Very glad NZ aren't in our group - their middle order is near on perfect. Can seriously strangle a team however well they start.
Great tournament so far, Afghanistan v England next up; can imagine Afghans sticking us in to bat first if they win the toss and us to bowl first if we win it.
New Zealand the complete package. Decent batsmen (their lowish scores so far don't tell the full story) great captaining, bowling tighter than an unpleasant analogy, decent fielding. Surely the team to beat
I'm sure that was an extremely insightful interview that Nasser had with the captain from Afgahnistan but I must admit I did struggle to understand it.
Hopefully Morgan will go after this tournament. Giving the captaincy to Root for T20 and ODIs will be a good stepping stone for eventually taking over in all formats.

England are batting without brains. 57-6 against Afghanistan is embarrassing.
Exactly this. This is not a 200 plus track. 150 is a winning score but too many of them have taken the positive attitude too far (apart from Morgan who was anything but positive) on a track that is slow and low.
With the exception of Vince and Root what a pathetic batting performance. Morgan has totally lost it, his head is all over the place. Not playing a straight one just about sums it up. We will be lucky to reach a hundred.

Root is incredibly adaptable, btw. Lovely to watch.
I hope Vince does well, I've got a lot of time for him.That'll be the kiss of death then !
A good chance for the batsmen to bat through as well
