My god we have dropped some catches this world cup. Dropping russell may be huge here.

Nope, luckily Woakes caught him second time around and it didn't cost them much.

Disappointing effort by the windies with bat and ball tonight.

England by 8 wickets ton to Joe Root

[batmanbegins]

Terrific performance. Pity about roy and morgan, hopefully they can recover quickly. With Archer and wood we finally have 2 decent quicks which is very nice.

Roy pulled a hammy, prob would not have batted ?
Morgan could hardly walk , may have batted ?
EG might have effectively been 1/0 or 2/0 ?

Root opens the batting with Bairstow
They were up against the explosive WI attack, most prob the best performed attack in the World Cup
Get Root or Bairstow or both out cheaply , EG might have lost this match

Root makes a ton not out
Awesome innings
It was a masterclass innings on how to play pull shots
If anyone didnt see this innings, watch a replay , Roots handling of short pitched stuff was universal class

[RB]

Is there any reason why you abreviate England as EG rather than the more common ENG, Mal?

[Armchair expert]

Should be UN United Nations of cricket Pakistan South Africans Barbadians Irish and probably more

[mal]

Over the years on various sites I often abbreviate sporting teams to 2 letters in capitals
Just an idiosyncrasy or idiotsincrazy of mine

In the cricket I post
England = EG[for example ]
West Indies = WI
Australia = AU
etc etc

In the football I post
Norwood = NW
Port Adelaide = PA
St Kilda = SK
Adelaide Crows = AC
etc etc

The abbreviations saves time when posting , and might also delay onset RSI in my fingers

[Brodlach]

Shouldn’t that be RS Mal?

[RB]

The abbreviations saves time when posting

Fair enough, especially if you're as busy as most of us SA Footy posters!

[The Dark Knight]

We are batting first tonight, Behrendorff in for Richardson

[stampy]

apart from the afl ****** up score review system, is there another sporting review system anywhere that is as crap as the drs? depending on the magots decision there can be out/not out, FIX THE **** UP ICC!!!!

[Jim05]

Another fail from Khawaja.
How much longer can we carry him?

[Armchair expert]

Warner is a concern, if he doesn't' go on with his slow starts then it is basically a team handicap.

Did he replace Coulter-Nile?

[Jim05]

He wasn’t great tonight but did his job and was trying to give Finch the strike. Will take an 80 run opening partnership off 16 overs every game

[PatowalongaPirate]

Well done Skipper.

[tigerpie]

Is Malinga wearing a chest pad to bowl in?
Been in a good paddock?

[PatowalongaPirate]

Kumar needs to lay off his Warner bashing now. I think 15 overs of it is enough.

[Grenville]

[quote="Armchair expert"]Warner is a cancer on world cricket.

Agreed.
