Is it better to have arrived 7 games too late than never have arrived at all? Asking on behalf of Messrs Bairstow, Root, Livingstone and Buttler!Ben Stokes has arrived. 7 games too late.3 - Sponsored links:

As much as that is the target, it demonstrates how far we've fallen that we have had to rely on wins against Bangladesh and the Netherlands to give ourselves even a chance of qualifying.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Root having a shocking world cup, burning a review, then dropping a chance next ball. Though the same could be said of Buttler who should have gone for it.1

all talk of loss of form for England in this tournament is dismal bullshine appeasing what has been a desperate abrogation of professionalism by most of the 7 batters, chief among them the captain, he also carries the can for moronic choices when winning the toss
the continual slogging at all bowling regardless of the conditions and what's actually served up was tantamount to throwing at least half the games
Afghanistan has proved again and again that even on tricky pitches against decent attacks, measured accumulation will keep you in the game far longer and with tremendous results for them.
Barely a handful of England's batters have been got out by good bowling, in 40+ years of watching cricket in its various forms never have I seen such flagrant disregard for just doing one's job properly.
Marais Erasmus has just rubbed salt into England's self inflicted wounds by inventing some doubt about Root's facile catch of Engelbrecht. Not that Root or Buttler deserve any favours. Karma coming home to roost.1 -
179 all out. England win by 160 runs0

As long as England don’t lose really badly to Pakistan, you’d think that that probably confirms their place for the Champions Trophy…
Four teams on four points competing for two places. I’d be shocked if Bangladesh or Netherlands got positive results against Australia or India respectively.
- ENG (-0.885 NRR) vs Pakistan on Saturday
- BAN (-1.142 NRR) vs Australia on Saturday
- SL (-1.160 NRR) vs New Zealand on Thursday
- NED (-1.635 NRR) vs India on Sunday0 -

I agree with this . Even during our test bazball frenzy there have been times where Stokes has patted them back and just smashed the bad ball or opened up when he was working with the tail.
Dodgy shot selection and not playing the situation.0 -
SL won the toss and elected to bat. Three down and despite that being dropped before scoring that hasn't stopped Kusal Perera from playing his own game - 51* off just 22 balls out of 70-3 off 7.4. The fastest 50 of any player in any WC game against NZ.0

There's been some pretty dumb cricket being played in this WC but Kusal Perera has put himself at the very top. Now 70-5 with still more than 40 overs to go.0

Well that looks like that. NZ will knock whatever they need to in a nanosecond thus securing their place in the semis

Should be good enough for us to secure a mighty 7th place as well as Bangladesh and Netherlands won't beat Australia and India.Addick Addict said:105-7

NZ not hanging about here.
Almost halfway to the required total in just 11 overs.0 -
NZ win by 5 wickets with 26.4 overs to spare0

NZ almost certainly now play India in the semi final.
"Pakistan need to beat England by about 300 runs to usurp NZ's NRR. If England get to 150, Pakistan will have to chase the target in 3.4 overs".4 -
The guardian’s take on Buttlers drop in form, they think due to his workload. The interesting bit is that he has played in 24 of the last 26 months , and only had a break because of a broken digit. That’s quite a workload .
