we will screw up this world cup.
Senseless batting in the last quarter if an hour. Every third or fourth game, we put in a shocker like this at the most innocuous of times. |  |

Pre season friendly innit.
2 of the Top 6 sitting the game out.
....and they will probably still win.
I am more worried about the bowling. |  | | |

You just put Sky on didn't you??
I think every England fan is well aware that we're likely to be really good but then have this sort of stupid aberration that proves costly. That was annoying though, just a complete lack of composure and reading the match situation - very comfortable - from Butler and Ali.
On the plus side this is going to be a much more entertaining next hour than it might have been. |  |

I guess the other plus is allowing Denly some time in the middle to see if he is up to it.
And edit. Yes, I did. :( [Post edited 17 May 2019 20:04]

Stokes and Curran were very good too, the former in particular had to hold that together.
Just got a text from a mate saying: Amazing how making hard work of chasing 340 is now seen as average. | |

I still think against a side with a decent odi bowling unit, they'll struggle to score as big a runs...all we know is this England team wont hang around at the crease just ticking the scoreboard over waiting to find out if they could grind a victory out | | | |

They might be favourites for the World Cup but with Smith and Warner back for the Aussies it might not be as straightforward as some pundits think! | | | |

All i know is that my head bloody hurts after watching it. Not many better days out than a day at TB |  |

Well you had a better day than I had last Summer when England collapsed in a session and then there were no trains running back to London.
Take it you had drunk enough beer to not feel cold. | |

I was there then too. The only bad day I've seen at TB in years. Only noticed the cold in the morning, the free bar certainly helps the consumption | |

By the way, has anyone got any idea how Joe Denly has got into the squad? |  | | |

The cynical amongst us would never mention that Denly and chair of selectors both played for Kent at the same time. | | | |

We were missing 3 players who will be definite starters. As amazing as it sounds our bowlers did well keeping it to 340 odd which was below par. Finally we saw how deep our batting goes as well as doing well when our batsman were put under pressure. Handy knock for Stokes to get some time in the middle. |  | | |

Another factor is that the ICC decide on the pitches not the ECB because it is a World Cup. | |
