India v England World Cup cricket

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Here we go another calamitous show guaranteed.

Well we won the toss if nothing else but have elected to bowl which itself is rather baffling.

Yep. Out in the field in the blazing daytime heat.

 

[Old_Laytonian]

You're gluttons for punishment

 

[Macseasider]

Gill gone. Great start. 26/1

 

[Wizaard]

Kohli gone for a duck.

29/2

 

[Dave62]

First time in the tournament that India have batted first.
Perhaps explains the decision to bowl on what the commentators are saying is a slow wicket.

Great start, first duck for Kohli. Fielding much better too. Almost a run out, scoring at 3.44 per over off first 9
Keep it up lads.

Edit, 40 for 3 off 11.5

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

It’s a typical England performance (so far) on the day we beat anyone but on another day they can lose to anyone as we’ve already seen (Afghanistan)
Already looking like Rohit could be the key wicket for England winning this game.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Hundred up for India 103/3 at the halfway stage.

 

[Macseasider]

And the inevitable collapse has begun.

No idea why Root get's in a one day team.

 

[Ping Pong]

Why is Root playing yet again.useless!
Is Critchley picking the team?

 

[straightatthewall]

Shit review that. Looked plumb.

 

[BFCGULF]

How many ODi matches left for Root in England colours?

Think its time for change.

 

[Wizzerboy]

Loved it when Atherton at the break was bigging Root up saying he was our best hope against the spinners.
Guess we'll never know.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

And another.

Stokes throws his wicket away for a duck.

Pathetic why’s he even gone to India?

 

[Macseasider]

Root 0
Stokes 0

Take a bow. I mean the bowling is exceptional but no effort to just play a straight bat for a few overs.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Agreed, the guy isn’t in form and doesn’t appear to even be able to think straight.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Root 0
Stokes 0

Exactly Mac the last few games our batsmen have been on a suicidal mission to get out.

 

[fcblackpool]

Root 0
Stokes 0

Because they can't. All Bish Bash Bosh with them.

 

[BFCGULF]

And so nearly four....

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Utter shambles this Bairstow walking now.

Was 30/0 now 39/4.

Over to you Moeen.

 

[fcblackpool]

Sky sold the TV rights on to The Comedy Chanel.

 

[AlternativeSeaside]

Well hopefully this will give the ECB a kick up the arse and move some of these players on despite what contracts they’ve signed

 

[Wizzerboy]

I blame the umpires

 

[timbertops]

Good job international teams don't have a moniker a la Lancashire Lightning ...

England Collapse

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Same old...

 

[Old_Laytonian]

England Embarrassment

 

[Macseasider]

I blame the umpires

I blame Critchley.

 

[Raging_Bull]

The cricket team should do everyone a favour and board the next flight home to Blighty and stop embarrassing us all.

Talk about hero's to zero's, it's like we've sent the local village pub team out there.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Looks like we’re going to be bowled out yet again 98/7 we might just notch a ton yet just 28 overs gone as well.

After 10 pints each before the game!

 

[Macseasider]

And another.

Stokes throws his wicket away for a duck.

Root and Stokes are just on a jolly boys holiday with their pal Buttler.

 

[Dave62]

98-8
Livingstone gone for 27, close on review. The ball was only hitting half way up middle stump!!

Surely a total reset required after this old boys outing, with Salt or Duckett as captain)?

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Well we’ve got to 100

 

[hertfordseasider]

Well we’ve got to 100

WHOOOOOOOOOOP! What a team!!

It's the end of a load of the squad and certainly the end of Butler as captain and the team coach/manager, needs a complete rebuild using the new players coming through.

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

So then defeat by 100 runs.

FFS they should get on the next plane home and go straight to the Tower of London.

 

[Chunkylad]

Can we get back to test cricket again now?
