    I'll be hoping for a good England showing, with Morgan as captain.

    Fairly bitter taste watching it all go on without Ireland though.

    All this hype around England... it just feels like they're setting themselves up for a big fall. Scores of 400+ are great and all but they're not the only way to win cricket matches. I expect them to comfortably makes the semis but once they're at that point they're only a few bad shots away from a sub par total. There's no room for error in the knockout phase.

    yeah I think I agree with that, no surprise if they win it, but equally unsurprising if they shít the bed completely at some stage.

    And England batting first in the opener

    thanks...will give it a go.

    been listening to TMS since I heard a tour england v india when Tendulker was just a kid.

    really love their commentary.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭s3rtvdbwfj81ch


    Ah yeah TMS is the best by a country mile, but Guerilla is fine too, they cover a lot of Ireland's games as well, for future reference.

    Morgan made 57, Stokes now the first England batsman into the 60s


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Buttler out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL

    300/8 going into last over


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭s3rtvdbwfj81ch


    not even 320 from 4 of the first 5 going 50+?

    that's a bad innings.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,158 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    This is actually quite a good indicator of exactly how good England are. Their batting didn't quite fire so let's see how their bowling unit defend a fairly gettable target.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 586 ✭✭✭Is1ldur


    I can't seem to listen to Guerilla Cricket. Anyone else having issues?

    Edit - Seems to be the firewall in work. Got it going now on mobile data


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 314 ✭✭Blinky Plebum


    Hopefully England don't win the whole thing,don't think I could stand looking at Eoin Morgan picking up the world cup trophy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,916 ✭✭✭✭Discodog


    They were saying at the beginning about lots of ways to listen including an icc site.

    Anyone tried?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Amla retired hurt and markram out. Testing times for SA


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Great over this from Van den dussen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    De Kock out and SA in some bother now on 129/3. Amla might come back at some stage though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Duminy just gives away his wicket

    oh Ben Stokes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,808 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    That catch from Stokes...I'm struggling to think of a better one right now.

    The one against the Aussies at Trent Bridge was the better catch, in my opinion. He was fielding at gully (or 4th slip, maybe?) that day, consequently he had far less time to react than he had today. Also, the ball had more or less passed him when he snared it. Today's was a brilliant effort, no question about it. But the Trent Bridge one was better, IMO.

    This one .. ?




    I think considering the height of today’s catch and the ground he needed to make today’s by a way surpasses it.

    That's the one. Absolute stunner of a catch. Better than today's, for me. We'll have to agree to disagree.

    you know Eoin Morgan has had a British passport since birth right?

    His mother is English, so England could just as easily claim that Ireland were taking one of theirs.

    WI won the toss, and elected to put Pakistan in first.
