Sport Cricket World Cup

Bloody hell we were doing OK the last time I checked. What an absolute disaster this has been, don't think anyone saw it coming either.

Wonder what the Test boys will make of Indian conditions when they go there...
I think the test pitches will be very different and prepared for Ashwin - while the ball has spun in the tournament, I haven't seen any massive turn in the games I've seen. The best attacks have been very balanced in terms of spin and pace.
 
Good job we went with a strong batting line up, so the bowlers have a decent total to defend!
At least they wont have to worry about dew..........

Has Harry Brook upset someone? He is the only batsman I have seen that looks remotely like he knows what he is doing out there.
 
Hahahahahahaha that is embarrassing. Do England have any games after this? If they do they should just forfeit them and come home as it would be less embarrassing.
 
It seems so obvious to me what cricket should do:

Get rid of the Hundred.

Get rid of 50 over cricket.

Have T20 cricket as the only short form of the game, with a World Cup as well as short tournaments within a country eg the IPL/something exciting in the UK.

Make Test cricket much more prestigious again. Have some players be test specialists, some be T20 specialists and the odd exceptional one play both formats.
 
They didn't prepare properly for this competition (we said so on here before it had even started). Whether that's because they didn't really care about the competition, they were arrogant enough to think they didn't need to prepare or they couldn't arrange any proper preparation because of the loopy scheduling of the cricket season, I don't know. It has been (in sporting terms) an unmitigated disaster though, and heads should roll.

Starting with those who came up will the hundred..... and bin the hundred at the same time too
 
Rohit summed up how to win that game post-match - adopt a Test match attitude for 10-15 overs or so - we should do the same, except our Test match attitude is to smash it around. We need some players with game sense.
 
Vertigo!?

Australia captain Pat Cummins: "It doesn't change the plans too much. We would have had a bat but it's fine.

"We've got two changes. Steve [Smith] has struggled in the warm-up [after struggling with vertigo this week]
Blimey, that's not something you hear of causing someone to miss a game very often.
