Official ICC Cricket World Cup - Summer 2019 One Dayers
Discussion
They have beaten the West Indies in their last five ODI.
They have a tough road if they want to make the last four, but they do look a decent bunch and I love the style.
SA and WI are off cycle for this World Cup. They are basically out. Looks like England, India, Australia and NZ for the final four. But I don’t think NZ have played any of the top three yet.
So far no real shocks, but some lovely cricket.

I think England got frustrated with their over rate slowdown yesterday and started taking risks to push things forward, better to weather an early onslaught then push hard in the last ten overs.
We have got to learn how to cope when we lose the toss or when the pitch isn't favouring us. Australia at Lords could be a struggle, the place is a sort of reverse fortress for us, as everyone brings their A game to the home of cricket.

I agree, Though whilst Root was in the result was not in doubt. He controls the pace beautifully (although we will never make 500 if Root bats more than six balls).
England seem to lose their heads without Root. Stokes showed how to bat it’s a shame our on paper strong tail could not take the hints. Moeen was daft, Woakes got done by a good ball. Rashid, Wood and Archer could have done better.
Anyway Go Afghanistan !

You are far too forgiving sir, if the shoe was on the other foot it'd be like something like we've never seen.
I fully expect Smith & Warner to get a humongous amounts of stick tomorrow & deservedly so.
Good bit from Bairstow today highlighting his memories of not even two years ago when Lehman was asking the Aussie crowds to make Stuart Broad cry and go home. Fast forward and now Langer is basically pleading for mercy. I fully expect Smith & Warner to get a humongous amounts of stick tomorrow & deservedly so.
Typically Aussie more whine than a French vineyard.

Bloody hell, that's a dramatic improvement. I just hope England can get a decent run chase going in response. Sorry if I sound incredibly pessimistic but that pretty dreadful start has rattled my confidence.
Ha ha, Anyone who has spent any time watching England cricket has seen us this it all away from any number of promising positions. So it’s no surprise we are massive pessimists. We beat the Aussies 5-0 last time they were here. Ok they have a couple of guys back, but we should be mopping up these smaller teams ready for the big shows against India and New Zealand
Well my opinion on Moeen has not changed much based on that piece of asshat batting.
Finch batted brilliantly this morning and Starc is class.
England have a feeble issues here.
Morgan backed us to chase, but this is the third time we have screwed it up.
Vince cannot be allowed to continue it has to be over.
Plunkett is a better option than two spinners.
We have fluffed our lines so far.

FFS Archer just chipped it to mid-on. Again. He telegraphed the shot he wanted to play the previous ball and missed it, then was kind enough to jump with both feet into the blindingly obvious trap set for him. It's as if there's no thought process whatsoever.
I don’t think you could reasonably expect Archer to chase that down. Aussies outplayed us today, I hope Morgan learns from this and backs us to bat first in future
I think England are far more talented than this, and I fully believe we will show it before the competition is over.
I still believe, Bairstow, Root and Buttler are absolutely first rate players and we didn’t become number without proving it home and abroad.
We need to adjust and show a bit of mongrel but I still believe.
