big question mark over Morgan batting at all too ... hope the necessary reshuffle batting order pays dividends up against Windies pace attack
CWC 19: England v West Indies 14/6/19
- Thread starter Sarge
- Start date
Morgan update
Eoin Morgan has a back spasm. He is unable to bat for 28 minutes at the start of England’s innings because he was off the field for that time.
unlikely he'll bat at all IMO

Excellent bowling performance by England.
The only slight worry is Rachid.
Will Buttler open with Bairstow?

England only need 4-5 an over, so need to tell themselves not to throw a bat at any short stuff but just slowly accumulate runs from bad balls
likely makeshift openers IMO

So Root and Bairstow open.
Buttler ppemd in the IPL but Root makes sense.
With the injuries we need to get these runs without losing many wickets.

9-0 after 2 overs

Russell seems to have picked up an injury? .... is there some local bug or insect native to Southampton infecting players on both sides?

61/0 if we don’t win from here there’s something severely wrong.
62-0 after 10 overs ...England looking good with a makeshift opening pair

I know a lot of people from this side of Hampshire that would agree that there are certain strange things and goings on over that side of Hampshire53-0 after 8 overs

Have they even heard of cricket over your side?! I suppose they know stumps as what people have instead of teeth... ?

Archer has made a big difference.
As others have suggested we used to have a fantastic batting line up and a good bowling attack.
With Archer (and Wood fit) the bowling looks to be as good (proviso that Rachid gets his form back).
We can now blow teams away with the ball as well as the bat.

Many a true word said in jest Hampshire
Woakes coming in at three. Curious move this.
Bairstow gone for 45 .... 100-1 after 15 overs
Woakes in at three, wow this is one day cricket not test. Bit early for a night watchman ?
Two bowlers at the crease at the moment!!
Decent bowling from Holder ... England scored 'only' 3 runs off that over 103-1 after 16 overs
or ODI allrounders?
146-1 after 22 overs
67 to win... c'mon England

Crazy review there
160/1 this has been so comfortable. I thought this would be a real test for the England batting line up, but no it’s been really easy. Even with Roy and Morgan injured.
yep, was obviously a wasted review that
171-1 after 27 overs..... 42 to win
think its 'safe' for me to head to work

What a player Joe Root is.
He is the perfect foil for Roy, Bairstow, Buttler, Stokes.
Hope he gets his 100.

Easy win and should be very comfortable wins in the next 2 aswell
Great knock from Joe Root again, and a good mention for Bairstow and Woakes. They’ve done a professional job during this run chase. We move on to the next and hopefully weather won’t be an issue. Well done boys!
Well played, Root. Good bat to watch.
Losing the toss may have been decisive but that was an abject performance from West Indies. I'm off.
