At one stage it was looking like we'd be chasing somewhere around 180, great fightback there. COE

Really good start with the bat.

 

[midoshairband]

getting well ahead of the rate during the powerplay was very important. lower risk shots against the spinners now.

 

[midoshairband]

think the pressure of a World Cup has got to Brook this tournament. he was so good in Pakistan.

 

[PCozzie]

Why?

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Is this somehow getting nervy..?

 

[PCozzie]

When it got down to 6 an over for England it ceased to be a T20 match for us. All we needed to do was treat it as the mid-overs of a one-day international. Pick up ones and twos and put the bad ball away. We're not score building now. FFS.

FFS

 

[midoshairband]

good lord, what the hell are we doing here.

 

[UncleBuck]

This isn’t going to plan….??‍

 

[PCozzie]

Yikes

 

[Timbo Tottenham]

Maybe we should try to not f*ck this up.

 

[midoshairband]

their spinners haven't even had to bowl that well, we've gifted them wickets. so sloppy.

Do you think the thick England cricketers know that.?

Just think they play the occasion rather than the score in front of them. It's like being 2-0 up in injury time and sending the keeper up to try to get a third.

 

[midoshairband]

this is just really bad cricket.

 

[PCozzie]

Fuck me another wicket. We've managed this run chase horrifically after the openers got out.

 

[LSUY]

England's performance was a load of Tottenham. A steaming pile of Hotspur. They made today so much harder and nerve racking than it should have been.

 

[Timbo Tottenham]

Phew.

 

[midoshairband]

??

never in doubt.
