now South Africa’s knocked out but I still think they’ve got a good side going forward in the shorter formats and future world cups. Most of them are young and don’t have the scars from a lot of previous icc tournaments. And also the expectation for them to win one isn’t as high as back then

And yeah that will be it. Fine margins on these things like. About a combined four feet from being a pair of sixes and a win. Pretty pleased with England's batting, and the bowling wasn't too bad either, but I recon they lost it in the field (and obviously a great innings from VDD).
Best hat trick ever as I type lol

I think AB and Faf are still good enough to play in Australia next year

Whatever it takes!!!
RSA and SL are both sides who should not be too disheartened by the results here. They have to fine tune stuff a bit but both sides have got plenty of potential and should be much better contenders next year in Aus.

Australia getting humbled and behind the net run rate against England pretty much helped them in the end. They knew they had to catch up and go ahead back on the net run rate they came out trying to flog Bangladesh and did it in like 5 overs and came out hard against West Indies trying to keep improving it. South Africa were ahead of Australia in NRR halfway in but they just tried to get the win and not improve their NRR much especially in the Bangladesh game where they bowled them for around 80 they should of chased that in 7-8 overs rather than like 14 overs. It sucks for South Africa for sure

England might of lost here but I still think they’re easily the favourites. Mills is still a big loss though with his variety which I think it’s more suitable for these pitches. Guys just relying on quick pace seem to have struggled more in this tournament and gone for more runs guys like Wood, Starc, Rabada. Possible with Roy out could be a massive loss also but their batting line up is absolutely stacked and also two good spinners as well

I think we can all agree that the primary reason England lost this game was that they didn't bowl Livingstone.

Holy ****, someone actually managed to defend a total.

Such fine margins. SA could've won that game against AUS and come away with 5 wins. AUS are peaking now but you'd have to say SA were the more consistently competitive team throughout the group stages.

SA exceeded my expectations in this tournament. Still worried about some of the selections. However the team is starting to feel more like the old gritty SA teams I loved. Now to take it into the Test format.

I don't think that is with hindsight... we knew that going in. It is a big issue with the team not having that middle/lower down batter that clears the boundaries from ball one.
