[Cricket] The ICC Champions Trophy

[Eeyore]

That pitch looks as flat as my singing. Unless the Aussies forget their bats, it needs a big score.

 

[Steve in Japan]

219 for 4. Brooks caught by Carey, another great catch.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Duckett's been excellent today, as has Root. Questions around the rest of the batsmen getting out on this wicket tbh.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Buttler gone cheaply (another one). 280-5.

 

[Eeyore]

Long way to go here, but unless they have a huge last five overs, I'm not sure England will have enough.

 

[Eeyore]

I think Duckett needs about 25 for the highest ever England ODI score ?

I remember Hales getting 180

 

[A1X]

I reckon 2015-19 England make 400 on this pitch against this attack, easily

 

[Steve in Japan]

Oh dear Livingstone also gone. 316-6.

 

[Steve in Japan]

Massive from Duckett. 165 then finally gets out to a rank ball from Labuchagne. He's got the majority of our runs.

 

[Eeyore]

I reckon 2015-19 England make 400 on this pitch against this attack, easily

Yes. That was the team that posted nearly 500 against the Australians on a Trent Bridge table.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Me likey

Off you pop.

 

[Si Gull]

Oh...

 

[tedebear]

(sorry)

 

[Pevenseagull]

At least the team with the most sometime Sussex players won.




dear oh dear

Goalkeepers catch? Would Bart have got a hand on it?

Well that was a bit painful. Whoever wondered if 351 was enough was quite right.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Afghanistan win the toss and bat, a must win for Engerrrrland.

 

[SlickHenry]

Must win game. Was a bit surprised that Butler suggested he may step down. Maybe give it to Brook so he can focus entirely on his batting.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I didn't realise India have managed to wangle such a competitive advantage as they seem to have done in this tournament. How have they managed to play all of their group games without travelling?

Yeah highly questionable. Think they claimed it wasn't "safe" for them to play in Pakistan.
