Cricket World Cup 2023

[Simon Buttle]

All out for 156, utterly disgraceful, hang your heads in shame lads.

 

[Walken]

Fake an injury stokesy and just rehab that knee for the test series

I suspect that total might be 100-150 runs short of decent. SL are a flaky team but...

@ us

 

[marekb]

Wow, forgot about the cricket, just seen the total, utterly shambolic, we've well and truly dropped from the top of the tree.

 

[PITA]

I'm embarrassed by the performance during the world cup but I'd be more embarrassed if I was Bangladeshi. Imagine losing to this England team.

 

[Pazza]

fail to prepare, prepare to fail! We should have played more 50 over games, there are just not enough leading to a World Cup. We get exactly what we deserved. Back to the One Day drawing book!

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

About as comprehensive as it gets.

 

[Walken]

Watch them start winning games now we are out, will legit lose it if they start performing

Oh no doubt they will do, Steve Harmison saying some of this lot have had their day now.

if England win all their remaining games, they are still a chance for the semis....but the odds on that occurring are very long.

 

[Billy Dean]

Feels like a bit of focus has been lost on the 50 over game the last couple of years or so.

 

[deipnosophist]

It feels like an India vs SA final is in the offing...

 

[Tommy Chong]

It feels like an India vs SA final is in the offing...

Very possible…

 

[deipnosophist]

Australia should beat NZ...they are a cricketing bogey team for us (and most other countries, to be fair). Quite a points gap will consequently open up between top 4 and the rest: not an insurmountable gap...but a not insignificant one.
