to stay awake.

Morgan Freeman narrating:

 

"It was not, in fact, close."

[Super_horns]

Extremely good win for England .

Very convincing.

Showing some great power .

 

[StanSP]

Good win and especially to get it done with 2 and a half overs to spare. Good for the net run rate too. 

[Voll Blau]

Really growing into this tournament.

Bairstow scoring 30 off the 16th over saw to that. Very convincing. Worth staying awake for a bit for.

[RowlattsFox]

Knew the game was 'today' but didn't realise it was an early morning one  

 

Good win it seems, interesting since I declared Bairstow should be gone he's contributed 48 off 26, and 31 off 18. 

 

 

[Corky]

Superb victory.

[Super_horns]

 Comfortable wins for the Aussies and India .

 

England back in action later .

Surely they should have gone straight to knockout fixtures after the initial group stage? I guess they're dragging the tournament out as much as they can to maximise income but the crowds at the venues in the West Indies have generally been very poor. Feels like people there have either fallen out of love with cricket or are being priced out.

Yeah it should go straight to knockout. I don't think this super 8s stage is needed. 

[Lionator]

I think Australia and India are probably a class above at this moment, with England and South Africa the next best. Would be very surprised if the Aussies don’t win it tbh. 

[StanSP]

Made a mess of that catch. 

 

Should have been much cleaner. Ball has touched the ground. Doesn't look like fingers are fully under? 

[Super_horns]

Being bashed around so far ..

 

 

[st albans fox]

This will knock back our average run rate 

[Super_horns]

Great catch by Buttler .

 

Much needed .
