In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
In hindsight we shouldn't have taken the powerplay and just played our conservative cricket. We suck at Powerplays, typical English crap power hitting. Morgan alone is not enough.. abit of Pietersen and Kieswetter would've been helpful.
He played for WI. It was said in jest you bozo.
More likely to get boundaries in the powerplay.
Trott is having shocker now... he need to go over the top
His running between the wickets has also been awful all innings
75 runs and 1 boundary, says it all.
Always rubbish in the power play. He's just incapable of power hitting.
Says nothing unless you've been watching the match.
That's what I thought initially but our young Sultan is somewhat younger than Engineer...
He should have accelerated after the 35th over. There was plenty of wickets in hand.
England have batted poorly in the last four five overs.
Yeh, and I wish Don Bradman was next in and he was English & still alive...
What we actually need here is Dennis Compton...you bozo...at least he's English...
Just got home and England seemed in a great position, but they've got into turtle mode.
I booked them even before the quarter final draw. It was a total jackpot that it turned out to be India v Pak.
Holy crap man
that's over $22,000
hats off
Ya man. Great piece of business.
They might not even make 220.
Trott gone
Too content to just stay at the crease I felt.

Dennis Compton couldn't play shots. And I think it'll be competitive total.
England may have lost the match in this last period for me.
Trott reminds me when Dravid first started playing in ODIs. Incapable of changing gears.

220 will be a decent score. But 240 would have put England as favorites.
I was struck by the parallel but I now see a young Sultan playing against him in the Lancashire league.
What the feck is this obsession English batsmen have with reverse sweep?
Get 8 this over and it's on a knife edge.

Great piece of business? You've done nothing, lucky in a draw and then exploited people's love for the game..cnut just about sums it up.
Northern League
Mark Boucher, Ravi Shashtri, Chetan Sharma, Sanjay Manjrekar, Steve Austin and a host of other Indian and Pakistani players. I've even been on the same field as Miandad and Azharuddin in charity games.
Nice shot
I think people are may have been under estimating as to how much is needed on this pitch. Pak got 277 here...
Right, couple of early wickets needed now.
I'm calling bullshit. You don't 'book' them. The website crashed and they made it into a lottery like the CL final tickets, with 2 tickets per credit card.
I fancy an England victory. That said, Sri lanka almost chased down 277 a couple of weeks back.
Was it the same pitch though?
I think 240 would be about a par score here it seems. So they aren't far off that. And Pakistan beat SL convincingly didn't they? So it seems 277 was well over par.
Willis agrees with my assessment about Trott.
Not proud.
Not proud.
Agreed and as you said, pathetic running between the wicket. 260 was very gettable imo but England will have to bowl out their skins. Tredwell's role will be crucial in providing Swann with support.
A couple of early wickets are vital.
Betfair have still got Sri Lanka odds on I think it's a even money game.
It's the sole creative shot they have at their disposal.. without it, I doubt we would have even got to 200+.
Crap. I thought Pakistan won that easily. Ignorant me.
I'd have Sri Lanka slight favourites, but who knows what impact the crowd will have.
Nerves will play a bigger part for Lanka than skill.
So true. That's why I wasn't as confident of you the other day when India played Australia. One mustn't underestimate the pressure sub continent teams have on them playing at home and especially when chasing in a WC knock out match.
