The lower order looks great on paper but they’ve failed again when needed.

Yea I don’t think it’s terminal. Just a reality check for the “experts!”

 

[P.D.]

The schedule is stupid, some teams have played 4 games whilst others have played 6.

 

[Grays_1890]

I think its a favourable schedule, you just have to be one of the top 4 sides in the round robin which I think we will be then hit your straps for the SF and Final...

Big game today, If England lose this surely they won't make the top four?

They still have 3 games, so its not 100% over if we do
The booing of the cheats will be very loud today and rightly so

 

[Grays_1890]

Fighting back here, great to see

 

[markysimmo]

Watching the cricket on the veranda, been high 30s today fooking roasting

 

[markysimmo]

Shouldn’t have a game like this at Lords there is literally zero atmosphere or crowd noise it’s a joke really, all about the £££££££

 

[markysimmo]

That could be game over now

To be fair the Aussies have bowled and fielded well so far

Been helped from some poor shots. Butler , Bairstow and Morgan all gave it away

 

[markysimmo]

Down to Moen and Woakes now

Great knock from Stokes though but fantastic bowling from Starc he is such a quality bowler

 

[djp82]

Struggle to get to semi finals now. Vince and Alli are walking wickets. Our players do not play the conditions. Today was a day that the big shots get put away and bat almost test like in tricky conditions.

Bairstows shot looks worse and worse on more viewings.

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Still waiting for the much lorded lower order to get some runs.

I don’t think this team has it mentally unfortunately, ability wise it’s there, but decision making is appalling under pressure.

Started to believe in the hype built around them?

Personally did not understand it really. I know we are at home but for me India and Aussies had to be ahead of us. Think we are on par with NZ.
