NZ and SA have looked really good so far..
Tomorrows game will tell us if its close between them and India or India are too far ahead.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023
- Thread starter zing
- Start date
Don't worry about NRR mate, we are going home
It's just one game. No it wont.
Embarrassing and I hope Buttler is really probed in the PMI about the decision to put them in.
Our bowling attack is very weak but I think without scoreboard pressure we’d have hit a big score too and given them a chance to defend it.
This is absolutely woeful.
Edit: Sky just put up a stat showing we’re the second worst team in ODI’s when chasing in the last year (based on % of successful run chases).

SA look like a team that can leave india 20/4 in a crunch game. Their fast bowling quartet looks high class.
We haven't beaten nz in wc's since 2003, India are not ahead of nz.
England looking hopeless here.
Finger on the pulse today Corinthian
Cricinfo odds reckon we're heading for a close game.

I assume you know that's the pre match odds?
Matthew Mott has absolutely destroyed this England team.
England need to get to 124 for this not to be the worst defeat ever at a World Cup for a team batting second.
Wow. Really feels like the end of an era. Some fantastic ODI players in this England team but their time is up in this format.
Bairstow, Root and Stokes need to just focus on Test cricket. Malan has been fantastic for a couple years building up to this tournament but hasn't taken the opportunity, which given his age will be his last. Buttler is still an incredible white ball batsmen but it seems the burden of captaincy doesn't suit him. Mooen, Rashid, Wood, Willey, Woakes will all surely be phased out due to age. Brook, Curran and Livingstone have promise but have shown more in other formats so far, unsure why ODIs haven't suited them so well. They'll be part of the squad going forwards but it needs plenty of fresh faces and a change in atmosphere.
Jacks, Crawley, Duckett, Ahmed, Potts and a few others seem need to replace the old guard. Even if they do well its hard to see them replicating the success this white ball side has had over the past few years. Bairstow, Roy, Root, Stokes, Rashid, Moeen, Woakes were giants in this format. What a tragic ending.

Not a great start for the English national team(s) today, is it?
Looks like we are about to break that record.
Don't jinx it! We need the real bad luck to be later!
Couldn't give a toss about the rugby.
And India and Australia still to come. As bad as a world title defense can go. Borderline disastrous. Only thing missing now is a bust-up in camp.
Got a sinking feeling we'll be on the wrong end of all the teams we support today. England (twice), Everton, Brighton, Palace, Chelsea, United.
Shite, absolutely woeful. And if we're honest - we don't win that T20 WC without Hales' magic - we were dross that tournament too.
No luck needed
. I jest bud. Really thought the cricket would be much closer.Don’t follow rugby?
Hahaha touchè. Thought the cricket was the one you’ll pick your form up in. Hopefully not in the rugby for your lotWe’ll let you boys have this one
Cheers bud. Enjoy the day of sport. So far only Pools result has irritated my Saturday!
Whats England's obsession with chasing?
Some of the team setups and selections have been odd and confidence is shot.
WTF was that phelwekeyu, he didn't even pretend like he wanted to catch that.
Get someone on a pedalo and we will be complete.
We were good at it last time they all played ODI Cricket. Unfortunately that was 4 years ago for half of them
Comeback is on.
Wood having a bit of fun.
Poor tournament for him with the ball though.

Van der Dussen’s gun fielding got them that last wicket
Atkinson has probably emerged from this disaster with a bit of credit.
Just turned cricket on. Those last two overs were pretty crazy. Why did the England innings end with their 9th wicket?
Topley too injured to bat.
Happy hour at the hotel bar only has an hour to run
all good bud. Catch up later/tomorrow!Hurray, 20 more runs that I thought we'd get. A moral victory.
That was embarrassing as has been the whole tournament. There will need to be a revamp of some of the players after the tournament.
Also brain dead idea to field during the hottest time when winning the toss.
