ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

It’s strange that the World Cup has borne so little resemblance to the 4 years of cricket that has preceded it.

One of these two need ms to stick around until near the end. If the RR gets above 7 I’ll be worried, this isn’t a pitch you can go at 10s on. Especially if you’re down to 9, 10, 11.
 
Can't believe people here think England are in any danger of losing this.
Really?! They look shite and unconvincing, and are scoring like snails.
 
England just ahead for me. These 2 just need to keep rotating the strike & then hitting the big shot when it’s there to be hit.
 
Yeah.. England look comfortable here.. NZ were in it for a bit.. This partnership has taken it away from them again.
 
It’s still only 1 wicket away from a big swing, so import these two just keep doing what they’re doing.
 
This is brilliant batting from these two. No need to play risky shots but keep rotating the strike. Beautiful partnership

Yep this is exactly what’s needed, just keep the scoreboard ticking and keep the slogging for the final overs if it comes to it.

Fully expecting one of them to do something stupid having said that :lol:
 
Can Archer actually hit it? Atherton keeps mentioning him when talking about England's strength in depth but he's been pretty poor this WC.
 
Not many boundaries in this one. It’s disappointing for a World Cup final.
It's not a high scoring pitch tbf, more a test of attrition and patience than a boom boom bangabang. Some top quality batsmen on both sides have/are struggling. Have to compliment bowlers on both sides. I think it's a fascinating game but I can see your point and it's probably 1 for the purist.
