32nd Match - England v Australia

[stephen]

If India don't make the KO stage then the 2023 WC won't even have finals.

That would be amusing.

 

[Burgey]

But that's not the most desirable outcome. The most desirable outcome is India and Australia not making the finals for neutrals. Because both have experience winning cups and are going to make life a lot harder for your Bangladesh/ Pakistan cup fantasies.

Sorry, what's ***** saying?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Sorry, what's ***** saying?

Said no one ever

 

[Prince EWS]

If India don't make the KO stage then the 2023 WC won't even have finals.

Or it'll go the other way with every team making the finals to ensure they're in them.

 

[stephen]

Sorry, what's ***** saying?

That neutrals should want England and Australia knocked out. I was simply correcting him. No neutral wants India to win.

 

[mr_mister]

Lol, how many neutrals follow cricket that don't have a team still alive in the cup? Literally just saffers

 

[aussie tragic]

Bit worried about Aus this game, we always seem to take games against minnows too easy

 

[trundler]

Just a few clouds and this English team will be 7/3 in no time.

 

[Zinzan]

Personalty I'll be rooting for Aus. Possibly for the first time in my life. Just because an England loss keeps that 4th semi spot still up for grabs and keeps things interesting.

This for me too.

 

[Borges]

I'm supporting individual players for this rather than teams: Root, Buttler, ATVG Moeen vs. Warner, Maxi, Cummins.
Real pity that Jhye Richardson isn't playing; he would have tilted the balance.

 

[harsh.ag]

Time for Cummins to turn up.

 

[aussie tragic]

So England haven't beaten Australia in a WC since the Ian Botham masterclass in 1992...

27 years of history continued tomorrow

 

[91Jmay]

Roy out injured makes it firmly advantage Aus. Changes the make up and mentality of our side

 

[andruid]

Phase 2 of the epic England summer choke job starts here

 

[PikeyB]

I am a little bit hacked off with England at the moment , their uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is no longer funny . This is the sort of game they are going to have to routinely win to lift the Cup .

The way I see it injuries , points , tables , nrr and other teams results don't mean a damn thing to England anymore . Their next 3 games are against likely semi-finalists . Gotta win at least 2 out of the three to show some mettle . Otherwise there's just no point turning up at the semis .

my brain is pretty certain mitchell starc is going to continue to expose the sham of the #intent crowd, but then the lesser australian bowlers will let england escape to a competitive score.

 

[Starfighter]

No Roy makes be a little less unconfident but the ****eness of our bowling beyond the first two and middle-lower order collapsibility still make it England's to lose IMO.

 

[Andy1993]

Hope Roy is back soon, Vince dosent give me any confidence at all

 

[Andy1993]

news confirmed that Roy is out of the game

Australia going all out for the win here to knock out England from tournament
