ICC Cricket World Cup 2023

- Start date
Have you just tuned in to this world cup ?
based on the last 5/6 games you're lying if you're confident in us chasing this down,
Wasteman WC23 Edition: Bavuma, Labuschagne, Smith, Imam, Saud, Rahul, Iyer, Zadran, Kane, Latham, Perera, Tanzid, Singh
Still room for a few more. England's batters have a chance to be added next.
Oh my bad, because somewhere i read this information is false.
At any other point in the last 8 years I'd have been extremely confident of us easily chasing down 230 here, but after the last few weeks who knows.
Could easily see us being all out for 120.

We are 20 short here and are going to miss Ashwin a lot.

I think England will get well more than 150
It's a par score
On one hand India should be happy they didn't get all out and have something to bowl at.
But then had rohit and sky played more sensibly, India could have scored 270. England bowled really well and showed why they are a top side.
Should be a good chase.

With dew in play, England will find the conditions more suitable to batting.
Time to bring shami, enough of Siraj being rubbish as usual.
Very surprised ashwin was not picked today considering he would have also brought in some batting strength
England looking to somehow lose this
Not needed by the looks of it
Can't go into a game with just 2 pacers unless the game is in bangladesh
Over 100 is a moral victory for us here IMO
That's a fair point. Also with dew I don't think playing extra spinner would have been a smart choice
We need a hardik backup or new batsmen post kohli and Rohit need to learn to bowl.
Amazing spell from Bumrah so far. Surely you give him 6 or 7 here, right?
Stokes with the worst comeback from retirement ever.
What has happened to England?
Jason Roy looking at this thinking he should be there.
Yeah. He's had a crap few months but you'd rather bowl at Malan than him, wouldn't you.
This team is getting completely gutted after the WC though, so most of them are going to go.
Our qualification hopes are fading away here
Combination of lots of things: ageing team, lack of preparation, poor choice of captain and coach and basically a perfect storm of feck-ups.
Didn't merit a place in the squad tbh. And would have made zero difference regardless. Malan played our best knock of the tournament.
What a nose dive this has been - I mean this is just shocking
fecking hell England.
I think I said we could be all out for 150, 150 would be a wonderful achievement if we can get there.

Get the form man in next (Mark Wood).
Kohli would have everyone believe he is a team player yet the man's ego can't even make him quit slip fielding even though he is one of the worst in the world at it.
Not looking a great move for anyone is it. The side has been disrupted (not that it needed much disrupting!) and Stokes has missed out on valuable rest time.
checked the ages.. Livingstone is the only player under 32.. no one under 30.. Yeah.. probably a little too old for ODIs.. unless you are super fit..
Game over surely. Livingstone isn't digging us out here (hope he does though!)
This reminds me when ganguly was brought back just before 2007 50 over wc and rest is history.
Still of that opinion ?
Again, have you not watched us this world cup ?
Indeed.
After the WC we'll probably look something like this:
Salt
Jacks-Livingstone
Crawley
Duckett
Brook
Buttler
Curran
Carse
Rashid-Rehan
Tongue
Atkinson
So basically the entire team is going to be replaced. Shame we didn't have enough games to do it earlier really.
This is absolutely fecking atrocious.
9/4 in the last 27 balls.
I was telling @JohnnyKills Mott probably has enough credit in the bank from last year to survive this but i really don't know now.

What happens today and the rest of the tournament isn't really a new low. This is kind of fair enough now, they're toast.
It was the first five games they should all be hammered for.
Well I think it probably depends on the margin of defeats for if it gets to a new low but yeah the damage was ultimately done before today.
I just think we've been a badly organised mess from top to bottom. He could have no complaints if he was sacked.
Don't think age and fitness is really a concern for them tbh.
The decision to drop Harry Brooks was a weird one for me.
