So was I, as Vince was one of the two England openers, who was dismissed by only the second ball of the England innings. Not exactly what you would consider a good opening stand to be.

England are going out of the world cup. Chucked away a fantastic opportunity. Typical.

Chasing a total of 286 to win, England are 200-7 from 41 overs with Woakes and Rashid at the crease.

England all out 221 in 44.4 overs. Now lost three of their seven World Cup matches played.
Good Australian strike bowling:-
Behrendorff.....10 - 0 - 44 - 5
Starc.............8.4 - 1 - 43 - 4

Ah the perils of building up an England team before the actual event...
As all of you will know far more about this than me, what chance of getting further in the tournament do England have now would you say?

We probably need to beat India and New Zealand to progress. They are both unbeaten.
Right ok. Thanks Darandio.
I’d assume that India would be the most difficult to beat out of the two?
Yeah, i'd have thought so. Although we seem to now find anyone difficult to beat.

Looking at the table we might need to win both and will need to win one of those games BUT the fixture list gives us a chance. A lots depends now on the on the results of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Playing like we have recently we wont win anything.
I thought England did well to limit the Aussies to 285-7 especially from 173-1 but, again, we fell apart. I thought we were beyond this kind of thing. It seems not.

It will be interesting to see how the current English summer weather turns out on the days of all the remaining matches to be played.

It'd be a tragedy to get any 'no results' out of the remaining matches, or Duckworth-Lewis's. Pakistan stood no chance against India after the last rain interruption, whereas they might have overhauled the Indian score if the match had gone its full course, unlikely though it was. I can't see our usual two spinner policy paying dividends, besides which Mooen seems to have forgotten how to bat.

You see I don't know what the best moment of the game was. Not sure if it was the 100 plus run opening stand, Starc's yorker, Behrendorff I could go on.
But these scenes warm the heart though:

I suppose the World Cup is a mildly interesting competition while I wait between Lancashire games....

A superb ball. Absolutely superb.

Referring you, Sir, to the parallel thread(s) on English language pedantry (to which you've contributed); with only two matches left, India would have to be the more difficult to beat, we'd need at least three for one of them to be the most difficult.

juts wait for the ashes when we can play on pitches that the ICC haven't fiddled about with to reduce any swing.
PS Is it just me of was that pitch yesterday was awfully green. Was it just a trick of TV close ups?

The ball was hooping around a bit and we managed ok. It was actually a good battle between bat and ball early.

That one day white ball inst great for movement. I tohught England did well to pull Australia back in after a decent start. Sadly the batting completely fell apart.

Our batting is made of glass. It has fallen apart a few times this World Cup.

The difference was Finch got a ton. He was supported by Warner ( booooooooooooooo ) other than Stokes England failed utterly. It took a hell of ball to get rid of Stokes mind!
PS the run out of Stoinis was very funny!

New Zealand 82-4 after 26 overs: only 24 overs to go. Williamson still there, but.... Mind you, if you wanted a team to mess it up from there, Pakistan would be odds-on. Still, I hope they win, NZ are due a loss.

Foregone conclusion Aus will win , best openers and bowlers . One day Maxwell will play the innings to end all innings , he is due a big score .
And aus will whitewash the Ashes . Sorry but I do not like Aus but must be realistic .

If England openers go cheaply Root is far too slow and cannot his sixes .

Coincidence or what?
Pakistan won the 1992 World Cup. Seven matches into it, they not only had the same number of wins, losses and no results as in this year's World Cup, but in exactly the same order e.g. it was the third match in each series which failed to produce a result. Pakistan next play Afghanistan. Place your bets!

Well if England beat New Zealand next week then Pakistan will be out of the world cup.
Really pleased with Englands performance against India today, winning by over 30 runs!

An interesting match - would India be more pleased to see England through to the semi-finals than they would Pakistan?
