I hate Kohli, such an oboxious fucker, and so far up his own arse he matches 1or 2 on this forum.
India captain Virat Kohli has been fined for his "aggressive" approach to an umpire during their 11-run win over Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup.
Kohli has been docked 25% of his match fee and given one demerit point for breaching level one of the ICC code of conduct, for "excessive appealing".
The 30-year-old admitted the charge after advancing towards umpire Aleem Dar when appealing an lbw decision.
Kohli now has two demerit points on his record, after receiving one for aggressive behaviour towards umpires during a Test match against South Africa in Pretoria in January 2018.
Level one breaches carry a maximum punishment of a 50% match fee deduction and two demerit points. If a player accrues four demerit points within a 24-month period, they will receive a ban.
If Roy isn't fit for Tuesday then we should push Moeen up to open. He would be far more effective teeing off from the start especially with the early fielding restrictions, then Vince could bat 5 or 6 and come in when there maybe less pressure or play either Curren, Dawson or Plunkett at No.8 after Woakes which would also give us another bowling option.
I think 6 bowlers are more enough, especially with Root being able to bowl a few overs.
We don't need to panic, we have answered most questions asked over the last few years (in limited overs cricket anyway). I still believe we will make the semi-finals.

I'm not saying we need more bowlers, my point is about using Moeen's batting more effectively, he doesn't seem to perform well when things are tight.

You mentioned playing another bowler in place of Vince, which gives us 4 batman and 7 bowlers (excluding Root). I get what you are saying about Ali, but this has been tried and he isn't good enough.
I don't think we should be making changes to get the best out of Ali, he's not a good enough batsman to warrant doing that.

I said Vince could bat lower OR add another all-rounder.

Yes and replacing Vince with an all rounded would give us 7 bowlers like I said above. I never said you stated it was the answer. You raised it as a possibility, I gave my opinion that this is too many bowlers.
Not quite sure how relevant the 'OR' is, you put it forward as an option.
Lords drys pretty quick doesn't it ? If the heavy rain stops at 7am, how long do people reckon it will take to be ready for the start ? We're trying to decide what to do for tomorrow. We'll probably meet up Baker Street and have breakfast & beers, but no point getting there too early if play won't start until early afternoon. Obviously playing it by ear.

Would the ICC have the guts to do that though...
SA 62-1 15
Going to be tough with the remaining opponents.

Imagine him coming in to open and scoring a ton but still struggling at 7!

The world is certainly changing.
Rain is forecast to stop around 1pm.

When do we panic?
