Pretty much going to form. Ind, Aus, Eng, NZ were overwhelmingy the pundits choices for the semis before it all began.

Eng might get a bit of a jolting on tomorrow [Frid]? Just a thought.Last edited by DracoM; 21-06-19, 10:42.Comment

Cricket: England in prime and undiluted self-destruct mode as I watch - bit like our politics at the mo.
I can scarcely believe what I'm seeing.

Don’t forget we got well and truly beaten by West Indies in the test series ..... I always suspect No.1 and/or favourites was a little OTT .......Originally posted by DracoM View Post

Massive difference between a tournament and a bilateral series. England have bigged themselves up for the last 2 years completely pointlessly and are going to look extremely stupid if they don’t make it to the semi finals.Comment

Odd thing is our "boring" old one day set up with Alistair Cook, Ian Bell etc. would probably have won this one. England only had to play out time to get to the target. The good news. Stokes played properly for the situation. Malinga thinks it was keeping him quiet that lead to Sri Lanka's victory* but there were 3 overs left with only 20 odd needed when Stokes was left "high and dry".

To Lord’s for the first of five matches. A responsible and entertaining first innings from Pakistan set a competitive total that left SA playing catch-up, with result that they are the first team out of the competition. I would not have predicted that.
Big match tomorrow.Comment
