World Cup Cricket England v Australia

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Be nice to put one over on the Aussies before we depart for home after a disastrous World Cup and dent their top 4 qualifying position.

You would think we’ve at least got one good performance left in us in this tournament but we just look a defeated team so I’ve no confidence at all in this team.

Buttler won the toss and elected to field probably the only thing we’ll win today.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Well well a wicket in Woakes first over 14/1.

 

[Meliora]

They're 117 for 4. That's a winning score against England.

 

[Leither]

First game I've seen all tournament . . where are the fans?

The grounds they play in are gigantic, and the locals are only interested in the home team.

First game I've seen all tournament . . where are the fans?

Estimated 30K in attendance, just a shame that leaves a 100K empty seats.

 

[NewburyOne]

Big wicket but I still wouldn't fancy us to chase down anything north of 250. Hopefully Rashid can get another wicket or 2 in his last over with the tail now exposed.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Tail wagging for the Aussies it didn’t look like they would get to 250 at one stage but now 276/8 and still 2 overs to go Zampa has hit 23 off just 14 balls.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Great shot from Bairstow

 

[Dave62]

19 for 2
Both "world class" Yorkies out for 0 and 13

Can't see us getting off the bottom of the table today

Total reset required

 

[hertfordseasider]

You have to hope a large part of this squad "retire" from limited overs international cricket, they have been an embarrassment,

 

[Old_Laytonian]

I was just about to watch it . Don't think I'll bother now. The pub seems more enticing

[NewburyOne]

Yorkshire letting England down again! Joking aside, our batting this tournament has been a disgrace. Yes we want to be positive but we've been brain dead. Time for a change and that starts with the captain.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Did anyone seriously think it would be any different today?

As already said above a few need to retire from international cricket after this debacle and Butler needs replacing as captain.

I wonder what odds you could have got us finishing bottom at the start of this World Cup?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Butler just fcukin useless.

Could do with a ton-plus here from Moeen Ali.

 

[Ping Pong]

All useless.
No batters capable of a decent score!
Come home & blood some youngsters soon!

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Livingston another waste of space batsman.

How the hell have we got people like Harry Brook sat on the bench watching these duffers?

 

[norfolkpool]

I just hope Buttler and Livingstone don't get dumped back on Lancs for the 4 day game to the detriment of say Wells and Salt,.

 

[NewburyOne]

Embarrassing stuff, surely the worst defence of a World Cup in history.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Should have had Chris Woakes in at 3 or 4 just gone for a very decent knock of 32.

Rachid still there on 20 shame our top order batsmen as per usual preformed crap.

All over now all out 33 runs short another dismal day for the former world champions.

Not even sure we can beat Holland next game.

 

[Leither]

I just hope Buttler and Livingstone don't get dumped back on Lancs for the 4 day game to the detriment of say Wells and Salt,.

Not a chance . . . they will be chasing the

England just aren't very good in world cups

Apart from the one they actually won

#RECLAIMTHEFOURDAYGAME

Ditch both.

TMS when Buttler was playing in the test team at OT wondered why, after rain, they weren't playing. I emithered in to say that Buttler couldn't find the home dressing room.
