Cricket World Cup 2015 (and build up to)

Atletico Addick

Positive start from Ali & Bell.. if they can get us upto the ton mark we're in with a sneaky chance, but don't think we've got anywhere near the strength in depth

Atletico Addick

`...and that lasted long

Callumcafc

FFS Ali. Starc just too quick and the attempted pull loops straight into the hands of mid on. Gone for 10.
25-1, 4.4 overs.



29-1, 5 overs.

Bell 12 (15)
Ballance 4 (2)

Callumcafc

If the Aussie commentators were any further up Johnson's arse they'd have brown stuff on their noses.

38-1, 6 overs.

On comes Johnson.

Callumcafc

43-1, 8 overs.

Ballance 10 (10)
Bell 18 (25)

Callumcafc

Stupid batting. 49-2, 9.4 overs.

Ballance [10(13)] chips the slower bowler Marsh straight at silly mid on / short mid wicket.


50-2, 10 overs.

ValleyGary

Two cheap wickets. Same old story.

Callumcafc

Bell slogs the medium pacer into the deep and gets caught by the sweeper for 36 (45).

66-3, 13.4 overs.

mrbligh

at least we've all got charlton to look forward to

Callumcafc

WTF Root [5(12)] skies him up in the air and Haddin catches it.

66-4, 13.5 overs.

Marsh 2.5-0-9-3
???

Lincsaddick

Trouble is .. we have NO-ONE called Mitchell .. not sure whether to put ((:>) or ((:<) .. another shagging for England

Callumcafc

We need to get to 200 by the 35th over (without losing more wickets) and take the powerplay, get some momentum and hope to score 143 off the final 15 overs... lol

Lincsaddick

It's best to just write this game off and for Morgan, Taylor, Buttler and the rest to get some batting practice rather than try to chase a pretty impossible target .. sad as I am to type this

Callumcafc

More WTF cricket. Morgan attempts to pull Marsh, hits the toe end and Haddin takes a catch behind the stumps?

He's out for 0 anyway. And the medium pacer has 4-13. Did we miss a trick with Bopara?

73-5, 18 overs.

Lincsaddick

Morgan .. the new Cook .. ouch !!!!!!!!!

Addick Addict

You couldn't write that. Morgan trying to pull, gets a toe end and Haddin takes it diving to his left.

That's four ducks and the grand total of two runs in the last five innings.

Nobody will want the poisoned chalice of the England captaincy.

Boycott talking a lot of sense, as usual. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/31447147

Give it to a bowler who doesn't usually bat anyway (Broad).

Callumcafc

79-5, 19 overs.

I think we will be bowled out for under two hundred, Johnson with a five for and Starc with three wickets.

Can i revise that to under 120.

Callumcafc

Jos Buttler 200 not out. I can feel it.

MrOneLung

To be fair why should the batsmen bother when the bowlers are incapable of landing the ball within six feet of the target area.

Callumcafc

And that's the most ridiculous catch in front of square I think I've ever seen, Buttler couldn't have hit that any harder. Obviously not meant to be today lol

92-6, 21.2 overs

Nothing to do with the captaincy, both Cook and Morgan are simply not good enough for top class ODI cricket.
Goody Two Shoes teachers pet will quite happily take on the job.

Callumcafc

New Zealand in Wellington on Thursday/Friday. That'll be interesting.........

Callumcafc

WOW the Aussies drop one!!

I now understand how you got to do it so much.

Callumcafc

Get in there James Taylor.

Callumcafc

184-6, 35 overs

Taylor 66 (69)
Woakes 37 (40)

England need 159 from 90... lol

Callumcafc

Make that 184-7, 35.2 overs. Woakes skies a Johnson slower ball.
