Best to bat last if rain is around

Yes,fair comment. Let's hope they get 10 overs in.

No rain and the pitch is clearly fit to play but let’s keep delaying. I’m astonished that the nation that dictated fixture schedule times, picked their own semi final slot and dictated that they’d go through if the semi can’t be played aren’t in a rush back on to the pitch.

Back on at 6:40

Big wicket

This is a great effort from our bowlers, so far.
Hope the batsmen are up for this.

1000 World Cup runs for Jos.
Well done!

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:00 pm

That's not good.
Jos gone.

The fat lady is warming up for England.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:10 pm

Possibly game over now.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:18 pm

They think it's all over . . .

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:20 pm

I know India are very good but what even is this sh1te?

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:24 pm

Absolutely pathetic performance topped off by that Curran review

Gareth didn't phone them with a pep talk, did he?

Hard to tell if that's sarcastic or not.

Went for a shower at 33-1, get back 53-5. Life as an England fan. You just know the football team will go out on penalties and the Olympics won’t go well. Every few years we get to live with one of these.

Mondsley · Post by **Mondsley** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:37 pm

Brainless cricket from England. Hopefully spells the end for Agent Mott.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 8:53 pm

Pick a side packed with flat track bullies and don’t be surprised when you struggle against a good team on a bowler friendly pitch.

Buttler and Mott should have been sacked after the last 50 over World Cup.
Bring in a strong coach who doesn’t pander to the players.

Lip · Post by **Lip** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:02 pm

What a showing up. Sack em all.

Disappointing!

Wish it had been rained off so we could have just blamed that

Flixtonclaret1 · Post by **Flixtonclaret1** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:14 pm

Not even sure Buttler or Livingstone would get into Lancs T20 team ….. Phil Salt would!

I’ve never seen England in the olympics.

Bordeauxclaret · Post by **Bordeauxclaret** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 9:35 pm

Hopefully a reporter will ask why we decided not to use one of our front line spinners on that wicket.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 10:02 pm

India are far better anyhow.

But Buttlers decisions were horrific.

Stonehouse · Post by **Stonehouse** » Thu Jun 27, 2024 10:15 pm

At least the cricket team got to the semis with a mixture of good and bad performances ,Southgate’s lot wouldn’t know a good performance if it slapped them in the face.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Fri Jun 28, 2024 9:00 am

I always thought it was going to be tough against India but that was really disappointing last night.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 5:08 pm

India have scored 176/7 in the final

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:24 pm

South Africa require 42from 33

Klassen and Miller key parternship for this game.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:25 pm

South Africa want 49 from 35 balls and are just four wickets down.

Ha ha - you’re in front of me. I’ve got the football on tv and the cricket on Sky Go.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:27 pm

Down to a run per ball, 30 off 30.

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:27 pm

South Africa’s to lose now.

I have it the other way round. Tony.

He’s out on Sky Go too

Even though it’s SA they are going to have to throw it away surely.

I might review this now. 30 needed off 30 is now 21 off 14 with two more wickets down

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:47 pm

20 from 10.

Miller at non strikers end

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:51 pm

16 from the final over.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:52 pm

14 runs scored from the last four overs. They need 16 to win from the last over.

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Sat Jun 29, 2024 6:53 pm

What a catch

His foot work and balance absolutely incredible.

South Africa doing South African things.
