24th Match - England v Afghanistan

[trundler]

125 at the 30 over mark. Tripling it you get 375. Not a long way off. They can do it!

This match is more exciting than the flagship 'rivalry' match of India vs Pakistan

They wont get close i would put my life on it, Australia have all the momentum they will win by 150 runs minnimum..

It wasn't arrogant to think you would have won. It is arrogant to not accept you were stupid to bet your life on it.

You shouldn't even be alive.

I found this unreasonably funny. Pratters WAG

Not sure why we've started bowling like the Windies here. Lacking a clinical touch.

Doesn't help that Rashid just can't find any rhythm. Would strongly consider keeping Moeen in the team for when we need just the one spinner.

Is Rashid actually fit? I read somewhere that he's carrying an injury. He really is a complete liability nowadays, and this goes back more than a couple of matches. Moeen is a safer bet with the ball and offers rather more with bat and in the field too.

Looks like Afghan can make 280-290 like this which will be pretty good result for them all things considered. England's bowling overall is terrible. And that's the reason they won't win the cup irrespective of their fiery batting line up. Archer is overrated. And not sure what's their plan with Rashid who is consistently in the team irrespective of being their worst bowler in this world cup.

I miss Pratters whatever happened to him?

Winning a game by 150 or so runs proves how terrible they are, sure.

 

[Burner]

So England scored 18 sixes last WC. Morgan scored 17 this match.

 

[Kirkut]

Eoin Morgan easily played one of the most comical ODI innings ever, but yet to beat Rohit Sharma's 264 or AB Devillier's 169 in the last World Cup.

 

[the big bambino]

Considerable falls in R. Khan Pty. Ltd.'s stock price today.

Probably due for a correction under the intensity of a WC but would buy them at a discounted price.

 

[Burgey]

Wouldn't buy them with someone else's money tbh

 

[BoyBrumby]

Not sure how I feel about the Afghans settling for a glorified net, tbh.

One the one hand there's a case it was the pragmatic call after they'd be skittled for the square root of not many in their previous outings, but it's never a good look when a team isn't even trying to win.

Must be the biggest losing margin ever for a team chasing who've batted out their full allotment?
