God knows what team we will pick, expect Vince and Moeen to play though and possibly Curran too.

 

[91Jmay]

Would expect Vince & Moeen as well. Not bad replacements really, interesting Morgan didn't explicitly rule out Hales earlier on.

 

[James90]

England will either sneak home embarrassingly, or pummel them by 300 runs or 10 wickets.

 

[trundler]

England win the toss and finally do the sane thing by batting

450 coming up

At the risk of being misinterpreted in all sorts of ways, why are there so few Caucasian children walking out with the teams? I've observed this across the WC now.

That'd be epic.

This is what diversity looks like

 

[Arachnodouche]

This is what diversity looks like

I see.

 

[Jezroy]

Gee there’s a lot of empty seats!

Would have definitely been a possibility if Hales and Roy were playing. Not so much now.

My wife noticed this as well.

Bairstow and Butter are no slouches. You only need 1 or 2 of them to have a good day

 

[trundler]

Painfully slow start from England.

 

[vcs]

Yeah this looks like an excellent start from the Afghans.

 

[MrPrez]

How awesome would it be if England randomly choked and lost here.

Would at least make the top 4 spot battle vaguely interesting. Won't happen though obviously.

 

[vcs]

It would be awesome but I wouldn't trust Afghanistan to chase anything > 150 without panicking. So yeah, not happening.

 

[mr_mister]

I see Vince got out in the 20s


Hmm

 

[trundler]

I don't enjoy watching Barstow at all. Root is just terrific though
